Conduct a multi-paper literature survey on a given research topic. Searches arxiv, Semantic Scholar, and web sources in parallel, then compiles a structured survey note with categorized findings, citation network analysis, and research gap identification. TRIGGER when: user asks for 'literature survey', 'survey papers on X', 'find related work', 'what's the state of the art in X', 'review the literature on X', 'research landscape', or needs a comprehensive overview of a research area.
Conduct a systematic literature survey and produce a structured vault note.
Clarify with user if not explicit:
Execute searches across multiple sources simultaneously:
For each paper found, collect: title, authors, year, venue, citation count, abstract, DOI/URL.
Apply relevance criteria:
Target: top 15-20 papers from combined results.
Group papers by theme/method. Use sequential-thinking for categorization:
Identify: research trends, gaps, contradictions, and opportunities.
