SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of searching for relevant academic literature in security, zero-knowledge proofs (ZK), LLM security, and confidential computing, saving researchers significant time and effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Literature Search: Queries multiple academic databases and preprint servers including arXiv (cs.CR, cs.LG), IACR ePrint, and Semantic Scholar with venue filtering.
  • Novelty Checking: Assists in identifying prior work to assess the novelty of a new contribution.
  • Related Work Generation: Helps draft the "Related Work" section for academic papers.
  • Use Case: Before submitting a paper on a new ZK-based LLM security technique, use this Skill to ensure no similar work has been recently published and to gather citations for the related work section.

Quick Start

Use the research-lit skill to find papers on verifiable LLM inference.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find academic research papers on zero-knowledge proofs and LLM security?

To find academic research papers on ZK and LLM security, this Skill searches across arXiv, IACR ePrint, and Semantic Scholar to query specific preprint archives and filter by publication venues.

What is the best way to check the novelty of a new confidential computing protocol?

Checking the novelty of a confidential computing protocol involves querying multiple academic sources to identify prior work. This process uses parallel agent execution to synthesize structured results for novelty assessment.

Can I automatically draft a related work section for my cryptography paper?

Yes, you can draft a related work section by gathering citations from literature search results. This Skill synthesizes structured findings from multiple databases to assist in generating related work content for academic papers.

Does literature search for security papers support filtering by specific publication venues?

Yes, literature search for security papers supports filtering by specific publication venues. It queries academic databases like Semantic Scholar and arXiv categories including cs.CR and cs.LG to refine search results.

What are the limitations of using automated literature search for novelty checks?

Limitations of using automated literature search for novelty checks include reliance on indexing by queried sources like arXiv and IACR ePrint. It synthesizes structured results but may not capture very recent or unpublished concurrent submissions.
