Saturation Detection

Determine when to stop expanding — diminishing returns analysis.

Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent skill.

Why Subagent

Saturation judgment requires comparing the entire existing corpus against the latest batch of new papers. The comparison is context-intensive and benefits from dedicated processing.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
spawn-agent	Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent.
