gpd-literature-review

What problem does it solve? Surveying a physics research field manually means reading dozens of abstracts, following citation chains, and reconciling conflicting results, which quickly exhausts time and context. This Skill automates a systematic literature review that maps the intellectual landscape of a topic and produces a structured, citation-verified review document. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Systematic Source Hierarchy: Searches textbooks, review articles, seminal papers, arXiv preprints, and conference proceedings in a mandated priority order. - Citation Network and Controversy Mapping: Traces intellectual lineages, catalogs methods and results with conventions, and documents disagreements between groups. - Verified Output Document: Writes a structured REVIEW.md with foundational works, key results tables, open questions, and a recommended reading path, then audits citations via a bibliographer subagent against INSPIRE, ADS, and arXiv. - Use Case: Before starting a new turbulence modeling project, run the review on "2D Navier-Stokes DNS methods" to get a 30-paper survey with method comparisons, benchmark values, and identified gaps. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a literature review on your physics topic, for example: review the literature on lattice QCD phase transitions at standard depth.
