Literature Review
Overview
Conduct systematic, comprehensive literature reviews following rigorous academic methodology. Search multiple literature databases, synthesize findings thematically, verify all citations for accuracy, and generate professional output documents in markdown and PDF formats.
This skill integrates with multiple scientific skills for database access (gget, bioservices, datacommons-client) and provides specialized tools for citation verification, result aggregation, and document generation.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Conducting a systematic literature review for research or publication
- Synthesizing current knowledge on a specific topic across multiple sources
- Performing meta-analysis or scoping reviews
- Writing the literature review section of a research paper or thesis
- Investigating the state of the art in a research domain
- Identifying research gaps and future directions
- Requiring verified citations and professional formatting

pymol
Control PyMOL molecular visualization through Claude Code. Use when asked to "visualize protein", "render structure", "show cartoon", "color by chain", "ray trace", "set up pymol", "install pymol", or work with molecular graphics. Handles setup, visualization commands, and publication-quality figure generation.
40uniprot-database
Query and retrieve protein sequences, annotations, and functional data from UniProt. Supports text search, ID mapping between databases, batch downloads, and access to Swiss-Prot (reviewed) and TrEMBL (predicted) entries.
29rdkit
Python cheminformatics library for molecular manipulation and analysis. Parse SMILES/SDF/MOL formats, compute descriptors (MW, LogP, TPSA), generate fingerprints (Morgan, MACCS), perform substructure queries with SMARTS, create 2D/3D geometries, calculate similarity, and run chemical reactions.
28biorxiv-database
Search and retrieve preprints from bioRxiv. Use when asked to "search bioRxiv", "find preprints", "look up bioRxiv papers", or retrieve life sciences literature.
28scikit-bio
Python bioinformatics library for sequence manipulation, alignments, phylogenetics, diversity metrics (Shannon, UniFrac), ordination (PCoA, CCA), statistical tests (PERMANOVA, Mantel), and biological file format I/O.
28pdb-database
Query and retrieve protein/nucleic acid structures from RCSB PDB. Use when you need to search the PDB database for structures or metadata. Supports text, sequence, and structure-based searches, coordinate downloads, and metadata retrieval for structural biology workflows.
