Generates structured literature survey reports from collected papers using a multi-stage pipeline: outline generation (query-type adaptive) → draft survey → section-by-section expansion → summary section refinement → final assembly. Produces survey-grade output with taxonomy-based method analysis, LaTeX formalizations, comparative tables, and dense citations. Use when: user wants a literature review, research survey, field overview, or systematic synthesis of multiple papers. Do NOT use for…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Research Survey
Generates high-quality, survey-grade literature reviews from papers collected by `paper-navigator`.
```
paper-navigator (collect 30-120 papers)
↓
Stage 1: Generate Outline (query-type adaptive structure)
↓
Stage 2: Draft Survey (outline + top-30 papers)
↓
Stage 3: Expand Sections (draft + all papers, section-by-section)
↓
Stage 4: Generate Section Summaries
↓
Stage 5: Refine Summary Sections (Abstract/Intro/Conclusion)
↓
Stage 6: Assemble + References
```
## When to Use
- User asks for a "literature review", "survey", "field overview", or "systematic review"
- User has collected papers and wants them synthesized into a structured report
- User wants to understand the full landscape of a research field
## When NOT to Use
- **Finding papers** → use `paper-navigator` first, then come here
- **Generating research ideas** → use `research-ideation`
- **Writing a Related Work section for a paper** → use `paper-writing`
## Dependency: paper-navigator
This skill requires papers as input. If the user hasn't provided papers, **first invoke `paper-navigator`** (Workflow 1, target 30-120 papers) to collect them.

How to install
mdr add kalarislabs/skill-doctor/research-survey@sha256:2d547783c85a76daThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
