SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing a long research paper requires sifting through dozens of raw search results and BibTeX entries to decide which sources are trustworthy, central, or irrelevant. This Skill automates that triage, producing a clean source pack before outlining begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

Source Classification: Sorts references into primary, supporting, and excluded/weak categories with per-source rationale.
Preference-Aware Curation: Honors paper preferences such as audience, venue style, emphasis, and must-include or avoid items when ranking source clusters.
Coverage Analysis: Adds notes on source diversity, gaps, and overclaiming risks to strengthen the paper's credibility.
Use Case: After running a multi-engine literature search on a topic, feed the normalized results and generated BibTeX into this Skill to receive a 20-40 reference source pack ready for the outlining stage.

Quick Start

Curate these search results and BibTeX entries into a source pack for my research paper on the given topic.

FAQPage Schema

How do I curate references for a research paper from search results?▼

Provide the paper topic, paper preferences, normalized search results, and BibTeX entries. The Skill classifies each reference as primary, supporting, or excluded with a rationale, and returns a plain-text source pack ready for the outlining stage.

How many sources should a research paper source pack contain?▼

This Skill selects 20 to 40 usable references when available. It prioritizes official documentation, papers, project repositories, standards, and release notes over shallow marketing pages.

Can I control which sources are prioritized for my paper?▼

Yes. The paper_preferences input lets you specify mode, audience, venue style, language, emphasis, must-include items, and avoid items. The curation follows these preferences when deciding which source clusters are central or out of scope.

Does the source curation change my BibTeX reference keys?▼

No. The original refN keys are kept unchanged throughout the output, and the Skill never invents sources or keys. This keeps the source pack consistent with your existing bibliography.

What are the limitations of automated source curation?▼

The output quality depends on the input search results; it cannot verify claims beyond the provided data. It also produces plain text only, so downstream steps must parse the fixed SOURCE_PACK section format.
