Searches academic literature through free, keyless PubMed and OpenAlex APIs, optionally augments results with Consensus MCP when connected, builds a PICO, SPIDER, decomposition, or hybrid search plan, and produces a formatted Word research-orientation guide. Uses brief intake and post-reconnaissance checkpoints to confirm the framework, sub-areas, and depth (5, 10, or 20 queries) before spending the search budget. The output is a launching pad, not a finished review. Use when the user requests a literature review, starts a paper or literature-oriented research project, or needs structured research on a topic. Do NOT use for a single paper lookup or a quick paper list; use a plain PubMed, OpenAlex, or Consensus query instead.
