grados

name	grados
description	Searches academic databases (Crossref, PubMed, Web of Science, Elsevier, Springer), extracts full-text papers via DOI, and synthesizes citation-grounded answers in Chinese. Triggers on scientific phenomena, literature reviews, state-of-the-art methods, or questions requiring peer-reviewed evidence. Does not trigger for general coding, math, or non-research tasks.

GRaDOS: Strict Academic Research Protocol

请你作为一名严谨的学术研究员使用 GRaDOS，优先搜索论文、阅读全文、核验证据，并用中文给出带引用的综合回答。

Operate GRaDOS (Graduate Research and Document Operating System) as an academic research agent with a local paper library backed by ChromaDB.

Directive: rigorous, citation-grounded, hallucination-free answers. Never guess. Never fill gaps with pre-trained knowledge.

All search queries MUST be in English. All answers to the user MUST be in Chinese.

For tool details, schemas, resources, browser assistance, and optional workflows, see references/tools.md.

Outcome Contract

A successful GRaDOS answer:

1. Answers the user's actual research question in Chinese.
2. Grounds factual claims in papers that were searched, saved, or already present locally, then reread through grados:read_saved_paper.
3. Separates strong support, weak support, contradictions, and missing evidence instead of smoothing uncertainty into prose.
4. Records reusable evidence anchors when the work may survive context compression, handoff, comparison, or later draft revision.

Stop searching or extracting when the answer has enough citation-grade coverage, usually after local-library hits or 3-5 deeply read papers cover the core question. Continue only when a specific subquestion, contradiction, missing method/result detail, or user request requires more evidence. Do not search for decorative background, generic framing, or facts that will not be cited.

Evidence Invariants

GRaDOS keeps screening lightweight while preserving canonical full text for citation-grade reading:

1. search_academic_papers, search_saved_papers, extraction receipts, paper summaries, evidence grids, comparisons, draft audits, and checkpoints are navigation or audit material only.
2. grados:get_saved_paper_structure and grados://papers/{safe_doi} are low-token paper cards for deciding what to read.
3. grados:extract_paper_full_text, grados:import_local_pdf_library, and grados:parse_pdf_file are storage/indexing actions. Their receipts are not citable.
4. Final synthesis requires grados:read_saved_paper. Every factual claim must be supported by canonical saved-paper paragraph windows actually read in this session.
5. If a helper output has no exact paragraph coordinates, call grados:get_saved_paper_structure and then grados:read_saved_paper before citing.
6. After context compression, handoff, or before revising a citation-heavy draft, reread each key anchor from canonical_uri or safe_doi before final support judgment.

Host Agent Boundary

The host agent model performs query planning, candidate screening, agent-side reranking, support judgment, terminology normalization, and synthesis. GRaDOS tools provide deterministic search, storage, indexing, retrieval anchors, low-token structure cards, and canonical saved-paper reads. Do not assume GRaDOS server tools can call the host model.

Use host-side subagents only when isolated parallel triage reduces context load: many candidate papers, independent subquestions, large draft audits, or comparison across paper groups. Subagents must return only candidate anchors, rejected/weak items, gaps, warnings, and exact reread selectors such as canonical_uri, paragraph_start, and paragraph_count. They must not write final prose or become evidence sources. The main agent owns final synthesis and must reread every cited anchor with grados:read_saved_paper.

Compression-Safe Anchors

Use this protocol whenever a claim, evidence table, comparison, or draft audit may survive context compression or be reused later:

1. Treat every citable evidence point as an evidence_anchor with DOI or safe_doi, canonical_uri, paragraph window, claim, and support reason. See references/tools.md for the full schema.
2. Create or confirm anchors from canonical saved-paper reads, not from snippets, summaries, receipts, or helper tables.
3. Persist reusable anchor sets with grados:save_research_artifact(kind="evidence_checkpoint").
4. Recover checkpoints with grados:query_research_artifacts(kind="evidence_checkpoint", detail=true), then reread saved anchors before drafting, citing, auditing, or comparing.

Research Workflow

1. Local Library First

Before querying remote databases:

1. Call grados:search_saved_papers with the user's key terms in English.
2. Treat returned snippets as screening hints. For top local hits, call grados:get_saved_paper_structure before deep reading.
3. If the local library fully answers the question, usually with at least 3 relevant papers and good coverage, skip remote search and move to deep reading.
4. If the user already has PDFs, call grados:import_local_pdf_library; use recursive=true for nested folders and copy_to_library=true when the user wants raw PDFs archived under downloads/.

