SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap planning requires turning a project brief into a scoped literature landscape to anchor Phase 1 directions without prematurely committing to a canonical experiment plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Maps intake context (project-brief.md, STATE.md) into a bounded literature review artifact that guides ideation and scoping.
  • Produces a conservative, evidence-grounded landscape of relevant papers and gaps for Phase 1 bootstrap.
  • Updates project state with a safe next action and preserves memory signals for reuse.

Quick Start

Run the literature-review skill after intake to generate the scoped literature landscape artifact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a project brief into a scoped literature scan for Phase 1 bootstrap?▼

To turn a project brief into a scoped literature scan, this skill reads project-brief.md and STATE.md to produce a bounded, evidence-grounded landscape of relevant papers and gaps for Phase 1 bootstrap.

What is the best way to generate an evidence-based literature review from intake context?▼

Generating an evidence-based literature review from intake context involves mapping existing project briefs into a conservative literature landscape artifact that guides ideation without prematurely committing to an experiment plan.

Do I need an existing anchored literature artifact to start a literature scan?▼

No, you do not need an existing anchored literature artifact to start a literature scan. This skill is applicable specifically when no anchored literature artifact exists, functioning during the direction-search or seed-papers intake mode.

How does literature mapping handle project state updates after generating a review?▼

Literature mapping handles project state updates by refreshing STATE.md accordingly after producing the bootstrap artifact. It writes the output to projects/<slug>/workspace/bootstrap/literature-review.md and preserves memory signals for reuse.

When should I not use this approach for literature scanning?▼

You should not use this approach for literature scanning if you already have an existing anchored literature artifact, as the skill is designed strictly for initial Phase 1 bootstrap and requires no prior canonical experiment plan.
