version: "1.0.0" name: student-literature description: Build a strong literature map with baselines, gaps, and concrete research opportunities.

Student Literature

Student-specific extensions

• End with Recommended Baselines that names the first baseline to implement.
• Add Reviewer concerns to pre-empt with the two highest-risk objections.
• Check shared-references/citation-discipline.md before publishing.

Purpose

Survey existing work on a given topic to establish baselines, identify gaps, and inform hypothesis formulation.

Workflow

1. Define scope: What specific question or area are you surveying?
2. Search: Use web search to find relevant papers, blog posts, and codebases
3. Read and summarize: Extract key contributions, methods, results, and limitations
4. Synthesize: Identify themes, gaps, and opportunities
5. Publish: Write structured output to your canonical shared artifact directory: {artifact_dir}/{your-name}/literature_{topic}.md

Tips

• Focus on papers from the last 3 years for ML/AI topics
• Always note the evaluation metrics used — we'll need to match them
• Flag any available open-source implementations
• Note dataset availability for reproducibility
