Conduct a systematic literature review on "$ARGUMENTS" using the paper and paper-search CLI tools.

1. Define Scope

Before searching, clarify with the user:

• Topic boundaries and key terms

• Year range (default: last 5 years)

• Target venues or communities (if any)

• Desired number of papers (default: 15-20 core papers)

2. Multi-Query Search

Search with multiple query variations to maximize coverage:

paper-search semanticscholar papers "<main query>" --limit 20 --year <range> paper-search semanticscholar papers "<synonym query>" --limit 20 --year <range> paper-search semanticscholar papers "<related query>" --limit 20 --year <range> paper-search google scholar "<topic>"

Deduplicate results by title/paper ID.

3. Triage

For each unique paper found:

paper-search semanticscholar details <paper_id> paper skim <arxiv_id> --lines 2

Categorize as: highly relevant / somewhat relevant / not relevant.

4. Deep Analysis

For highly relevant papers:

paper outline <arxiv_id> paper read <arxiv_id> introduction paper read <arxiv_id> method paper read <arxiv_id> results paper read <arxiv_id> conclusion

Take structured notes on each paper: problem, method, key results, limitations.

5. Citation Graph Exploration

For seminal papers, find related work:

paper-search semanticscholar citations <paper_id> --limit 20 paper-search semanticscholar references <paper_id> --limit 20

Add any important papers discovered this way back to the triage step.

6. Produce Report

Organize findings by theme, not by paper. Include:

• Overview of the field and its evolution

• Key methods and approaches (with comparisons)

• Main results and findings

• Open questions and future directions

• Complete reference list with paper IDs and URLs

• BibTeX entries for all cited papers (use paper bibtex <arxiv_id> to generate)

Guidelines

• Aim for breadth first: cover all major approaches before going deep on any one.

• Note citation counts and venues to gauge paper impact.

• Flag contradictory findings explicitly.

• Distinguish between empirical results and theoretical claims.
