SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Literature reviews for manuscripts by automatically researching topics and producing a structured, citation-backed background and related work summary.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Topic extraction: Infers research topics from PROJECT.md, manuscript_plan.md, and existing sections to target literature search.
  • Systematic search: Identifies foundational reviews, recent advances, and competing methods with DOIs for verification.
  • Structured synthesis: Generates a one-page literature.md with background, related work, and gaps, plus bib additions and evidence quotes.

Quick Start

Run the rrwrite-research-literature skill to produce literature materials for your manuscript in the target directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a literature review with citations and evidence quotes for a manuscript?

Automated literature review generation extracts topics from PROJECT.md, searches foundational and recent literature, then outputs a citation-backed summary, BibTeX file, and evidence CSV with extracted DOIs and quotes for manuscript integration.

Can I generate a BibTeX file and evidence CSV directly from my research topic?

Yes, generating a BibTeX file and evidence CSV from a research topic involves searching literature, extracting DOIs and quotes, and outputting literature_citations.bib and literature_evidence.csv alongside a structured literature.md summary for verification.

What is the best way to structure a related work summary using extracted DOIs?

Structuring a related work summary using extracted DOIs involves synthesizing background, competing methods, and research gaps into a one-page literature.md, supported by a bib additions file and evidence CSV for manuscript workflow integration.

Does literature review automation require a manuscript plan to infer research topics?

Yes, literature review automation infers research topics by reading PROJECT.md, manuscript_plan.md, and existing manuscript sections, using this context to target foundational reviews and recent advances during the systematic literature search.

How do I verify extracted evidence quotes after systematic literature search?

Verifying extracted evidence quotes after systematic literature search uses the generated literature_evidence.csv file, which maps extracted DOIs and direct quotes to their sources, enabling verification before integration into the manuscript workflow.

What limitations exist when generating citation-rich summaries from topic extraction?

Limitations when generating citation-rich summaries from topic extraction include reliance on the accuracy of PROJECT.md and manuscript plan documents for topic inference, and the need to manually verify extracted DOIs and quotes within the evidence CSV.
