citation-graph skillA
citation-graph is agent-read markdown (skill) from khaledsaeed18/dotclaude: Expand a set of key papers into the literature around them by walking the citation graph with the Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex APIs: backward (references), forward (citing works), and co-citation, scored by how many seeds connect to each candidate, so the papers a reviewer will expect are found even when keyword search misses them. Use after literature-search has found the first key papers, when a supervisor names one seminal paper, or when checking that a related-work chapter has not missed a .
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
Keyword search finds papers that use your words; the citation graph finds papers that share your problem. Starting from a few papers known to be central, the works they cite and the works that cite them, weighted by how many seeds agree, surface the field's structure and its recent edge. ## Inputs Seeds: DOIs, arXiv ids, Semantic Scholar ids, or `.bib` keys (resolved through `references.bib`). Three to eight seeds work best; one seed gives a star, not a graph. Options: `--depth` (1: neighbours of seeds; 2: neighbours of the strongest first-degree candidates; default 1), `--min-links` (minimum seed connections to keep a candidate; default 2), `--since YEAR` for the forward direction. ## Procedure 1. **Resolve seeds** to Semantic Scholar paper ids: `curl -s "https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/DOI:<doi>?fields=paperId,title,year,citationCount"`. 2. **Backward**: for each seed, `/paper/<id>/references?fields=paperId,title,year,externalIds,citationCount,influentialCitationCount&limit=500`. Tally each referenced paper's seed count. 3. **Forward**: for each seed, `/paper/<id>/citations?fields=...&limit=1000` (page with `offset` when over 1000; apply `--since`). Tally. …

How to install
mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/citation-graph@git:20260921.c8f5dc3mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/citation-graph@sha256:f7e81db732f18808Pin 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.
