Turn a research question into an annotated reading list with provenance. Use when the user asks to find papers, survey the literature, gather background on a topic, collect sources for a section, or fill out a thin bibliography. Searches OpenAlex with literature_search, resolves canonical BibTeX with verify_citation, dedupes against the project bibliography before writing anything, and leaves behind research/reading-list.md plus one source note per paper.

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

# Oleafly Literature Sweep

A sweep produces three things: an annotated reading list, one source note per paper with enough provenance to repeat the search, and verified BibTeX entries in the project's own bibliography. A pile of titles in a chat reply is not a sweep. It disappears when the conversation scrolls.

The rule that governs everything below: nothing enters the bibliography that has not been resolved through `verify_citation`. A plausible looking entry is worse than a missing one, because it compiles.

## Step 1. Pin the question and the scope

Before searching, write down what a good hit looks like. Ask the user when a constraint would change the answer and you cannot infer it.

- The question, in one sentence.
- Field. "Attention" means different papers in vision and in psychology.
- Year floor, if any. "Recent" without a year is not a constraint.
- Whether they want the influential handful or exhaustive coverage. This changes the whole procedure.
- Whether preprints count.

Set the plan with `update_todos`, one item per step below, the first `in_progress`.

## Step 2. Look inside the project first

Two calls, both cheap, both of which change what you search for.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oleafly/oleafly/oleafly-literature-sweep@sha256:4e1c2fbf2c43aeb1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
