One thing to look at

  • 5 stars5 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Build a focused literature and citation briefing from PapersFlow. Use when the user wants paper search, citation verification, related-paper discovery, or citation graph exploration.

Research Briefing

Use this skill when a user wants a high-signal research briefing grounded in the hosted papersflow-mcp server.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the user's target topic, title, DOI, or seed paper.
  2. Start with search_literature for broad discovery.
  3. Use verify_citation when the user gives a citation string, DOI, URL, PubMed ID, arXiv ID, or uncertain bibliographic reference.
  4. Use find_related_papers when the user wants nearby work around a seed paper.
  5. Use get_citation_graph when the user wants a graph view with references, incoming citations, and optionally similar papers.
  6. Use get_paper_neighbors when the user wants a one-hop grouped view instead of a graph-first view.
  7. Use expand_citation_graph only after you already have seed node ids from a previous graph result.
  8. Use fetch when the user wants a richer single-paper record after search or graph exploration.

Output Style

  • Prefer short grouped sections over long prose.
  • Include paper titles, years, identifiers, and why they matter.
  • If the user asked for a graph-oriented answer, explicitly distinguish:
    • references
    • later citations
    • similar papers
  • If the graph result looks noisy, say so instead of pretending the neighborhood is authoritative.

Tool Guidance

Use search_literature

Use for:

  • topic exploration
  • early-stage paper discovery
  • short lists of candidate seed papers

Use verify_citation

Use for:

  • checking a citation string
  • normalizing a DOI or paper URL
  • producing a reliable paper identifier before deeper exploration

Use get_citation_graph

Use for:

  • seed-centered graph exploration
  • showing how a paper connects to prior and later work

Prefer this when the user explicitly asks for a graph, network, map, or influence chain.

Use get_paper_neighbors

Use for:

  • concise grouped neighbors
  • "show me the references / citations / similar papers" requests

Prefer this over the graph tool when the user cares more about grouped lists than graph structure.

Use expand_citation_graph

Use only when:

  • you already have valid node ids from a previous graph result
  • the user wants to grow the graph one hop farther

Do not guess node ids.

Examples

  • User asks: "Find five strong papers on retrieval-augmented generation evaluation and tell me which one to start with."
  • User asks: "Verify this citation and give me a normalized version."
  • User asks: "Show me the citation graph around Attention Is All You Need."
  • User asks: "Expand the graph from these two node ids and tell me where the important branches are."
