SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Generate structured, literature-backed survey papers by orchestrating multi-LLM outlines, RAG-based writing, citation validation, and coherence enhancement. This skill helps researchers quickly turn a topic into a complete survey draft, including outlines, section content, and verified citations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-LLM parallel outline generation and merging
  • RAG-based subsection writing with inline citations
  • Citation validation, coherence enhancement, and BibTeX export
  • Workflow compatibility with standard research pipelines
  • Use Cases: literature reviews, systematic surveys, and comprehensive literature mapping.

Quick Start

Propose a complete survey outline and draft the first section for a given topic.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a literature review outline with verified citations?

You can generate a survey outline by providing a topic and a list of reference papers. The workflow merges parallel outlines, drafts sections using RAG-based content generation, and validates inline citations against your provided paper list.

What is RAG-based academic writing and how does it handle citations?

RAG-based academic writing drafts survey subsections by retrieving content from a provided paper list. It validates inline citations against the literature list to ensure references are supported and exports them as BibTeX.

Can I automate systematic survey generation for a large set of papers?

Yes, you can automate systematic survey generation by supplying a topic and a comprehensive paper list. The orchestration workflow merges outlines, writes sections via RAG, and enhances local coherence across the generated draft.

How to maintain local coherence across sections in an AI-generated survey?

To maintain local coherence across sections in an AI-generated survey, the workflow applies an AutoSurvey-inspired process. It merges multi-LLM outlines and uses RAG-based writing to ensure consistent transitions and structural flow.

Do I need a reference paper list to draft a comprehensive literature survey?

Yes, you need a reference paper list to ensure citation validation. The workflow requires a provided paper list to support all inline citations and generate a comprehensive outline with verified references.

What are the limitations of automated survey generation workflows?

Automated survey generation workflows are limited by the scope of your provided paper list. Citation validation strictly enforces this boundary, meaning the generated outline and RAG-based writing cannot reference literature outside the input list.
