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…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ar9av/paperorchestra/literature-review-agent@sha256:95a188773161f151

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.e8f1375, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
