Review-Paper Skill

The review-article counterpart to write-paper (original research). For reviewing someone else's review article, use /peer-review or /self-review (the RV1-RV9 probes) instead.

Step 0 — Format + spine axis (the structure-determining choice)

1. Confirm format with the user: narrative (SANRA) | scoping (PRISMA-ScR + JBI) | systematic (PRISMA 2020). This decides the reporting guideline and the registration path.
2. Choose the spine axis — the single most consequential decision: organize the body by modality (e.g. 2D → 3D), by task (generation / QA / deployment), or by lifecycle stage. Every body section then follows this one axis; mixing axes is the most common structural failure.
3. Require a scope statement + non-overlap boundary against prior/adjacent reviews — this pre-empts the reviewer's first question, "why another review on this?" (user-approval checkpoint: confirm the boundary with the user before scaffolding).

Step 1 — Scaffold the macro skeleton for the format
