survey
Investigate a topic across papers, articles, social-media posts, and industry signals, then deliver an indexed Markdown report. Use when the user asks to investigate, survey, gather sources, build an index, collect evidence, round up references, or otherwise wants a thorough cross-source roundup on a specific topic. Depends on documenting-with-sources and writing-quotation.

# Survey
Gather sources from the web, papers, social media, and industry on a specific topic, and produce an indexed Markdown report.
This skill follows the shared sourced-writing conventions defined in `documenting-with-sources`. Read `documenting-with-sources` before drafting.
## Quality criteria
Apply to every source.
- Prefer trustworthy sources (peer-reviewed papers > official blogs > major industry media > personal blogs).
- If the author is an individual, list their affiliation and role. If unknown, look it up.
- For papers, in addition to bibliographic info (authors, affiliations, venue, year), include citation count.
- Always attach a URL.
