review-paper

Use when writing a literature review article (narrative, scoping PRISMA-ScR or systematic). Scaffolds a 7-part skeleton with a scope and non-overlap statement, summary-table stubs and reporting-guideline wiring, without inventing citations. Original research is /write-paper.

# Review-Paper Skill

The review-article counterpart to `write-paper` (original research). For *reviewing* someone
else's review article, use `/peer-review` or `/self-review` (the RV1-RV9 probes) instead.

## Step 0 — Format + spine axis (the structure-determining choice)

1. Confirm **format** with the user: narrative (SANRA) | scoping (PRISMA-ScR + JBI) |
   systematic (PRISMA 2020). This decides the reporting guideline and the registration path.
2. Choose the **spine axis** — the single most consequential decision: organize the body by
   **modality** (e.g. 2D → 3D), by **task** (generation / QA / deployment), or by
   **lifecycle stage**. Every body section then follows this one axis; mixing axes is the
   most common structural failure.
3. Require a **scope statement + non-overlap boundary** against prior/adjacent reviews — this
