Systematic Literature Review

Searches arXiv for papers on your topic, extracts structured metadata (research questions, methods, findings, limitations) from each one in parallel using subagents, then synthesizes themes across the full set into a proper report with consistent citations in APA, IEEE, or BibTeX. Handles 20-50 papers at a time. The workflow is explicit about query construction (use 2-3 core keywords, not full topic descriptions) and always sorts by relevance instead of date to avoid off-topic results. If you have one paper to review deeply, route to academic-paper-review instead. This is for breadth-first synthesis when you need to map out what the literature says about transformers, diffusion models, or whatever research area you're trying to get your head around.
