Survey Literature
- Define the question, inclusion boundary, time range, and comparison axes.
- Read the local landscape and project findings before searching.
- Follow
../../references/agent-routing.mdfor thedomain-expertrole. - Produce a source-backed comparison, synthesis, contradictions, unresolved gaps, and project implications. Distinguish source claims from synthesis.
- Save or update the landscape only when requested.
Coverage claims must name the search boundary. Do not call a convenience sample systematic or exhaustive.
Use available scholarly integrations, native search/PDF readers and source adapters.
Record per-source coverage (abstract, full text, figure/table or media interval),
publication/retrieval dates and locators. A talk or demo may supplement paper
evidence but cannot replace missing method/results. For close reading, use the
paper packet acquisition/validation contract in
../read-paper/references/paper-acquisition.md; retain its schema unchanged.
