SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, arxiv, pybtex, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Anchors a targeted literature survey around a single input paper, enabling focused landscape analysis, cross-domain exploration, and direction generation with minimal user effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Anchored literature surveying starting from a user-provided paper (PDF, arXiv, or tweet) to map the research landscape and identify gaps.
  • Cross-domain exploration and 2-3 innovation directions grounded in the anchor paper's methodology.
  • Automated extraction of metadata, references, and related papers to inform reviews, proposals, and future work.
  • Paper-triggered search and citation graph traversal to surface both cited and citing works.

Quick Start

Provide a paper reference (PDF, arXiv URL, or tweet) and the skill will generate a targeted literature survey anchored to that input.

Frequently Asked Questions about paper-triggered-survey

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I start a literature survey from a single anchor paper?▼

To start a literature survey from an anchor paper, provide a PDF, arXiv URL, or tweet link. The tool extracts metadata, traverses citation graphs, and outputs a structured report mapping the research landscape around that single input.

What is paper-triggered citation graph traversal for literature reviews?▼

Citation graph traversal maps the research landscape by surfacing both cited works and citing works related to your anchor paper. It automates reference extraction to build a structured, citation-rich survey report for literature reviews.

Can I use an arXiv URL to find related papers and innovation directions?▼

Yes, you can use an arXiv URL as input to automatically extract metadata and search for related work. The tool identifies cross-domain extensions and suggests 2-3 innovation directions grounded in the anchor paper's methodology.

Does this approach work with Semantic Scholar for mapping research landscapes?▼

Yes, the tool leverages Semantic Scholar and arXiv data to traverse citation graphs and search for related papers. This combination enables focused landscape analysis and cross-domain exploration starting from a single input paper.

What is the best way to identify research gaps from an arXiv paper?▼

The best way to identify research gaps from an arXiv paper is to anchor a survey around it, which automatically traverses citation graphs and applies cross-domain exploration to surface extensions, gaps, and suggested next steps.

Do I need pybtex and requests installed to generate a citation-rich survey report?▼

Yes, you need pybtex, requests, and arxiv dependencies installed to parse references, extract metadata, and traverse citation graphs for generating a structured, citation-rich survey report.
