Automated Literature Review: 3 Skill Categories from Search to Draft

From search to draft · Full end-to-end automation

1-second copy command · Agent auto-installs · Free, no extra quota

"Writing literature reviews by hand is exhausting"

"Every day I open arXiv, see a pile of paper titles and abstracts. The hardest part isn't not understanding them, but not knowing which one is worth reading carefully. So I built an open-source Chrome extension: arXivMate, which lets you chat with papers directly on the arxiv page."

"How do you always track and filter the most cutting-edge, highest-quality LLM papers? Tips for filtering papers on arXiv: since arXiv updates massively every day, you need an efficient filtering mechanism."

"Recently I was scrolling through arxiv papers and kept hitting papers from the same group. The quality gap is enormous. The first two barely qualify as technical reports; P1 could be churned out with a few prompts."

These real voices scattered across X, Reddit, rednote, Github... capture the daily pain points researchers face across the full literature review workflow.

Install deep-skill-finder once, let your Agent find review Skills on its own
Your literature review tasks (arXiv search, review auto-generation, search strategy) all have matching Skills on Meyo. But you don't need to find them one by one—after installing deep-skill-finder, your Agent automatically searches Meyo's 50,000+ Skill library and recommends the Skills that match your current task. From search to draft, fully automated.
Copy the command, paste it to Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / WorkBuddy, and your Agent handles installation:
请安装 deep-skill-finder 技能:从 https://www.meyo.life/skill-finder 下载技能压缩包,解压到本地技能目录并启用。

FAQ

Q: Can automated literature review Skills fully replace manual writing?
A: Not fully, but they dramatically improve efficiency. literature-survey-generator can auto-search academic databases, download PDFs, build BibTeX, and draft LaTeX surveys. You still need to review and refine the final content. What it handles is the mechanical work from search to first draft.
Q: Are these Skills free? Do they consume extra Agent quota?
A: These Skills are free and open source. Skills themselves do not consume quota. Only when your Agent executes a Skill does it use your existing API allowance. Compared to hand-writing prompts, Skills actually save tokens because the instruction structure is already optimized.
Q: I don't use Claude Code, I use Codex / Cursor. Can I still install these Skills?
A: Yes. These Skills are cross-Agent neutral by design. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and WorkBuddy can all install them. The process is the same: download the zip from meyo.life/community/skills, extract it to your Agent's Skill directory, and you're done.
Q: Can the multi-agent generated LaTeX survey be compiled directly?
A: literature-survey-generator produces complete LaTeX survey structures with BibTeX citations that can typically be compiled directly. We recommend checking citation formats and database coverage, and supplementing key references based on your research domain.
Q: How does the academic search strategy Skill improve my search efficiency?
A: academic-search-strategy-playbook recommends appropriate academic databases based on your research topic, analyzes paper abstracts, and helps build a literature review framework. It prevents you from wasting time on the wrong databases and improves search precision from the source.
Q: I don't want to install deep-skill-finder. Can I manually install just one review Skill?
A: Absolutely. Each Skill card above has a "Copy Command" button. Just copy and paste it to your Agent to install. deep-skill-finder simply lets your Agent "find Skills on its own" going forward; it's not a prerequisite.
