What problem does it solve? Managing a project-scoped literature review in Obsidian often leads to scattered paper notes, unsupported claims, and synthesis that loses track of its sources. This Skill enforces a structured pipeline from Sources/Papers through Knowledge synthesis to Writing handoff, with an evidence gate so only claims backed by evidence records reach drafts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured paper notes and claim extraction: Paper notes live under Sources/Papers with a defined schema, and claims carry claim type, strength, evidence, limitations, and project relevance. - Evidence-gated synthesis: Literature overview, method taxonomy, research gaps, and claim maps are generated in Knowledge, and writing artifacts like related-work drafts are produced only after claims pass the evidence gate. - Literature canvas generation: A Python script builds Maps/literature.canvas as an argument map with paper, claim, method, and gap nodes grouped by subfield, plus a legacy Mermaid graph option. - Use Case: After importing a batch of Zotero paper notes, run the workflow to refresh synthesis notes and regenerate the literature canvas so the project graph reflects the latest reading. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the obsidian-literature-workflow to build the literature canvas and refresh the Knowledge synthesis notes for the current project.
