# Research Literature Review Research topic: $ARGUMENTS ## Constants - **PAPER_LIBRARY** — Local directory containing user's paper collection (PDFs). Check these paths in order: 1. `papers/` in the current project directory 2. `literature/` in the current project directory 3. Custom path specified by user in `AGENTS.md` under `## Paper Library` - **MAX_LOCAL_PAPERS = 20** — Maximum number of local PDFs to scan (read first 3 pages each). If more are found, prioritize by filename relevance to the topic. - **ARXIV_DOWNLOAD = false** — When `true`, download top 3-5 most relevant arXiv PDFs to PAPER_LIBRARY after search. When `false` (default), only fetch metadata (title, abstract, authors) via arXiv API — no files are downloaded. - **ARXIV_MAX_DOWNLOAD = 5** — Maximum number of PDFs to download when `ARXIV_DOWNLOAD = true`. > 💡 Overrides: > - `/research-lit "topic" — paper library: ~/my_papers/` — custom local PDF path > - `/research-lit "topic" — sources: zotero, local` — only search Zotero + local PDFs > - `/research-lit "topic" — sources: zotero` — only search Zotero > - `/research-lit "topic" — sources: web` — only search the web (skip all local) > - `/research-lit "topic" — arxiv download: true` — download top relevant arXiv PDFs > - `/research-lit "topic" — arxiv download: true, max download: 10` — download up to 10 PDFs ## Data Sources This skill checks multiple sources **in priority order**. All are optional — if a source is not configured or not requested, s...
