Literature Review Scanner
Use this skill when the workflow needs a broad first-pass paper list before stricter reranking.
Workflow
- Expand the topic with a small set of sub-question queries.
- Search arXiv-oriented engines.
- Deduplicate by URL.
- Return a compact candidate list for stronger downstream filtering and extraction.
