Run a literature review using paper search and primary-source synthesis. Use when the user asks for a lit review, paper survey, state of the art, publication-corpus review of a lab/PI/author, or academic landscape summary on a research topic.
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 Investigate the user's topic, lab, PI, or author as a literature review. Derive a short slug from the topic (lowercase, hyphens, no filler words, ≤5 words). Use this slug for all files in this run. ## Tools (Claude Code) - Web search: `WebSearch`. Fetch pages: `WebFetch`. - 证据分级与全文核验义务见 `../shared-references/full-text-verification-policy.md`（承重声明必须 full-text 级；arxiv MCP 的 `[pdf]` 为可选依赖，失败降级 alphaxiv，再降级只产出 fragment 级证据）。 - Academic papers, backend priority with auto-degradation (record the probe result in provenance): (1) `alphaxiv` MCP tools (`discover_papers`, `get_paper_content`, `answer_pdf_queries`, `read_files_from_github_repository`) when visible and healthy — on 401/403 immediately stop retrying and drop to (2); (2) **arxiv MCP (primary, keyless)** — `mcp__arxiv__search_papers` / `download_paper` / `read_paper` / `search_paper_text` for systematic search and full-text claim verification; (3) fallback: WebSearch/WebFetch on arxiv.org, degradation explicitly noted in provenance. - Subagents: the `Agent` tool with `subagent_type` `researcher` / `verifier` / `reviewer`. Spawn parallel researchers in one message. Real output goes to files. ## Workflow …

How to install
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/literature-review@sha256:b78151b65ab2dc10The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.70e1643, 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.
