13 Claude prompts grad students use to turn a 60-page paper into a lit review

@bigaiguy shares a set of 13 Claude prompts aimed at grad students, claiming they turn a 60-page paper into a literature review, counterarguments, and research questions in minutes.
Highlights across the research workflow:
- Instant literature review: paste abstract + intro, map 5 key claims, prior work, and gaps;
- Steel Man: build the strongest case for the paper's weakest argument to spot reviewer pushback early;
- Counterargument generator: act as a skeptical peer reviewer with 5 specific methodological objections;
- Research gap finder: list 7 unresolved questions from the limitations section;
- Notes synthesizer: extract common threads, contradictions, and a synthesis claim from messy notes;
- Concept explainer and research question generator for methods and topic selection.
Note: the "secret Research Accelerator mode" framing is clickbait — it's really just a reusable academic prompt workflow.
