# Literature Review Skills This is the entry point for the five literature-review skills in this repository. Use it when a user wants help with a literature review but has not yet chosen a specific skill. Route the user to the smallest skill that matches the current stage of work. ## Skill Map 1. `refine-literature-question` - Use when the user has a broad topic and needs a sharp one-sentence review question. 2. `decompose-review-modules` - Use when the user already has a core question and needs 3-5 review modules. 3. `compare-research-methods` - Use when the user needs to justify method choices or compare method routes. 4. `map-literature-contradictions` - Use when the user has conflicting findings, notes, claims, or abstracts and needs a structured synthesis. 5. `locate-review-research-gap` - Use when the user needs to turn the review ending into a concrete research gap or future study direction. ## Source Integrity Before starting any step, ask whether the user has real references (full records, abstracts, or notes). Follow `references/source-integrity.md`: use only sources the user provided or that are verified, tag each with a status (用户提供 / 已核验 / 未核验), and write "未查到" instead of completing authors, year, journal, or pages. If the user has no references yet, say so in the output and give a method framework without literature claims. If that file is not available, still apply these rules.
