For researchers: go from scattered papers to a synthesized, citation-clean academic draft.
For grad students, academics, and research analysts who need defensible writing, not just notes. Reach for this when you have a pile of papers and a deadline: run a formal PRISMA review or a narrative synthesis, pin down themes and gaps, verify every claim and citation, then ship a thesis-driven essay or brief that survives peer review. The full path from literature to a draft you can defend.

Runs a PRISMA-compliant systematic review from PICO question and pre-registered protocol through search strings, two-stage screening, risk-of-bias appraisal, and GRADE-rated synthesis. Use when someone asks "run a systematic review", "build my search strategy and inclusion criteria", "screen these studies against a protocol", or "meta-analyze the evidence on X". Do NOT use for a thematic narrative review of a field without a registered protocol and exhaustive search - use literature-review instead. Do NOT use for synthesizing mixed non-study sources into decision themes - use research-synthesis instead.
View skillProduces a thematic literature review that organizes a field into an argument - consensus, disputes, evidence quality, and the open gap the reader should care about. Use when someone asks "write my related-work section", "review the literature on X", "what does the research say about X", or "organize these papers into themes". Do NOT use for an exhaustive, protocol-registered review with formal inclusion criteria and risk-of-bias appraisal - use systematic-review instead. Do NOT use for synthesizing interviews or mixed non-academic sources into decision themes - use research-synthesis instead.
