Literature Research SOP

Layer Rules

• Layer: sop — wraps MCP tools directly
• Called by: Any tactic or strategy requiring deep paper reading and rigorous analysis
• Calls: alphaxiv MCP tools, semantic-scholar MCP tools (never calls other SOPs)

Purpose

Deep reading. Raw full text, targeted PDF queries. For rigorous analysis, experiment design, and paper writing. This is the highest-depth skill — you read the actual paper content, not summaries.

Use this when you need to:

• Understand exact methodology details (equations, algorithms, architectures)
• Extract specific experimental setup (hyperparameters, datasets, baselines)
• Compare approaches at a technical level
• Design experiments based on prior work
• Write a paper that cites specific claims with precision

This skill reads RAW FULL TEXT. AI summaries are not acceptable at this depth.
