 "summary": "Search OpenAlex and arXiv in one pool, preview records, and add the useful ones to your Thesys library.",
 "who": "A literature reviewer starting a new topic who needs a quick list of open-access papers without checking several sites.",
 "problem": "Open-access papers are spread across several sources, so building a first reading list takes time.",
 "outcome": "A library of relevant open-access papers, each previewed and ready for chat and citation export.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `cp backend/.env.example backend/.env` and set EMAIL in backend/.env. Add OPENALEX_API_KEY only if you have one.",
  "Run `docker compose up --build` from the repo root and open http://127.0.0.1:5000.",
  "Search for your topic in the Discover section to get OpenAlex and arXiv results in one list.",
  "Preview a record, open its link if you want the source, and add the paper you want to your library.",
  "Run `docker compose down` to stop the workspace. Added papers stay in the thesys-data volume."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the Sreehari05055/thesys-core repo to start the Docker workspace, search Discover for <your topic>, and add the five most relevant open-access papers to the library. Report the titles and links of the papers added. Verify that each added paper appears in the library list.",
