# Research Briefing

Use this skill when a user wants a high-signal research briefing grounded in the hosted `papersflow-mcp` server.

## Workflow

1. Resolve the user's target topic, title, DOI, or seed paper.
2. Start with `search_literature` for broad discovery.
3. Use `verify_citation` when the user gives a citation string, DOI, URL, PubMed ID, arXiv ID, or uncertain bibliographic reference.
4. Use `find_related_papers` when the user wants nearby work around a seed paper.
5. Use `get_citation_graph` when the user wants a graph view with references, incoming citations, and optionally similar papers.
6. Use `get_paper_neighbors` when the user wants a one-hop grouped view instead of a graph-first view.
7. Use `expand_citation_graph` only after you already have seed node ids from a previous graph result.
8. Use `fetch` when the user wants a richer single-paper record after search or graph exploration.
