To automate a literature review across Zotero, Obsidian, and local PDFs, provide a research topic and the skill will search multiple sources, deduplicate findings, and synthesize key papers. It integrates directly with your existing knowledge base to locate and organize relevant literature.

Yes, you can generate BibTeX citations and summaries for arXiv papers. The skill extracts metadata and produces citation-ready BibTeX snippets alongside structured summaries, ensuring your literature synthesis outputs are ready for direct integration into academic papers.

The best way to synthesize related work from multiple papers is using a multi-source integration tool that extracts key ideas, compares methods, and builds a cohesive overview. This skill de-duplicates sources and outputs structured notes for rapid knowledge synthesis.

Yes, this literature review skill works with local PDF files and web sources. It performs multi-source search and integration across local storage, web databases, and note-taking platforms to gather, summarize, and organize relevant literature for your topic.

To extract key ideas and compare methods from research papers, the skill analyzes documents from your connected sources and generates a cohesive literature overview. It automates the summarization process to produce actionable, structured notes for knowledge synthesis.

Limitations of automating literature discovery and synthesis depend on the quality and accessibility of your source data. The skill requires access to Zotero, Obsidian, or local PDFs to function effectively, and outputs are constrained by the available metadata and text within those sources.