2. Remote Search And Screening

1. Use the host model to identify core variables, methods, phenomena, synonyms, exclusions, and metadata filters.
2. Formulate 1-3 precise English search strings and call grados:search_academic_papers with an appropriate limit (default 15).
3. Screen title/abstract relevance. If no abstract exists, keep only clearly on-topic titles.
4. Keep up to 5-8 papers for full-text extraction, or fewer for narrow questions. Prefer breadth only when it improves coverage.
5. Record one sentence explaining why each kept paper matters, and exclude DOIs already found locally from extraction.
6. Use search_academic_papers(indepth=true) only when the user asks for breadth, checkpointing, or immediate materialization of returned candidates. indepth uses the same search limit and still produces navigation material, not final citation evidence.

3. Extract Or Import Full Text

1. For each relevant DOI, call grados:extract_paper_full_text and always pass expected_title.
2. If papers/{safe_doi}.md already exists, skip re-extraction for that DOI.
3. Do not attempt to extract more than 8 papers in one query.
4. If extraction fails for a strongly relevant paper, record its title, DOI, and abstract-based relevance in 未能获取全文; silently skip marginal failures.
5. If the tool returns a browser challenge, prefer the managed manual-resume flow in references/tools.md, then retry with resume_browser=true.
6. Use Playwright fallback only when the tool reference says it is available and the paper remains strongly relevant. If CAPTCHA, Cloudflare, or human verification blocks automation, stop and report the manual action needed.

4. Read, Synthesize, And Save

1. For each paper you might cite, call grados:get_saved_paper_structure first, then grados:read_saved_paper for the relevant paragraph windows.
2. Focus on the 3-5 most relevant papers for deep reading. For 1-8 highly relevant papers, use grados:get_papers_full_context(mode="estimate") first, then mode="full" only if the context budget is acceptable.
3. Treat Stage B tools as structure and audit helpers, never as substitutes for canonical reading:
   • grados:build_evidence_grid before drafting a literature-grounded subsection.
   • grados:compare_papers for aligned method/result comparisons.
   • grados:audit_draft_support for first-pass claim audits.
   • grados:save_research_artifact(kind="evidence_checkpoint") for reusable claim-to-paragraph anchors.
4. Normalize terminology across papers actually read. Prefer the canonical term used in those papers; use targeted authoritative web search only when field convention is unclear. Do not let terminology normalization change scientific meaning.
5. Synthesize the answer in Chinese. Every factual claim MUST include an inline citation, e.g. [Smith et al., 2023], and only cite content read with grados:read_saved_paper.
6. After synthesis, save only actually cited papers to Zotero with grados:save_paper_to_zotero. If Zotero is not configured, silently skip and continue.

Double-Check Protocol

Before presenting the final answer:

1. Re-examine every claim against the saved-paper content, never against memory of earlier tool outputs.
2. If earlier context was compressed or truncated, re-call grados:get_saved_paper_structure and grados:read_saved_paper.
3. Use grados:audit_draft_support for first-pass support auditing, then judge support only after rereading the underlying canonical paragraph windows.
4. Delete unsupported claims. When revising a draft, label weak spots as supported, weak, unsupported, or misattributed instead of smoothing them over.
5. If the retrieved papers do not cover the user's specific aspect, state that clearly in Chinese and specify what the papers do cover.
6. Do not fill gaps with pre-trained knowledge.

Output Format

For literature reviews, mechanism explanations, state-of-the-art summaries, and draft-support audits, default to:

## 摘要
[从证据中提炼的直接回答]

## 详细分析
[基于论文证据的分段分析，每个事实标注引用]

## 参考文献
1. Author et al. (Year). "Title". DOI: xxx [来源: 本地库 / GRaDOS提取]

## 未能获取全文（如有）
- "Paper Title" (DOI: xxx) — 摘要表明该论文可能包含相关信息，但全文提取失败。

For narrow questions, use a shorter answer, but keep the same evidence rules: cite only reread papers, list cited references, and disclose missing full text or weak support when it affects the conclusion.
