Module: Literature Review Synthesis

Purpose: review the Related Work section as an analytical conversation, not a citation list.

uv run python -B scripts/analyze_literature.py main.typ --section related

Core Checks

• A1: Enumeration — repeated author/year listing instead of theme clustering.
• A2: Comparative synthesis — missing sentences on trade-offs, differences, or shared limitations.
• A3: Gap derivation — no literature-backed unresolved limitation near the end of the section.

Recommended Rewrite Chain

Consensus -> Disagreement -> Limitations -> Gap -> This paper

Use the chain above when proposing edits:

1. summarize what multiple papers agree on
2. surface one disagreement or trade-off
3. isolate the remaining limitation
4. turn that limitation into an evidence-backed gap
5. connect the gap to the present paper

Boundaries

• Keep @cite, <label>, and math intact unless the user explicitly asks for source edits.
• Do not force a gap when the cited evidence is too thin or contradictory.
• Prefer diagnosis + rewrite blueprint before generating new prose.
