Identify 5 research questions the corpus does NOT fully answer — and for each: why the gap persists, which paper comes closest, what methodology would fill it. Trigger when the user mentions research gaps, unanswered questions, what's missing, ช่องว่างวิจัย, gap analysis, frontier of the field, or planning a new study. Phase 4 of the litreview-* series.

From the source SKILL.md
