Capture scholarly papers met in research conversations into this project's .lit corpus, triage the capture inbox, and answer literature questions from the local corpus before re-searching. Use when a paper with a DOI, arXiv id, OpenAlex W-id, or exact title plus author or year comes up and looks worth keeping, when the user asks to capture, save, or file a paper, or when a literature question may already be answered by the corpus. Not for casual mentions the user has not asked to keep. After…

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.

# lit-capture

Run this as a procedure. The corpus lives in `.lit/` at the root of the current
project repo and is git-tracked there. The script `lit_fetch.py` is the only
component that touches the network. It requests `api.openalex.org` over HTTPS
and rejects a response whose final host is not that host.
Everything else is agent reading and writing.

Invoke the script by its installed path so no PATH setup is needed:

```bash
python "$HOME/.zcode/skills/lit-capture/lit_fetch.py" --status
```

Common flags: `--dir <path>` (corpus root, default `.lit`; always run from the
repo root), `--api-key <key>` (default env `OPENALEX_API_KEY`).

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.9+ (standard library only; no pip packages) reachable as `python`.
- Network access to `api.openalex.org`. Singleton DOI and W-id lookups are
  free; title searches, batches, and inbox triage draw on a daily budget, so
  set `OPENALEX_API_KEY` (from OpenAlex) for the full budget.
- The script ships inside this skill folder. The default install is ZCode

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jgsystemsconsulting/jgs-lit-memory/lit-capture@sha256:ba1db542f51ff833

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.d01b78c, 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.
