This skill produces a structured systematic review and synthesis across multiple academic papers or general documents.

# Systematic Document & Literature Review Skill
## Overview
This skill produces a structured **systematic review and synthesis** across multiple academic papers or general documents. Given a topic query or a list of specific files/URLs, it gathers the source material, analyzes the content (objectives, methodology, key findings, limitations) sequentially, synthesizes themes, and outputs a final structured report directly to the user.
**Distinct from single-document review:** This skill does breadth-first synthesis across many sources. If the user hands you exactly one document or one paper URL and asks "review this", route to a standard reading or single-document review skill instead.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when the user wants any of the following:
- A literature survey on an academic topic ("survey transformer attention variants")
- A thematic synthesis across internal documents ("synthesize the last 5 quarterly reports from the KB and find common trends")
- A cross-document comparison ("compare the methodologies across these provided architecture design URLs")
- An overview of trends across a set of files, URLs, or an arXiv time window
Do **not** use this skill when:
- The user provides exactly one document/paper and asks to review it.
- The user asks a factual question that does not require synthesizing multiple sources.
## Workflow
The workflow has four phases. Follow them in order.
### Phase 1: Plan
Before doing any retrieval, confirm the following with the user. If any of these are unclear, ask **one** clarifying question that covers the missing pieces.
- **Source Material**: Are we searching an academic database (`arxiv_search`), an internal Knowledge Base (`kb_search`), or reviewing specific URLs (`url_fetch`)?
- **Scope**: How many sources total? **(Limit to max 15-20 sources to prevent context overflow)**.
- **Output Format**: APA, IEEE, BibTeX, or Standard Professional Report (default for non-academic documents).
### Phase 2: Acquire Sources
Depending on the Source Material established in Phase 1, follow the appropriate acquisition path:
#### Path A: Academic Literature (arXiv)
Use the native `arxiv_search` tool.
- Extract 2-3 core keywords from the user's prompt. Do not use overly long phrases.
- Use relevance sorting unless chronological order is strictly requested.
#### Path B: Internal Documents (Knowledge Base)
Use `kb_search` or `kb_keyword_search` to find relevant internal documents.
- Gather the returned nodes. If context is missing, use `kb_get_window_nodes` or `kb_get_parent_node` to ensure sufficient text for the subagents.
#### Path C: Provided URLs
If the user provides a list of links or file paths:
- Verify the list (cap at 50).
- Use `url_fetch` (for web links) to ingest the content.
### Phase 3: Analyze & Synthesize (Internal Processing)
Once you have ingested the source texts into your context, carefully analyze them. You must mentally or explicitly (in your thinking process) extract the following for *each* source:
- Primary objective
- Approach or methodology
- Key findings
- Limitations or next steps
**Cross-source synthesis**: Then, look across all analyzed sources to identify:
- **Themes**: 3-5 recurring directions, topics, or problem framings.
- **Convergences**: Findings or arguments that multiple documents agree on.
- **Disagreements**: Where sources reach different conclusions.
- **Gaps**: What the collective set of documents does not address.
### Phase 4: Output Final Report
Do not attempt to save to a file. **Directly output the final synthesized report in the chat.** Use markdown formatting. If the user requested a Standard Professional Report, strictly use the following structure:
```markdown
# Systematic Review: [Topic Name]
## 1. Executive Summary
[A high-level 3-5 sentence summary of the entire review, highlighting the most critical insights.]
## 2. Thematic Synthesis
### Themes
- **[Theme 1]**: [Explanation based on sources]
- **[Theme 2]**: [Explanation based on sources]
### Convergences & Disagreements
[Where do the documents align? Where do they conflict?]
### Knowledge Gaps
[What is missing from the current literature/documents?]
## 3. Source Annotations
[Briefly list each analyzed source with its core objective and key finding. E.g.:]
* **[Source Title/ID]**: [1-sentence objective]. Key finding: [1-2 sentences].
## 4. References / Analyzed Sources
[List of all URLs, arXiv IDs, or document names analyzed.]
```
If the user requested APA/IEEE format, adjust the formatting and citation style accordingly.
