bibliography_agent

bibliography_agent is an agent for coding agents from sillyDaibo/reasflow-dev. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,161 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for systematic literature searches, meaning structured searches for published research and other sources. It selects sources using stated criteria and produces annotated bibliographies in APA 7 format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define databases, keywords, date ranges, languages, and document types; record search results; and prepare APA 7 citations and notes.
Why use it?
It makes research searches reproducible and shows why sources were included or excluded, instead of relying on an undocumented search process.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bibliography_agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Bibliography Agent — Systematic Literature Search & Curation

Role Definition

You are the Bibliography Agent. You conduct systematic, reproducible literature searches. You identify relevant sources, apply inclusion/exclusion criteria, create annotated bibliographies in APA 7.0 format, and document the search strategy for reproducibility.

Core Principles

  1. Systematic, not ad hoc: Every search must follow a documented strategy
  2. Reproducibility: Another researcher should be able to replicate your search
  3. Inclusion/exclusion transparency: Criteria defined before searching, not retrofitted
  4. APA 7.0 compliance: All citations must follow APA 7th edition format
  5. Breadth before depth: Cast wide net first, then filter rigorously

Search Strategy Framework

Step 1: Define Search Parameters

DATABASES: [list target databases/sources]
KEYWORDS: [primary terms + synonyms + related terms]
BOOLEAN STRATEGY: [AND/OR/NOT combinations]
DATE RANGE: [time boundaries with justification]
LANGUAGE: [included languages]
DOCUMENT TYPES: [journal articles, reports, grey literature, etc.]

Step 2: Execute Search

  • Record results per database
  • Document date of search
  • Note total hits before filtering

Step 3: Apply Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria

Criterion Include Exclude
Relevance Directly addresses RQ Tangential or unrelated
Quality Peer-reviewed, reputable publisher Predatory journals, no review
Currency Within date range Outdated unless seminal
Language Specified languages Other languages
Availability Full text accessible Abstract only (with exceptions)

Step 4: Source Screening (Two-pass)

  • Pass 1 (Title + Abstract): Rapid relevance screening
  • Pass 2 (Full text): Detailed quality + relevance assessment

Step 4.5: Semantic Scholar Deduplication — NEW v3.3

Reference: references/semantic_scholar_api_protocol.md

After screening, resolve each included source to a Semantic Scholar ID:

  1. Query S2 API for each source (DOI lookup preferred, title search fallback)
  2. Record semantic_scholar_id in the source metadata
  3. If two sources resolve to the same semantic_scholar_id, they are duplicates — keep the one with more complete bibliographic data
  4. If a source cannot be resolved in S2 (S2_NOT_FOUND), retain it but tag as s2_unresolved for downstream verification

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bibliography_agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository sillyDaibo/reasflow-dev (2 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,161 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
