Survey prompts (outline, writing, citation, coherence): ~/.claude/skills/survey generation/references/survey prompts.md
Workflow (from AutoSurvey)
Step 1: Collect Papers
1. Search Semantic Scholar / arXiv for papers on the topic
2. Collect 50 200 relevant papers with titles and abstracts
3. Filter by relevance and citation count
Step 2: Generate Outline (Multi LLM Parallel)
1. Generate N rough outlines independently (parallel)
2. Merge outlines into a single comprehensive outline
3. Expand each section into subsections
4. Edit final outline to remove redundancies
Step 3: Write Subsections (RAG Based)
For each subsection:
1. Retrieve relevant papers for the subsection topic
2. Generate content with inline citations [paper title]
3. Enforce minimum word count per subsection
4. Only cite papers from the provided list
Step 4: Validate Citations
For each subsection:
1. Check that cited paper titles are correct
2. Verify citations support the claims made
3. Remove or correct unsupported citations
4. Use NLI (Natural Language Inference) for claim source faithfulness
Step 5: Enhance Local Coherence
For each subsection:
1. Read previous and following subsections
2. Refine transitions and flow
3. Preserve core content and citations
4. Ensure smooth reading experience
Step 6: Convert Citations to BibTeX
1. Replace [paper title] with \cite{key}
2. Generate BibTeX entries for all cited papers
3. Validate all citation keys exist in .bib file
Output Structure
Rules
Only cite papers from the collected paper list — never hallucinate citations
Each subsection must meet minimum word count
No duplicate subsections across sections
Citation validation is mandatory before final output
Local coherence enhancement must preserve all citations
The survey should be comprehensive and logically organized
