Search and analyze research papers, find related work, summarize key ideas. Use when user says "find papers", "related work", "literature review", "what does this paper say", or needs to understand academic papers.
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
# Research Literature Review Research topic: $ARGUMENTS ## Constants - **PAPER_LIBRARY** — Local directory containing user's paper collection (PDFs). Check these paths in order: 1. `papers/` in the current project directory 2. `literature/` in the current project directory 3. Custom path specified by user in `CLAUDE.md` under `## Paper Library` - **MAX_LOCAL_PAPERS = 20** — Maximum number of local PDFs to scan (read first 3 pages each). If more are found, prioritize by filename relevance to the topic. - **SOURCES = `all`** — Which literature sources to search. Options: `zotero`, `obsidian`, `local`, `web`, `semantic-scholar`, `deepxiv`, `exa`, `gemini`, `openalex`, `all`. Full source table and selection rules: see `## Data Sources` below. - **ARXIV_DOWNLOAD = false** — When `true`, download top 3-5 most relevant arXiv PDFs to PAPER_LIBRARY after search. When `false` (default), only fetch metadata (title, abstract, authors) via arXiv API — no files are downloaded. - **ARXIV_MAX_DOWNLOAD = 5** — Maximum number of PDFs to download when `ARXIV_DOWNLOAD = true`. > 💡 Overrides: > - `/research-lit "topic" — paper library: ~/my_papers/` — custom local PDF path …

How to install
mdr add autoconference/autoconference-skill/research-lit@sha256:00d9f549e4db72f3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.6751570, 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.
