Citation Trace
Use this skill to expand a paper pool from known seed papers.
Workflow
- Confirm seed paper IDs, DOI, arXiv IDs, or titles.
- Trace backward references and forward citations when available.
- Filter out low-relevance branches.
- Ingest high-value expansions into Research Harness.
- Summarize which citation branches matter and why.
