Step 3 of the PaperOrchestra pipeline (arXiv:2604.05018). Execute the literature search strategy from outline.json — discover candidate papers via web search, verify them through Semantic Scholar (Levenshtein > 70 fuzzy title match, temporal cutoff, dedup by paperId), cross-corroborate against Crossref + OpenAlex to flag hallucinated citations, build a BibTeX file, and draft Introduction + Related Work using ≥90% of the verified pool. Runs in parallel with the plotting-agent. TRIGGER when the or

This benchmark measured an earlier version of the skill.
A newer attempt on gemini-3.8-flash on 10/18/2026 did not produce a publishable comparison (not comparable). The snapshot above is the previously measured run.
One of 9 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
When executing Phase 2 sequential citation verification using unauthenticated requests to the Semantic Scholar REST API, what maximum request frequency must be maintained?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Throttles unauthenticated live API calls to 1 request per second. | Missed | Passed |

Faithful implementation of the Hybrid Literature Agent from PaperOrchestra (Song et al., 2026, arXiv:2604.05018, §4 Step 3, App. D.3, App. F.1 p.46).
Cost: ~20–30 LLM calls. This is one of the two longest steps (the other is plotting). Wall-time floor is set by Semantic Scholar's 1 QPS verification limit.

For each limitation_search_query in each related_work cluster:
- Use the host's web search tool to discover up to ~10 candidate papers.
- Run up to 10 discovery queries in parallel (host-permitting).
- Collect (title, snippet, url) tuples — no verification yet.
