SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Generate structured, literature-backed survey papers by orchestrating multi-LLM outlines, RAG-based writing, citation validation, and coherence enhancement. This skill helps researchers quickly turn a topic into a complete survey draft, including outlines, section content, and verified citations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-LLM parallel outline generation and merging
  • RAG-based subsection writing with inline citations
  • Citation validation, coherence enhancement, and BibTeX export
  • Workflow compatibility with standard research pipelines
  • Use Cases: literature reviews, systematic surveys, and comprehensive literature mapping.

Quick Start

Propose a complete survey outline and draft the first section for a given topic.

Frequently Asked Questions about survey-generation

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a literature review outline with verified citations?▼

You can generate a survey outline by providing a topic and a list of reference papers. The workflow merges parallel outlines, drafts sections using RAG-based content generation, and validates inline citations against your provided paper list.

What is RAG-based academic writing and how does it handle citations?▼

RAG-based academic writing drafts survey subsections by retrieving content from a provided paper list. It validates inline citations against the literature list to ensure references are supported and exports them as BibTeX.

Can I automate systematic survey generation for a large set of papers?▼

Yes, you can automate systematic survey generation by supplying a topic and a comprehensive paper list. The orchestration workflow merges outlines, writes sections via RAG, and enhances local coherence across the generated draft.

How to maintain local coherence across sections in an AI-generated survey?▼

To maintain local coherence across sections in an AI-generated survey, the workflow applies an AutoSurvey-inspired process. It merges multi-LLM outlines and uses RAG-based writing to ensure consistent transitions and structural flow.

Do I need a reference paper list to draft a comprehensive literature survey?▼

Yes, you need a reference paper list to ensure citation validation. The workflow requires a provided paper list to support all inline citations and generate a comprehensive outline with verified references.

What are the limitations of automated survey generation workflows?▼

Automated survey generation workflows are limited by the scope of your provided paper list. Citation validation strictly enforces this boundary, meaning the generated outline and RAG-based writing cannot reference literature outside the input list.
