Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep comm-lit-review-claude-single

Communications-domain literature review with Claude-style knowledge-base-first retrieval. Use when the task is about communications, wireless, networking, satellite/NTN, Wi-Fi, cellular, transport protocols, congestion control, routing, scheduling, MAC/PHY, rate adaptation, channel estimation, beamforming, or communication-system research and the user wants papers, related work, a survey, or a landscape summary. Search Zotero, Obsidian, and local paper folders first when available, then search IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, ACM Digital Library, and broader web in that order.

Comm Lit Review Claude Single

Research topic: $ARGUMENTS

Purpose

Use this skill for communications-domain literature review when the topic is about:

wireless communications
cellular systems,
```
4G/5G/6G
```
,
```
NR
```
,
```
NTN
```
satellite,
```
LEO
```
,
```
GEO
```
, integrated space-air-ground systems
Wi-Fi, WLAN, mesh, ad hoc, sidelink, V2X
routing, scheduling, resource allocation, beamforming
rate adaptation, link adaptation,
```
ACM
```
,
```
HARQ
```
,
```
CSI
```
feedback
transport protocols and congestion control in communication networks
cross-layer optimization for communication systems

If the center of gravity is generic ML architecture research, pure control theory without communications literature, or software/API documentation rather than papers, fall back to a general literature skill.

MAX_LOCAL_PAPERS = 20: Maximum number of local PDFs to scan. If there are more, prioritize by filename and first-page relevance.

Source Selection

Parse

$ARGUMENTS

for a

— sources:

directive.

If
```
— sources:

is specified, only search the listed sources.

If not specified, default to:

```
zotero
```
```
obsidian
```
```
local
```
```
ieee
```
```
sciencedirect
```
```

```

Valid source values:

```

```
```

```
ieee
```
```
sciencedirect
```
```
acm
```
```
web
```
```
all
```

all

is specified, interpret it as the full default source set.

Retrieval Order

This is a knowledge-base-first skill. Search in this order unless the user overrides it:

```
Zotero
```
```
Obsidian
```
local
```
papers/
```
and
```
literature/
```
```
IEEE Xplore
```
```
ScienceDirect
```
```
ACM Digital Library
```
broader web

Graceful degradation rules:

If a source is unavailable, do not fail.
Skip it silently.
Continue to the next source.

External Search Policy

For external search:

prefer
```
IEEE Xplore
```
first
then
```
ScienceDirect
```
then
```
ACM
```
then broader web only when needed

Publication policy:

prefer peer-reviewed journals and major conferences
label workshop papers as
```
workshop
```
label arXiv-only or author-hosted versions as
```
preprint
```
if both preprint and formal version exist, cite the formal version first

Time-window policy:

if the user does not specify a year range, include both a short foundational set and a recent set
recommended split:
- ```
foundational
```
  : before 2022
- ```
recent
```
  : 2022 to present

Venue Priority

Within each database tier, search venue tiers in this order.

Tier A

Journals:

IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC)

IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (ToN)

IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications (TWC)

IEEE Transactions on Communications (TCOM)

Conferences:

```
ACM SIGCOMM
```
```
USENIX NSDI
```
```
ACM MobiCom
```
```
ACM CoNEXT
```
```
IEEE INFOCOM
```

Tier B

Journals:

IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (TVT)

IEEE Wireless Communications Letters (WCL)

```
IEEE Communications Letters
```
```
Computer Networks
```
```
Computer Communications
```
```
Ad Hoc Networks
```
```
Physical Communication
```

Conferences:

```
IEEE ICC
```
```
IEEE GLOBECOM
```
```
IEEE WCNC
```
```
IEEE PIMRC
```
```
ACM MobiHoc
```

Tier C

other relevant IEEE journals and transactions
other relevant Elsevier journals
other clearly relevant ACM conferences and workshops
topic-specific satellite, optical, vehicular, IoT, aerial, or edge communications venues

Usage rules:

start from Tier A
widen to Tier B if needed
widen to Tier C if still sparse
only then broaden to full web search
by default this is a soft priority, not a hard whitelist

if the user says

only top venues

top journals only

, or

top conferences only

, treat Tier A as a hard filter

Workflow

Step 0a: Search Zotero Library

Skip this step if Zotero MCP is not configured or

zotero

is not enabled.

