Conduct a systematic literature review on an academic topic. Use when the user asks for a literature review, survey, or systematic overview of a research area.

Conduct a systematic literature review on "$ARGUMENTS" using the paper and paper search CLI tools. 1. Define Scope Before searching, clarify with the user: Topic boundaries and key terms Year range (default: last 5 years) Target venues or communities (if any) Desired number of papers (default: 15 20 core papers) 2. Multi Query Search Search with multiple query variations to maximize coverage: Deduplicate results by title/paper ID. 3. Triage For each unique paper found: Categorize as: highly relevant / somewhat relevant / not relevant . 4. Deep Analysis For highly relevant papers: Take structured notes on each paper: problem, method, key results, limitations. 5. Citation Graph Exploration For seminal papers, find related work: Add any important papers discovered this way back to the triage step. 6. Produce Report Organize findings by theme, not by paper . Include: Overview of the field and its evolution Key methods and approaches (with comparisons) Main results and findings Open questions and future directions Complete reference list with paper IDs and URLs BibTeX entries for all cited papers (use paper bibtex <arxiv id to generate) Guidelines Aim for breadth first: cover all major approaches before going deep on any one. Note citation counts and venues to gauge paper impact. Flag contradictory findings explicitly. Distinguish between empirical results and theoretical claims.
