What problem does it solve? Writing a related-work section requires finding, verifying, and organizing dozens of papers without fabricating references or losing track of which citation supports which claim. This Skill turns scattered paper discovery into a structured literature matrix with verified metadata, citation provenance, and section-level mapping. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Literature Matrix Building: Classifies papers by role (foundational, competitor, dataset, survey) and tracks source status, Zotero status, and Scite support status for each candidate. - Multi-Source Search Routing: Routes queries across Semantic Scholar, PubMed, CrossRef, arXiv, and publisher pages with query provenance tracking. - Section-Level Citation Mapping: Maps papers to thesis sections (SEC-) and claim segments (SEG-) with support grades and deep research packets for weak sections. - Use Case: A PhD student drafting a thesis chapter uses this Skill to build a citation matrix, verify DOI metadata, queue papers into Zotero, and produce a concept-grouped related-work outline with no unverified references. ## Quick Start Use the research-literature-review skill to build a literature matrix and related-work outline for my thesis topic on self-supervised spectral classification.
