Research Literature for WTF-P

Create an auditable bridge from external scholarship to manuscript claims.

Select the action

• Use research-gap to investigate the literature or domain knowledge needed by a section.
• Use analyze-bib to characterize a bibliography and map references to the manuscript.
• Use check-refs to reconcile in-text citations and bibliography records.

Read references/actions.md for the selected action before searching or writing.

Apply the evidence contract

1. Resolve the project root and the exact section or bibliography in scope.
2. Read project://manifest, project://decisions, project://structure/outline, existing source/evidence records, the section record, and its linked context before researching.
3. Separate records found in project files from records obtained externally. Record provenance for every external source.
4. Prefer primary publications and authoritative scholarly indexes. Use secondary summaries only for discovery or context.
5. Verify title, authors, year, venue, persistent identifier, and claim relevance before recommending a citation.
6. Never invent a reference, metadata field, quotation, finding, page number, or citation key. Label unverified candidates explicitly.
7. Require approval before using a paid or external service when project safety settings demand it, and before editing or removing bibliography entries.
