# literature-search output preview
## PART A: Task fit
- Use case: Systematic literature review methodology including search strategy, screening, and synthesis. Use when conducting literature reviews or writing background sections. runs entirely locally. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and 23 more..
- Inputs: target material, constraints, expected output, and acceptance criteria.
- Evidence boundary: follow “Literature Search Best Practice / Search Strategy Design / Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria” and do not present inference as author intent.
## PART B: Execution result
- **01** The card summarizes the use case; runtime output centers on “Systematic literature review methodology including search strategy, screening, and synthesis. Use when conducting literature reviews or writing background sections. runs entirely locally. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and 23 more.”.
- **02** When the source has headings, the agent prioritizes “Literature Search Best Practice / Search Strategy Design / Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria” so the result follows the author’s structure.
- **03** Typical output includes task judgment, concrete steps, required commands or file edits, validation, and follow-up options.
- **04** Risk context follows the fingerprint: read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
## Running Rules
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding scope.
- Return the result, validation criteria, and next iteration options. The source does not require a stable slash command. After installation, invoke the skill by name and describe the task.
Name target files or source material, expected output, forbidden changes, and whether network or shell access is allowed. Permission fingerprint: read files, write/modify files.
Start with a small task and check whether the result follows “Literature Search Best Practice / Search Strategy Design / Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria”. Inspect diffs, logs, previews, or tests before expanding scope.
Confirm the final output includes a concrete result, evidence, and next action. If it stays generic, tighten inputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria.

# literature-search
## When to use
- Systematic literature review methodology including search strategy, screening, and synthesis. Use when conducting lite…
- Use it when the task has clear inputs, repeatable steps, and validation criteria.
## What to provide
- Target material, scope, expected result, and forbidden changes.
- Whether network, commands, file writes, or external services are allowed.
## Execution rules
- Organize steps around “Literature Search Best Practice / Search Strategy Design / Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria” and keep inference separate from source facts.
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding the task.
## Output requirements
- Return the deliverable, key evidence, validation method, and next action.
- Mark missing information as unknown; do not invent commands, platforms, or dependencies. The author source anchors workflow facts; repository files anchor sources and commands; Fluxly only adds fit, limitations, and quality judgment.
skill "literature-search" {
input -> user goal + target files + boundaries + acceptance criteria
context -> Literature Search Best Practice / Search Strategy Design / Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
rules -> SKILL.md triggers / order / output contract
runtime -> no special runtime | read files, write/modify files | mostly runs locally
guardrails -> usually needs no extra API key + small-sample validation + diff/log review
output -> copyable result + checklist + next iteration
} Literature Search Best Practice
Search Strategy Design
- Define research question using PICO framework (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome)
- Identify 2-4 core concepts from the research question
- List synonyms, abbreviations, and related terms for each concept
- Combine terms with Boolean operators: AND (between concepts), OR (within synonyms)
- Select at least 3 complementary databases relevant to the domain:
- Biomedical: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science
- Computer science: arXiv, Semantic Scholar, DBLP, ACL Anthology
- Interdisciplinary: Google Scholar, OpenAlex
- Document exact search strings for reproducibility
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
- Define date range (e.g., last 5-10 years for rapidly evolving fields)
- Specify language restrictions (typically English)
- Specify publication types (peer-reviewed, preprints, conference papers)
- Define study design requirements (RCTs, observational, computational)
- Set domain-specific filters (species, methodology, sample size)
- Document all criteria BEFORE screening begins
PRISMA Methodology
- Record total hits from each database before deduplication
- Remove duplicates and record count
- Screen titles and abstracts against inclusion criteria (record excluded count)
- Full-text review of remaining papers (record excluded with reasons)
- Report final included studies with PRISMA flow diagram
- For scoping reviews, use PRISMA-ScR extension
Screening and Quality Assessment
- Use two-pass screening: title/abstract first, then full text
- Apply quality assessment tools appropriate to study type:
- RCTs: Cochrane Risk of Bias tool
- Observational: Newcastle-Ottawa Scale
- ML papers: check reproducibility, dataset validity, statistical rigor
- Extract data systematically using a predefined extraction form
Synthesis Approaches
- Narrative synthesis: Organize findings thematically, identify patterns and contradictions
- Meta-analysis: Pool quantitative results when studies are sufficiently homogeneous
- Gap analysis: Explicitly identify what is NOT covered in the literature
- Summarize key findings per theme with supporting citation counts
- Highlight conflicting results and possible explanations
- End with clear statement of research gaps that motivate your study
