SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, arxiv, pybtex, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Anchors a targeted literature survey around a single input paper, enabling focused landscape analysis, cross-domain exploration, and direction generation with minimal user effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Anchored literature surveying starting from a user-provided paper (PDF, arXiv, or tweet) to map the research landscape and identify gaps.
  • Cross-domain exploration and 2-3 innovation directions grounded in the anchor paper's methodology.
  • Automated extraction of metadata, references, and related papers to inform reviews, proposals, and future work.
  • Paper-triggered search and citation graph traversal to surface both cited and citing works.

Quick Start

Provide a paper reference (PDF, arXiv URL, or tweet) and the skill will generate a targeted literature survey anchored to that input.

Frequently Asked Questions about paper-triggered-survey

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a literature survey from a single anchor paper?

To start a literature survey from an anchor paper, provide a PDF, arXiv URL, or tweet link. The tool extracts metadata, traverses citation graphs, and outputs a structured report mapping the research landscape around that single input.

What is paper-triggered citation graph traversal for literature reviews?

Citation graph traversal maps the research landscape by surfacing both cited works and citing works related to your anchor paper. It automates reference extraction to build a structured, citation-rich survey report for literature reviews.

Can I use an arXiv URL to find related papers and innovation directions?

Yes, you can use an arXiv URL as input to automatically extract metadata and search for related work. The tool identifies cross-domain extensions and suggests 2-3 innovation directions grounded in the anchor paper's methodology.

Does this approach work with Semantic Scholar for mapping research landscapes?

Yes, the tool leverages Semantic Scholar and arXiv data to traverse citation graphs and search for related papers. This combination enables focused landscape analysis and cross-domain exploration starting from a single input paper.

What is the best way to identify research gaps from an arXiv paper?

The best way to identify research gaps from an arXiv paper is to anchor a survey around it, which automatically traverses citation graphs and applies cross-domain exploration to surface extensions, gaps, and suggested next steps.

Do I need pybtex and requests installed to generate a citation-rich survey report?

Yes, you need pybtex, requests, and arxiv dependencies installed to parse references, extract metadata, and traverse citation graphs for generating a structured, citation-rich survey report.
