## Description

Search literature across sources, verify or manage citations, and build MeSH strategies or citation-impact audits. Use for 文献检索、引文核对、参考文献管理、严格他引 and evidence-backed citer profiles; not for translating a paper or drafting manuscript prose.

# Academic Search, Router

## Routing protocol

For local citation-file conversion with complete supplied records, load
`references/workflows/wf4-citation-file-mgmt.md` and its format reference directly.
Source lookup, API setup, and network preflight apply only when retrieval or verification is
needed; do not require them for a requested offline conversion.

For a new task, load the core and matching resources below. Reuse already loaded guidance on follow-ups; load more only when the task needs it.

### 1. Load the manifest and the core layer

Read [manifest.yaml](manifest.yaml). It declares the `workflow` axis, the allowed values, and the file paths each value maps to.

Also read every file listed under `always_load`:

- `static/core/tools.md`, the MCP tool inventory (core search, extended search, PubMed utilities) and the shared-module map.
- `static/core/routing-and-ops.md`, the T1→T2→T3 source routing quick guide, environment setup, error handling, and limitations.

### 2. Detect the workflow

Map the user's need to one or more `workflow` values:

- `multi-source-search`, find literature across sources.
- `citation-verification`, verify citations extracted from a document.
- `mesh-strategy`, build a MeSH/PubMed search strategy.
- `citation-file-mgmt`, convert/manage `.nbib`/`.ris`/`.bib` files.
- `reference-mgmt`, BibTeX, related-article discovery, ID conversion.
- `strict-other-citation-impact-audit`, determine strict independent other-citations, build article-level citation metric tables, identify high-profile citers (academy members, presidents/deans, talent-award holders, fellows, field leaders), and extract how they cited the target paper.

A combined request (for example search then export) may need more than one. State the detected workflow(s) in one short line before proceeding.

### 3. Load the matching workflow fragment(s)
