literature-survey-agent

To automate a literature review from arXiv papers, this Skill queries the arXiv API and web searches to gather academic papers, then compiles summaries and comparison tables into a structured document. It generates professional PDF, DOCX, or Markdown outputs using LaTeX and pandoc.

Yes, you can generate a PDF literature survey without writing LaTeX manually. This Skill uses LaTeX and pandoc under the hood to automatically format your research findings, paper summaries, and references into a professional PDF document.

Yes, you need API keys to compile academic research into a structured review. This Skill requires the Tavily API for web searches and the arXiv API to retrieve academic papers, alongside a LaTeX and pandoc installation for document generation.

The best way to compare recent academic papers on a specific topic is using this Skill to automatically extract summaries and generate comparison tables. It organizes arXiv and web search findings into structured sections, including research gaps and references.

Supported output formats for automated document generation include PDF, DOCX, and Markdown. The Skill compiles your literature survey, paper summaries, and comparison tables into these formats using LaTeX and pandoc.

To identify research gaps when conducting a literature survey, this Skill analyzes compiled paper summaries and comparison tables to synthesize findings. It explicitly structures these gaps into the final generated PDF, DOCX, or Markdown review document.
