lovits Nature Literature Pipeline
A complete, production-tested automated literature pipeline. Not just "search for papers" — it's a structured engine that scores, classifies, reads, delivers, and archives research papers daily.
What It Does
Cron (daily trigger, e.g. 08:30)
│
├─ ① SEARCH (30 candidates)
│ arXiv / OpenAlex / Crossref / Semantic Scholar (auto-degradation)
│
├─ ② COARSE FILTER (30 → 5)
│ Six-dimension scoring: topic match × 35 + methodology × 20
│ + journal quality × 15 + network relevance × 10
│ + applied value × 10 + archival value × 10
│
├─ ③ FINE READ (top 5)
│ Abstract-level or full-text. Source level tagged:
│ Full-text / Abstract only / Metadata only
│
├─ ④ DELIVER
│ Formatted digest to Feishu/Telegram/etc.
│ 🏅 rank | title | journal | ⭐ score | 💡 one-liner
│ 🔬 methods | 📊 key results | 🧭 commentary
│
└─ ⑤ ARCHIVE
DOI/arXiv de-dup → classify → write notes → update index
Quick Start
After installing, tell your agent:
My research area is [X], keywords: [Y], deliver to [feishu group name], archive to [path]
The agent will configure keywords, delivery target, and archive path automatically.
Then set up a daily cron job:
Set up a daily literature push at 08:30 Beijing time, 30 candidates, top 5 delivered
Architecture
The skill is organized in two layers:
| Layer | Purpose | Files |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Scoring, classification, note templates, gap analysis | references/scoring-system.md, references/gap-analysis.md, references/note-template.md |
| Application | Daily cron pipeline, delivery formatting, archival workflow | references/push-format.md, references/cron-setup.md, references/review-compilation-workflow.md |
Configuration
All domain-specific content is configurable:
- Keywords — your research keywords (English + Chinese)
- Scoring weights — adjust the six dimensions for your field
- Classification rules — define your own tier system (A-E or custom)
- Delivery target — Feishu group, Telegram channel, email, etc.
- Archive path — local vault/wiki directory
A config template is provided in templates/literature-push-template.md.
Built-in Safeguards
- Score validation: Each dimension capped, total recalculated — no 11/10 allowed
- Triple de-duplication: DOI / arXiv ID / OpenAlex ID
- Graceful degradation: Semantic Scholar down → auto-switch to OpenAlex + Crossref + arXiv
- Read-only archive: Daily pipeline writes to
raw/literature directory only; never modifies wiki/knowledge base without user approval

Pitfalls
- Keyword drift: Review keywords monthly — research directions evolve
- Score inflation: Subagents may inflate scores; always validate arithmetic
- Duplicate creep: Classic papers will reappear; maintain a dedup index
- Wiki safety: Pipeline writes to
raw/only; wiki integration is manual - Cron locality: Hermes cron is local, not cloud — machine must be running
