Related Work Survey Agent Skill
> Conducts a systematic related-work / literature-survey / state-of-the-art review for a research question by defining survey dimensions, searching each axis, building a taxonomy of prior work, identifying the gap, and producing a positioning narrative for a paper's Related Work section. Goes beyond a flat paper list to deliver structured analysis. Use when the user is starting a new research project and needs to map the landscape, asks "what's been done on X?" or "how does my idea compare to existing work?", needs to write or revise a Related Work / Background / Prior Art section, wants to identify a research gap or position their contribution, or asks to build a taxonomy of approaches in a research area.

Access USPTO APIs for patent/trademark searches, examination history (PEDS), assignments, citations, office actions, TSDR, for IP analysis and prior art searches.
Multiagent AI system for scientific research assistance that automates research workflows from data analysis to publication. This skill should be used when generating research ideas from datasets, developing research methodologies, executing computational experiments, performing literature searches, or generating publication-ready papers in LaTeX format. Supports end-to-end research pipelines with customizable agent orchestration.
Automated LLM-driven hypothesis generation and testing on tabular datasets. Use when you want to systematically explore hypotheses about patterns in empirical data (e.g., deception detection, content analysis). Combines literature insights with data-driven hypothesis testing. For manual hypothesis formulation use hypothesis-generation; for creative ideation use scientific-brainstorming.
