literature-review-agent skillA
literature-review-agent is agent-read markdown (skill) from ar9av/paperorchestra: Step 3 of the PaperOrchestra pipeline (arXiv:2604.05018). Execute the literature search strategy from outline.json — discover candidate papers via web search, verify them through Semantic Scholar (Levenshtein > 70 fuzzy title match, temporal cutoff, dedup by paperId), cross-corroborate against Crossref + OpenAlex to flag hallucinated citations, build a BibTeX file, and draft Introduction + Related Work using ≥90% of the verified pool. Runs in parallel with the plotting-agent. TRIGGER when the or.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Literature Review Agent (Step 3) Faithful implementation of the Hybrid Literature Agent from PaperOrchestra (Song et al., 2026, arXiv:2604.05018, §4 Step 3, App. D.3, App. F.1 p.46). **Cost: ~20–30 LLM calls.** This is one of the two longest steps (the other is plotting). Wall-time floor is set by Semantic Scholar's 1 QPS verification limit. ## Inputs - `workspace/outline.json` — specifically `intro_related_work_plan` with the Introduction search directions and the 2-4 Related Work methodology clusters - `workspace/inputs/conference_guidelines.md` — used to derive `cutoff_date` - `workspace/inputs/idea.md`, `workspace/inputs/experimental_log.md` — for framing the Intro and grounding the Related Work positioning ## Outputs - `workspace/citation_pool.json` — verified Semantic Scholar metadata for every paper that survived verification - `workspace/refs.bib` — BibTeX file generated from the verified pool - `workspace/drafts/intro_relwork.tex` — drafted Introduction and Related Work sections, written into the template, with the rest of the template preserved verbatim ## Two-phase pipeline (App. D.3) ``` PHASE 1 — Parallel Candidate Discovery …

How to install
mdr add ar9av/paperorchestra/literature-review-agent@git:20260921.e2940d6mdr add ar9av/paperorchestra/literature-review-agent@sha256:ce587cdc33300a18Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
