Literature Review
Orchestrate a structured two-pass review. The script drives state management and data fetching; the agent drives the judgment calls (screening, synthesis). Each review is a persistent session — you can pause, resume, and revisit.
Phases
1. init Create session, capture the research question
2. search Wide net across Semantic Scholar (+ arXiv optional), dedup
3. screen Agent reads titles/abstracts/tldrs, marks keepers
4. fetch Script produces a fetch plan (arxiv-analyze or PDF URL per paper)
5. [read] Agent reads each shortlisted paper via the indicated strategy
6. [synth] Agent writes the review: established findings, tensions, gaps
Steps 5 and 6 are agent-driven (no new subcommand); the script's job is to set up the material.
Usage

scholar-search
Search scholarly works across arXiv, conferences, journals, and books via OpenAlex. Returns citation counts, reconstructed abstracts, venue, open-access PDF links, and external IDs (arXiv/DOI/PMID). No API key required. Use when the user says "search scholar", "search papers", "find papers with citations", "papers by author", "cross-discipline search", or "papers from <venue>". Complements arxiv-search (preprints-only).
10scholar-citations
Fetch the citation graph for a research paper via OpenAlex. Returns the papers it cites (references - what preceded it) and the papers that cite it (citations - what built on it). Accepts OpenAlex work ID, DOI, arXiv ID, PMID, or OpenAlex/DOI URL. No API key required. Use when the user says "what does this paper cite", "who cites this paper", "references of", "citation graph", "papers that built on", or "trace this idea backward/forward".
