Scholar Citations
Traverse the citation graph of a research paper via OpenAlex. Two directions:
- References — what this paper cites (its intellectual ancestry)
- Citations — what cites this paper (its intellectual descendants)
One subprocess call returns a structured list of papers with titles, abstracts, citation counts, and external IDs.
Usage

python3 scripts/scholar_citations.py references 2501.11120 --limit 100
# Citations — what cites this paper
python3 scripts/scholar_citations.py citations 2501.11120 --limit 100

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).
9literature-review
Orchestrate a two-pass literature review for a research question. Phase 1 casts a wide net via scholar-search (and optionally arxiv-search), phase 2 the agent screens candidates by title+abstract, phase 3 the shortlist gets full-text analysis, phase 4 the agent writes a structured synthesis. Persistent session state lives in ./literature-reviews/<slug>/. Use when the user says "literature review", "survey the field", "research question", "what does the literature say about", or "systematic search".
