lit-review

Conduct a literature search and deliver a structured scientific briefing. See [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md) for mode-specific guidance. ## On invocation, ask the user 1. **Topic** — what are we searching for? 2. **Mode** — `frame` / `methods` / `interpret` / `landscape` / `synthesize` 3. **Starting point** (optional) — any known papers, authors, or search terms to seed from? ## Search order 1. **Zotero** — existing library first; note what's already there 2. **Consensus** — synthesized search for landscape and key claims 3. **Google Scholar** — seminal works, citation counts, author networks 4. **arxiv / bioRxiv** — recent and unpublished work Stop adding sources once coverage is sufficient for the mode. ## Output structure **1. High-level summary** — 1–2 paragraphs: what the field looks like, what is settled, what is contested. Tag findings as *established / debated / emerging* throughout. **2. Topical review** — key ideas, findings, and debates organized by theme. Apply mode-specific guidance from REFERENCE.md. Distinguish what is well-established, actively debated, and absent. **3. Papers** — for each paper: - Full citation (authors, year, title, journal/venue) - Peer-reviewed or preprint — flag explicitly - Key contribution in 1–2 sentences - Relevance to the current topic and mode **4. Offers** — always prompt: - **Save to `REFERENCES.md`?** — check if it exists and show existing entries first. Append using the template in REFERENCE.md. Never overwrite. - **Add...
