What this skill tells the agent
Obsidian Literature Workflow
This skill owns the project literature workflow.
Main flow
Sources/Papers/ -> Knowledge/ -> Writing/ -> Maps/literature.canvasDefault outputs
Sources/Papers/{paper-slug}.mdKnowledge/Literature Overview.mdKnowledge/Method Taxonomy.mdKnowledge/Research Gaps.mdKnowledge/Claim Map.mdWriting/related-work-draft.mdonly after promoted claims pass the evidence gateWriting/comparison-matrix.mdonly after promoted claims pass the evidence gateMaps/literature.canvas
Rules
- paper notes stay under
Sources/Papers/ - literature synthesis does not live inside source notes
- every synthesis note must link its supporting source notes
- every research gap must carry evidence
- every promoted claim must carry an Evidence Record ID, source type, claim strength, allowed wording, and forbidden stronger wording when it may flow into writing or rebuttal
- weak paper notes, abstract-only pages, and webpage placeholders may update coverage or
To-Read, but they cannot supportKnowledgeorWritingconclusions - default graph output is
Maps/literature.canvas - do not generate extra canvases unless explicitly requested
