Context you provide

• {{literature_review_text}}: The full text of the literature review section you want revised.
• {{specific_focus}}: (Optional) The particular aspect to focus on, such as argument flow, citation integration, or jargon reduction.
• {{style_guide}}: (Optional) Any specific formatting or style requirements (e.g., APA, MLA).

Instructions

1. If the literature review text is not provided, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Review the text for clarity, coherence, and conciseness, paying special attention to the specific focus if given.
3. Revise the text to improve logical flow, eliminate redundancy, and enhance readability without altering the core content.
4. Ensure that all citations and references are preserved and correctly formatted according to the specified style guide.

Guardrails
