Individual skill

literature-review

Writes thematic literature reviews that synthesize sources into argument-driven narratives rather than sequential summaries. Identifies patterns, gaps, and contradictions across existing research. Use when the user asks to write a literature review, survey existing research, synthesize sources, or map the scholarly landscape on a topic. Do NOT use for single-paper summaries, annotated bibliographies, or research paper structure (use research-paper-structure for full papers).
