SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Conducting rigorous literature reviews across multiple databases is time-consuming and error-prone; this skill provides a structured, reproducible workflow to plan, execute, and document reviews.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-database search orchestration: Access PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, and more with a unified workflow.
  • PRISMA-compliant workflow: Supports screening, deduplication, data extraction, and critical appraisal with transparent documentation.
  • Automated document generation: Produces professional Markdown reports and PDFs, with verified citations in multiple styles.
  • Use Case: A researcher conducts a topic-wide systematic review and delivers a publication-ready manuscript with figures and a PRISMA diagram.

Quick Start

Load the assets/review_template.md as the review template and run the starter commands to generate a first draft.
