What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly find the next papers to read from your existing context by producing a ranked, rationale-backed shortlist instead of leaving you to guess what’s relevant.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Anchor-driven discovery: generate candidates from one or more specific seed papers (with optional negative seeds) so follow-up recommendations match what you just ingested or what you already care about.
  • Topic and wiki exploration: propose related work using a free-form topic string or by deriving anchors from the most recently modified wiki paper pages.
  • Venue/year-based discovery: recommend relevant papers from a specific conference or workshop year by comparing candidates against your wiki content.
  • Safety-first behavior: never ingests content; it only proposes candidates and logs the run to the wiki when appropriate.

Quick Start

Run the discovery for a topic to get a ranked shortlist: "/discover --topic diffusion model fine-tuning --limit 10".

FAQPage Schema
How do I get ranked research paper recommendations without automatically downloading files?▼

You can get ranked research paper recommendations by running a discovery command that generates a proposal-only shortlist. The tool logs a discover checkpoint and optional wiki log without downloading papers or mutating existing wiki content.

How do I find related papers from a specific conference or workshop year?▼

Find related papers from a specific venue or year by providing conference inputs to discovery. The tool compares candidates against your existing wiki content, deduplicates entries, and returns a ranked shortlist of relevant works.

Can I generate a reading shortlist based on seed papers I already have?▼

Yes, you can generate a reading shortlist using anchor-driven discovery from specific seed papers. You can also provide negative seeds to refine recommendations, ensuring candidates match your current research context.

How do I discover relevant papers using a free-form topic string?▼

Discover relevant papers by providing a free-form topic string to the discovery tool. It produces a rationale-backed, ranked shortlist of candidate papers without ingesting any content into your wiki.

Does the discovery tool deduplicate recommendations against existing wiki pages?▼

Yes, the discovery tool performs wiki deduplication to ensure proposed candidates do not overlap with existing wiki paper pages. It maintains safety-first behavior by writing proposals and logs without mutating wiki content.

What are the limitations of using a proposal-only discovery workflow?▼

The proposal-only discovery workflow never ingests content, downloads papers, or mutates wiki content. It is limited to producing a ranked shortlist and logging the run, ensuring you manually review candidates before any ingestion occurs.
