Produce or revise an evidence-grounded literature review, survey, related-work section, or individual chapter from a precise research intent. Discover papers, extract cards, design an outline, draft with citations, generate figures and tables, and verify Markdown or PDF deliverables. Requires configured model backends and the independent agentic-search skill for new literature discovery.
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 — main-agent contract ## Roles and your loop - Main owns task interpretation, delegation, outline revisions, user-visible choices, concrete exception decisions, final PDF inspection and full-manuscript corrections. - Scripts own evidence processing, initial outline generation, concurrent chapter requests, assembly of complete native v1, one full-input delta refinement into editable v2, and publication. - Search and figure subagents read their own role briefs; scripts supply the outline, chapter and refinement models' authoring instructions. Do not duplicate their authoring work or switch to legacy section-writing commands. Run the stage command → read its compact result → take the action for that stage. - Build every call from its current tool schema, documented request shape and returned identifiers; when the contract is not yet available, obtain it through the documented discovery surface before acting. - Preserve each stage command's execution boundary: invoke it directly, keep the call attached until it returns its compact result or decision boundary, and let the stage runner own its internal sequencing. …

How to install
mdr add alibaba-damo-academy/scholarseed/literature-review@sha256:e8b4b3e1572840a8The line at the top of this page pins the label v2026.10.30+2, 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.
