literature-review
From the author
Builds or audits a literature review: evidence map, closest prior work, gap verdict, and synthesis plan. Use to check whether a contribution is novel, map what a literature establishes, or organize a review; systematic reviews get a protocol scaffold.

- related-work-surveyjxtse/scientific-research-skillsConducts a systematic related-work / literature-survey / state-of-the-art review for a research question by defining survey dimensions, searching each axis, building a taxonomy of prior work, identifying the gap, and producing a positioning narrative for a paper's Related Work section. Goes beyond a flat paper list to deliver structured analysis. Use when the user is starting a new research project and needs to map the landscape, asks "what's been done on X?" or "how does my idea compare to existing work?", needs to write or revise a Related Work / Background / Prior Art section, wants to identify a research gap or position their contribution, or asks to build a taxonomy of approaches in a research area.Science★ 73
