literature-review
Conducts systematic, scoping, and narrative literature reviews
by k-dense-aiFree
Description
literature-review is an agent skill for conducting systematic, scoping and narrative literature reviews. It searches discipline-appropriate bibliographic databases such as PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv and Semantic Scholar, and uses a web search tool for scoping and supplementary discovery. It synthesises the findings by theme, checks citations for accuracy, and produces documents in markdown and PDF. Use it for a systematic review for research or publication, for synthesising what is known about a topic, for a meta-analysis or scoping review, for the literature section of a paper or thesis, for finding the state of the art and research gaps, or when verified citations and professional formatting are needed. The skill is careful about what it can establish. Ranked web results and extracted excerpts cannot establish exhaustive coverage or replace full-text assessment, and the bundled scripts process normalised records, check DOI registration and render documents. They do not run a complete systematic review automatically. It is part of the k-dense-ai scientific agent skills repository on GitHub, which has about 49,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 2,200 installs.…
