 "title": "Trace a theorem's dependencies before reading its proof",
 "page_title": "How to trace a theorem's dependencies before reading its proof with Papergraph MCP",
 "summary": "See direct and recursive dependencies, shared prerequisites, and unknowns for one chosen result.",
 "who": "A researcher preparing to read or teach a specific theorem who wants to know what they need to understand first.",
 "problem": "Proofs cite earlier lemmas and outside results, and tracing those references by hand is slow and error-prone.",
 "outcome": "A compact dependency reading for the chosen result showing direct and recursive dependencies, shared prerequisites, cycles, and unknowns, with full evidence still available.",
 "steps": [
  "Open the Paper Map for the paper and choose a result ID from the main-result candidates.",
  "Run `uvx --from papergraph-mcp==1.2.3 papergraph-mcp get-dependency-reading WORKSPACE PAPER_ID --target-result-id RESULT_ID --detail compact`.",
  "Check the listed unknowns and cycles, and open the source slices for any dependency you plan to rely on.",
  "Record your open questions and checkpoints in the workspace before moving to the next result."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the papergraph-mcp repo, run get-dependency-reading on the paper <paper id> in workspace <workspace> for result <result id>. Report the direct dependencies, shared prerequisites, and unknowns. Verify that every listed dependency links to a source slice and that unknowns are not presented as established.",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "uv installed (see the uv getting-started guide linked in the README)",
  "An arXiv ID, a local LaTeX project with its main .tex file, or a born-digital PDF of a math paper",
