Academic Literature Review Assistant
Guides researchers through the systematic process of searching, evaluating, and writing comprehensive academic literature reviews.
This skill offers a rigorous framework for creating high-quality literature reviews within the Claude Code environment. Based on empirical research best practices from Stanford REAP, it facilitates the entire academic workflow—from defining research questions and optimizing keyword lists across global databases to identifying critical research gaps and mapping future directions. It provides specialized templates and structural guidance (thematic, chronological, or methodological) to ensure your review is analytical and synthetic rather than just a descriptive list of sources, making it ideal for social scientists and empirical researchers.
