related-work-survey

Conducts a systematic related-work / literature-survey / state-of-the-art review for a research question by defining survey dimensions, searching each axis, building a taxonomy of prior work, identifying the gap, and producing a positioning narrative for a paper's Related Work section. Goes beyond a flat paper list to deliver structured analysis. Use when the user is starting a new research project and needs to map the landscape, asks "what's been done on X?" or "how does my idea compare to existing work?", needs to write or revise a Related Work / Background / Prior Art section, wants to identify a research gap or position their contribution, or asks to build a taxonomy of approaches in a research area.
