Build a literature review as an argument from paper-reader notes: cluster the notes into themes, surface agreements, tensions, and methodological patterns, locate the gap the thesis fills, and draft the review chapter so that each paragraph advances a claim rather than summarising one paper. Every citation comes from the notes and the .bib. Use when the reading is done and the related-work or background chapter needs writing, or when a draft review reads like an annotated bibliography.
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
A literature review is an argument that ends in the gap. It is not a sequence of "Smith (2023) did X. Jones (2024) did Y." Every paragraph makes a point about the field, and papers appear as evidence for that point. This skill works only from `paper-reader` notes so that every sentence about a paper is traceable. ## Inputs 1. `research/notes/*.md` (the notes; refuse to proceed with fewer than five, and say why). 2. `research/QUESTION.md` (the research question the review must lead to). 3. `references.bib` (keys must match note front matter). 4. Target length and the department's expected structure, if any. ## Step 1: build the evidence matrix Read every note and tabulate, in `research/evidence-matrix.md`: | key | year | type | setting | method | main finding | limitation | relevance | themes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | The `themes` column is filled in Step 2. This table is a thesis artifact in its own right (appendix material) and lets the student see the field at a glance. ## Step 2: find the structure …

How to install
mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/lit-review-synthesis@sha256:bee3204f374d636bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.3cfc2b3, 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.
