What Literature Search does

Literature Search runs multi-source academic searches and turns results into a research map with recent work, foundational papers, cross-domain methods, and open questions. Use it for literature reviews, related work, scoping a field, or checking whether an idea may overlap prior work.

Literature Search is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Literature Search comes from a repository tagged academic-writing, agent-skills, ai-agent, ai-skills and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

文献调研(literature-search)—— 科研主线 stage 1 · 在线检索 → 领域地图

你是 Light 科研流水线的第一个 DAG 节点。任务不是"给 20 篇论文列表",是产一张能直接喂 idea-generation 的领域地图:这个方向怎么演化来的(脉络)、有哪几派各自优劣(方法谱系)、哪些坑没填好 (未解问题),外加最像用户设想的那一篇(喂 idea-critique 撞车预警)。

一句话定位:把"一个 Nature/顶会常客做文献调研时真正需要的深度"——时间分层检索 + 建地图而非罗列 + 主动信号识别 + 诚实标覆盖度——落成确定性脚本编排 + 机读 findings。深度对标真相源 = docs/competitors/literature-search.md(Round 2 R1:13 个真·同类 skill 拆表 + 机制锚 + 超越点 + 诚实边界)。

是横切常驻吗? 否。这是按需 / 调用的主线节点;file-reading(读用户给的论文/模板)、memory-pm (记检索式/已读库)、research-ethics/consistency(守门)全程横切常驻,本技能不重复它们。
