neqsim-literature-search SKILL.md skillA

neqsim-literature-search from equinor/neqsim is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add equinor/neqsim/neqsim-literature-search@git:20261016.d652b1d

Pins git:20261016.d652b1d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Literature and web research workflow for NeqSim tasks. USE WHEN: a task needs papers, standards, textbook or benchmark data, or background from the open web, stored and summarized so it is reusable. Saves papers to references/literature/ and web extracts to references/web/, writes literature_findings.md (claims, citations, relevance) and feeds references/SOURCES.md.

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 & Web Search for Engineering Tasks

Find, store, and summarize related papers and web information for a NeqSim task
so the research is **auditable, reusable, and distributable** with the task
folder. This skill defines the *workflow and storage convention*; it pairs with
`neqsim-stid-retriever` (internal/vendor corpora), `neqsim-technical-document-reading`
(fact extraction), `neqsim-pdf-ocr` (scanned PDFs), and `neqsim-standards-lookup`
(which standards to pull). It is the open-literature/web counterpart to the
internal-document retrieval flow, and shares the same `references/` collection
layout so everything lands in one distributable folder.

## When to Use

- At the start of Step 1 (Scope & Research) on Standard/Comprehensive tasks.
- When the solver needs a reference for a claim, a correlation source, or an
  independent benchmark dataset (NIST, textbook worked examples, published lab
  data, standards).
- When background context from the web (method descriptions, equipment
  background, operator/vendor public material, regulatory text) informs scope.

## Storage Convention (distributable, per-source)

All research is stored **inside the task folder** under

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add equinor/neqsim/neqsim-literature-search@sha256:ff6bf8d8565948a4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.d652b1d, 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.
