Systematic literature-review workflow for academic, biomedical, technical
by affaan-mFree
Description
literature-review is an agent skill from the ECC collection by affaan-m, listed on skills.sh. It runs a systematic literature review: finding, screening, synthesising and citing a body of academic or technical work across academic, biomedical, technical and scientific topics. The workflow covers search planning, source screening and synthesis. It supports systematic, scoping and narrative reviews, and covers preparing citation-backed background sections for papers or reports. It is used to synthesise the state of the art on a research question, to find gaps, contradictions and future-work directions, and to compare evidence across peer-reviewed papers, preprints, patents and technical reports. The skill is for work that has to be traceable to its sources. A skill is a SKILL.md file of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task calls for it. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows a Snyk warning, with Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket passing.…
