What problem does it solve?
This Skill automates the process of conducting systematic literature surveys, helping researchers identify relevant prior art, understand the research landscape, and pinpoint knowledge gaps.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Systematic Literature Search: Conducts iterative searches across academic databases.
- Reference Classification: Categorizes found papers (Foundational, Competing, Complementary, Tangential).
- Gap Analysis: Identifies open questions and positions the user's research.
- BibTeX Generation: Creates formatted citations for new references.
