What this skill does
What it does:
- Guides you through searching, screening, and organizing academic papers on a topic
- Helps you build a search plan with specific databases, date ranges, and keywords

- Rates how confident you are in each finding based on the quality and number of sources
When to use it:

- You want to understand the current state of knowledge on a topic
- You need to find gaps or disagreements in what researchers have published
- You are doing a systematic review where you must show exactly how you searched and chose papers
- You want to compare evidence across peer-reviewed papers, preprints, patents, and technical reports