If available:

search by topic
capture title, authors, year, venue
pull user annotations, tags, or collections when present
treat these as high-priority evidence because they reflect the user's existing library

Step 0b: Search Obsidian Vault

Skip this step if Obsidian MCP is not configured or

obsidian

is not enabled.

If available:

search topic-related notes
collect summaries, wikilinks, tags, and paper references
treat these notes as the user's processed understanding of the topic

Step 0c: Scan Local Paper Library

Run this step if

local

is enabled.

locate PDFs from
```
papers/**/*.pdf
```
and
```
literature/**/*.pdf
```
de-duplicate against Zotero hits when possible
read the first pages of relevant PDFs
extract title, authors, year, problem, method, and relevance
use local hits to guide and de-duplicate later external search

Step 1: Search External Primary Sources

Use a layered search strategy. For communications topics, avoid random blog posts or tertiary summaries.

Database ladder:

```
ieeexplore.ieee.org
```
```
sciencedirect.com
```
```
dl.acm.org
```
broader web using primary publisher pages, official conference sites, DOI pages, and author-hosted copies of already-identified formal papers

Move to the next database tier only when:

the higher-priority tier is too sparse
the topic clearly publishes elsewhere
the user explicitly asks for broader coverage

Within each database tier:

start from Tier A venues
widen to Tier B if needed
widen to Tier C if still sparse

Step 2: Extract Paper-Level Facts

For each relevant paper, capture:

Title
Authors
Year
Venue
Layer or system scope
Scenario and assumptions
Core method
Main result or claim
Limitation
Relevance to the user's topic
Source URL

Source origin:

zotero

obsidian

local

ieee

sciencedirect

acm

, or

web

Favor concrete numbers, assumptions, and problem definitions over generic paraphrases.

Do not collapse transport-layer rate control and PHY/MAC rate adaptation into one bucket without saying so explicitly.

Synthesis Rules

Group papers by technical axis rather than by search order. Common groupings:

```
PHY/MAC
```
adaptation
transport and congestion control
```
NTN
```
and satellite resource management
cross-layer or learning-based control
measurement and empirical studies

When useful, explicitly separate:

foundational vs recent work
formal publications vs preprints
top-tier vs lower-tier venues
single-link vs multi-user formulations
simulation-only vs deployment-backed work
user-owned sources vs newly surfaced external papers

If evidence is weak, say so instead of smoothing it over.

Output

Use a literature table with these columns:

Paper	Venue	Year	Layer	Scenario	Method	Key Result	Limitation	Relevance	Source

Source

should indicate where the paper came from first:

```
zotero
```
```
obsidian
```
```
local
```
```
ieee
```
```
sciencedirect
```
```
acm
```
```
web
```

After the table, summarize in this order:

what the field is mostly trying to solve
how papers cluster into
```
2-4
```
approaches
what the user already had vs what was newly surfaced
where the evidence is strong vs weak
what research gap remains

End with

Practical Takeaway

dominant current approach
likely saturated direction
promising open direction

Key Rules

Never fail because Zotero or Obsidian MCP is missing.
Prefer user-owned sources first when available, but do not let them replace external validation.
Prefer primary formal sources over summaries or tertiary commentary.
Prefer
```
IEEE
```
and
```
ScienceDirect
```
first,
```
ACM
```
second, and only then broader web search unless the user asks otherwise.
Search venue tiers from top to broad within each database tier.
Treat venue tiers as soft ranking by default and hard constraint only when the user explicitly asks for top-only search.
Do not pretend a preprint is peer reviewed.
If the topic spans multiple layers, say that the literature itself is split across layers.
