Skill audit report

literature-search Audit report.

Use when a loop needs scholarly literature — paper discovery, novelty checks, full-text snippet search, citation-graph traversal, single-paper reads, or experimental-result extraction. A shared, stdlib-only CLI (`tools/lit_search.py`) over Semantic Scholar + arXiv (plus optional OpenAlex, Perplexity Sonar, bgpt.pro), all JSON. Not a loop itself: install it alongside the loops and let any of them call it instead of vendoring their own copy. Degrades to the caller's WebSearch/WebFetch.
