What problem does it solve?

This skill helps researchers quickly assemble a comprehensive map of a paper's related works by identifying cited references (predecessors) and subsequent papers (successors) and organizing them into a structured relation network.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Crawl and parse a target paper's references to build a predecessor graph.
  • Retrieve citing works to form the successor network and identify research lineage.
  • Generate a structured report that highlights foundational works, key continuations, and potential gaps for literature reviews or grant proposals.

Quick Start

Provide a structured related-works map for a given paper by identifying its cited references and successor papers.
