name: literature-review-synthesis description: "Cluster papers by claim, evaluate evidence quality, surface contrasts and gaps."

Literature review synthesis

• Group hits by claim, not by paper: which papers say X, which say not-X, which side-step it.
• Score each cluster by evidence quality: theorem with proof > simulation > anecdote.
• Call out contradictions explicitly; do not paper over them.
• Flag gaps — questions the literature avoids — as candidate research directions.
• Save the synthesis as /agent-filesystem/research/<slug>/lit-review.md with one section per cluster and inline citation keys.
