literature-search

combined

Comprehensive scientific literature search across PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv. Natural language queries powered by Valyu semantic search. Use when the user asks to search for papers, review literature, find references on a topic, verify a paper exists, or build a bibliography. Enforces web verification of every citation via web fetch to prevent hallucinated references.

When to use

• Comprehensive literature reviews across all domains
• Finding all relevant research on a topic
• Cross-domain scientific discovery
• Combining biomedical, physics, and preprint literature
• Emerging research across disciplines
• "What does the literature say about X?"
• "Find papers on Y"
• "Who wrote the seminal paper on Z?"

Conflict

The three copies are not reproductions of one procedure. The LeoYeAI copy is a CLI/API tool specification for a multi-source search engine with query expansion and PDF download. The brycewang-stanford copy is a workflow for an agent to search, web-verify every citation, and curate a bibliography with a specific output table. The FreedomIntelligence copy is a wrapper around the Valyu semantic search API for PubMed/arXiv/bioRxiv/medRxiv. They overlap only in the broad goal of finding academic papers, but each has material steps, constraints, and tools the others lack, and they disagree on sources, verification, and output format.
