From the author
Turns a topic into a ranked reading list of the best papers plus a two-column, arXiv-ready literature-review/survey draft grounded in verified citations. Use when a researcher says "write a survey on X", "do a literature review of X", "give me a ranked reading list on X", "what should I read on X first", "draft a survey paper for arXiv", or "two-column related-work survey on X". Searches across DBLP/Crossref/Semantic Scholar/arXiv, ranks candidates by citation impact, venue strength, recency, and citation-graph centrality, clusters them into a taxonomy, verifies every reference, and writes an original-prose survey (intro, taxonomy, per-theme synthesis, open problems) where each claim cites a real, resolved paper. Never fabricates citations, never copies source text — original synthesis only; the author stays the author. Trigger words - survey, literature review, reading list, ranked papers, what to read, arxiv survey, two-column review.

- literature-reviewK-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skillsConducts systematic, scoping, and narrative literature reviews using PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, and other appropriate sources. Use for research synthesis, reproducible literature searches, screening, citation checking, or preparing Markdown and PDF reviews. Tracks search coverage, records versus studies, and evidence limitations; supports meta-analysis planning but does not supply a meta-analysis engine.Engineering★ 55.8K
- 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★ 76
- literature-surveygaasher/Agent-Loop-SkillsUse when the user wants a structured, saturating literature survey on a question — not a one-shot summary, but an evidence/contradiction matrix (sources × claims) built by iterative search until coverage stops growing. Each round expands the search (new sub-topic queries plus citation-graph walks), admits new sources, extracts their claims with verbatim snippets, and records where every source stands on each claim (supports / contradicts / qualifies); the feedback signal is how many new matrix-changing sources a round adds, and it stops at saturation, patience, or budget. The output is the matrix plus a synthesis of consensus, disputes, and gaps, every cell backed by a real citation. Not for grading a written proposal against the literature (that is a proposal-evaluation task) and not for generating new hypotheses — this maps what the literature already says.Writing★ 178
- draft-related-workShaishavMaisuria/research-paper-lifecycle-skillsDrafts or rewrites a Related Work / prior work section positioned against actually-retrieved papers — derives the REQUIRED clusters from the paper's own claimed scope (not just whatever was retrieved), clusters prior work into themes, articulates the delta (what this paper adds) per cluster, enforces a per-cluster citation floor and routes empty expected clusters back to find-papers, follows the target community's placement and citation conventions (numeric ACM/IEEE vs natbib author-year, single- vs double-blind self-citation, where the section sits at NeurIPS/CHI/SIGMOD-style venues), and admits only verified citations. Use when the user says "related work", "prior work", "position my paper against the literature", "how do we differ from X", "reviewers said related work is thin/missing/a laundry list", or asks to add citations to a draft. Works from papers found via find-papers and/or an existing .bib — it never invents references.Science★ 59
- narrative-buildingscdenney/open-science-skillsDrafts or audits a scientific paper’s introduction and framing — the real-world "why", an evidence audit, the funnel from theory to a falsifiable if-then with a named estimand, bridges across experiments, and a contribution list matched to the design. Use when the user asks to write, restructure, or critique an introduction, motivate or frame a paper, repair a gap-in-the-literature opening, sharpen or calibrate a contribution claim, or connect experiments into one argument. Sentence-level flow and wording are out of scope.Design★ 69
- survey-generatorrohitg00/pro-workflowCompile a structured literature survey on any AI/ML topic. Agent curates a research bundle (taxonomy + sections + bibliography of real papers) from a public anchor resource, then a chosen LLM generates the survey artifact. Output target is a wiki page (markdown), not a one-off HTML — survey lands in `<wiki>/derived/surveys/<slug>.md` with full bibliography rows in `sources.md`. Provider-agnostic (Anthropic/OpenAI/OpenRouter/Fireworks/custom OpenAI-compat). Use when the user asks for a "survey", "literature review", "lit review", or "deep dive" on a technical topic.Science★ 2.9K
