synthesize-literature

Purpose

A contract pack for the post-retrieval stages of a literature review. Each task is backed by a methodological prompt and a strict JSON schema. The CLI exposes three commands: list, prompt, schema, and validate.

This skill is a task library for post-retrieval analysis. It answers: how to execute this step correctly. Pipeline orchestration (what to do, in what order) is handled at the agent level.

When to use / When not to use

Use this skill for any post-retrieval step: screening a title/abstract, summarizing an included paper, extracting structured metadata, appraising study quality, or producing a synthesis.
