Research Evidence

Overview

Use this skill as the shared evidence layer for paper writing, related work, review, and rebuttal work. It does not replace domain judgment: it finds and checks evidence, then reports support level, gaps, and risks.

Hard Boundaries

• Use public metadata, open-access PDFs, and user-provided local PDFs only.
• Do not use Sci-Hub or any route that bypasses access control.
• Do not write Markdown, JSON, CSV, or report files unless the user explicitly asks for saved artifacts.
• Run RefChecker in non-LLM mode by default. Enable LLM-assisted extraction or hallucination checks only when the user explicitly requests it and accepts the privacy/cost tradeoff.
• Treat tool output as evidence to inspect, not final truth. Mark weak coverage, metadata mismatches, and unsupported claims clearly.

Venue Defaults

Prefer these venues when the user does not specify otherwise:
