5For local citation-file conversion with complete supplied records, load
6`references/workflows/wf4-citation-file-mgmt.md` and its format reference directly.
7Source lookup, API setup, and network preflight apply only when retrieval or verification is
8needed; do not require them for a requested offline conversion.

10For a new task, load the core and matching resources below. Reuse already loaded guidance on follow-ups; load more only when the task needs it.
11 
12### 1. Load the manifest and the core layer
13 
14Read [manifest.yaml](manifest.yaml). It declares the `workflow` axis, the allowed values, and the file paths each value maps to.
15 
16Also read every file listed under `always_load`:
17 
18- `static/core/tools.md` — the MCP tool inventory (core search, extended search, PubMed utilities) and the shared-module map.
19- `static/core/routing-and-ops.md` — the T1→T2→T3 source routing quick guide, environment setup, error handling, and limitations.
20 
21### 2. Detect the workflow
22 
23Map the user's need to one or more `workflow` values:
24 
25- `multi-source-search` — find literature across sources.
26- `citation-verification` — verify citations extracted from a document.
27- `mesh-strategy` — build a MeSH/PubMed search strategy.
28- `citation-file-mgmt` — convert/manage `.nbib`/`.ris`/`.bib` files.
29- `reference-mgmt` — BibTeX, related-article discovery, ID conversion.
