Map the closest literature and sharpen contribution claims for finance or real-estate papers. Use for related-literature sections, novelty maps, and closest-paper comparisons.

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 Positioning Map

Your job is not to summarize everything ever written. Your job is to help the paper occupy a precise place in the literature.

## Workflow

1. Identify the paper's exact question, mechanism, setting, and design.
2. Search for truly close papers using available tools before expanding outward.
3. Build concentric rings: closest papers (direct competitors), near papers (shared mechanism or method), and contextual papers (broader field).
4. Group papers by the dimension of comparison: mechanism, identification strategy, setting, data, or prediction.
5. Identify the comparison set that a referee would naturally invoke.
6. Write a positioning argument that is specific enough to survive scrutiny.

## Tool integration (Corbis MCP) — this is critical

**Always search before writing.** Do not rely on parametric knowledge alone. Corbis searches a live corpus via hybrid semantic and keyword search; verify any quoted corpus size on corbis.ai during the task.

### Mandatory search sequence (execute in order)

**Step 0 — Check existing data and run architecture + frontier searches:**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add agentic-assets/corbis-literature-starter-kit/literature-positioning-map@sha256:8d265217eca1286d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.4ba04d6, 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.
