Documentation

README

Excerpt

Literature Review Agent (Step 3)

Faithful implementation of the Hybrid Literature Agent from PaperOrchestra (Song et al., 2026, arXiv:2604.05018, §4 Step 3, App. D.3, App. F.1 p.46).

Cost: ~20–30 LLM calls. This is one of the two longest steps (the other is plotting). Wall-time floor is set by Semantic Scholar's 1 QPS verification limit.

Inputs

workspace/outline.json — specifically intro_related_work_plan with the Introduction search directions and the 2-4 Related Work methodology clusters
workspace/inputs/conference_guidelines.md — used to derive cutoff_date
workspace/inputs/idea.md, workspace/inputs/experimental_log.md — for framing the Intro and grounding the Related Work positioning
