SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Generates structured literature surveys from papers collected by paper-navigator, transforming scattered references into a cohesive, analysis-rich report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-stage survey pipeline: outline generation, draft survey, section expansion, summary refinement, and final assembly.
  • Domain-adaptive templates: tailors structure to CS/Medicine/Materials conventions via assets/survey-template.md.
  • Rich output: taxonomy-based analysis, LaTeX-ready fragments, comparative tables, and dense citations.
  • Use Case: after collecting 30-120 papers with paper-navigator, produce a survey-ready document including an Abstract, Introduction, Problem Definition, Methods, Evaluation, Challenges, and Conclusion.

Quick Start

Instruct the agent to generate a complete survey from a 30–120 paper set collected by paper-navigator.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a structured literature survey from collected papers?

To generate a structured literature survey, provide a curated set of 30–120 collected papers. The tool automates outline generation, section expansion, and final assembly into a cohesive Markdown report with taxonomy-based analysis and dense citations.

Can I create a domain-adaptive literature review for Medicine or Materials Science?

Yes, you can create a domain-adaptive literature review for fields like Medicine, Materials Science, or Computer Science. The tool applies domain-specific survey templates to tailor the structure and conventions to your chosen research field.

What sections are included in an automated literature review output?

An automated literature review outputs a full Markdown document including an Abstract, Introduction, Problem Definition, Methods, Evaluation, Challenges, and Conclusion. It also provides LaTeX-ready fragments and comparative tables.

How many papers do I need to create a taxonomy-based survey analysis?

You need a curated set of 30 to 120 papers to create a taxonomy-based survey analysis. This top paper set provides sufficient reference density to generate taxonomy classifications, comparative tables, and rich citations.

Does this survey generation pipeline require a specific paper collection tool?

Yes, the survey generation pipeline requires a curated paper set collected by paper-navigator. It uses this gathered reference data as input to execute its multi-stage survey drafting and summary refinement process.

What is the best way to format references for a research survey draft?

The best way to format references is to let the survey pipeline automatically compile them from the collected papers. The final assembly output is a Markdown survey document featuring dense citations and LaTeX-ready fragments.
