Direct PubMed and NCBI E-utilities search workflows for biomedical literature, MeSH queries, PMID lookup, citation retrieval, and API-backed literature monitoring.
Guidance for conducting PhD-level systematic literature reviews according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) standards. Covers protocol development, search string optimization, screening processes, and data extraction.
Conducts systematic literature reviews with academic rigor. Use when you need to understand existing research on a topic, identify research gaps, trace the evolution of ideas, or build a comprehensive bibliography. Triggers on phrases like "literature review", "what does research say", "find papers on", "academic sources for", "systematic review of".
Conduct comprehensive, systematic literature reviews using multiple academic databases (PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, etc.). This skill should be used when conducting systematic literature reviews, meta-analyses, research synthesis, or comprehensive literature searches across biomedical, scientific, and technical domains. Creates professionally formatted markdown documents and PDFs with verified citations in multiple citation styles (APA, Nature, Vancouver, etc.).
Evaluate scientific claims and evidence quality. Use for assessing experimental design validity, identifying biases and confounders, applying evidence grading frameworks (GRADE, Cochrane Risk of Bias), or teaching critical analysis. Best for understanding evidence quality, identifying flaws. For formal peer review writing use peer-review.
Direct REST API access to PubMed. Advanced Boolean/MeSH queries, E-utilities API, batch processing, citation management. For Python workflows, prefer biopython (Bio.Entrez). Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or custom API implementations.
