Prompts
Reusable research workflows, surfaced by MCP clients as slash commands (e.g. /literature_review). Each runs a guided, multi-tool sequence grounded in the corpus, so common research tasks are one command instead of hand-orchestrating the tools.
| Prompt | What it does | Key arguments |
|---|---|---|
/literature_review | Survey a topic and synthesise themes, foundational vs recent work, and open gaps | topic (+ optional venues, since_year) |
/find_related_work | From your abstract, find and organise prior work to cite and distinguish your contribution from | abstract (+ optional venues) |
/compare_papers | Build a structured comparison table across papers, read from full text | topic (+ optional columns) |
/verify_draft | Fact-check a draft or list of claims against the corpus, with a verbatim quote per claim | draft |
/trace_citations | Trace a paper's lineage: its foundations, what built on it, and adjacent work | paper |
/research_methodology | Grounded advice on experiment design, ablations, evaluation, rebuttals, or venue choice | question |
