survey-generation — Claude Code skill: literature survey in LaTeX

What survey-generation does

The skill produces a full academic survey rather than a pile of abstracts. It starts by finding papers on the topic, drafts several outlines independently, merges them, splits sections into subsections, and writes each one against the retrieved papers. Sources go in as [paper_title] and later become \cite{key} entries with a generated .bib file.

Citation checking is a required stage, not an option. Titles are matched, each claim is tested against its source, and unsupported references get dropped or fixed; the workflow calls for natural language inference here. Coherence comes last: every subsection sees its neighbours and has its transitions reworked, with citations left intact. Only papers from the collected list may be cited, which is what keeps invented references out of the draft.

Output lands in a survey/ folder: main.tex, references.bib, outline.json plus per-section files under sections/. The paper search runs through a script that lives in the deep-research skill, so that one has to sit alongside it in ~/.claude/skills/. Collection and filtering happen in the terminal, not in the chat window.
