+description: Use this when the user wants a curated reading sequence, paper shortlist, or tiered set of papers for learning or project onboarding.

+# Reading List
+
+## When To Use
+
+Use this skill for:
+- getting up to speed on a topic
+- onboarding into a research area
+- choosing which papers to read first
+- constructing a project-specific reading order
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. Start with `alpha_search` in `all` mode.
+2. Inspect the strongest candidates with `alpha_get_paper`.
+3. Use `alpha_ask_paper` for fit questions like:
+   - what problem does this really solve
+   - what assumptions does it rely on
+   - what prior work does it build on
+4. Classify papers into roles:
+   - foundational
+   - key recent advances
+   - evaluation or benchmark references
+   - critiques or limitations
+   - likely replication targets
+5. Order the list intentionally:
+   - start with orientation
+   - move to strongest methods
+   - finish with edges, critiques, or adjacent work
+6. Write the final list as a durable markdown artifact in `outputs/`.
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+- Do not sort purely by citations.
+- Do not over-index on recency when fundamentals matter.
+- Do not include papers you have not inspected at all.
+
+## Deliverable
+
+For each paper include:
+- title
+- year
+- why it matters
+- when to read it in the sequence
+- one caveat or limitation
