SAMRADDHASHRIVASTAVATECH Literature review
Run a structured sweep of the academic literature on a topic.
When to use
- Surveying a research area before writing/SDL-type documents.
- Checking for gaps: what has been studied, what has not.
- Building the reference base of a
deep-researchobjective.
Tools used
literature_review— fromtopic, sweep withlimit_per_source(default 6).
Workflow
- Fix the topic and its scope/boundaries.
literature_reviewacross the sources (arXiv/Crossref).- Cluster by theme/method/position; note gaps and contradictions.
- Back the survey with the actual papers (
web-reader/pdf-research) rather than titles alone.
Input schema
{ "topic": "str", "limit_per_source": "int" }
Output schema
{ "papers": "list[{title,authors,year,source,url}]", "themes": "object" }
Security
A sweep is a map of the conversation, not a verdict. Surface representative positions, including dissenting ones; do not cherry-pick to fit a narrative.
