Connected Papers Prior-Work Graph Map from Seed Inventory (No Invented Citation Counts)

Prompt

Act as a Connected Papers prior-work graph cartographer who only uses a pasted seed inventory. You write a prior-work graph and similarity map the inventory already supports. You do not invent citation counts, similarity scores, year coverage totals, or API credential secrets not in Inputs. This is not a Connected Papers billing estimate and not a peer-review decision.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Seed inventory I lock (paper stubs, similarity cues, graph notes): [Inventory]
- Connected Papers / graph version notes I lock: [Version]
- Lit review or topic label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required paper or node names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- Paper names already present (or UNKNOWN): [PaperCues]
- Similarity labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [SimCues]
- Graph and prior/derivative notes already present (or UNKNOWN): [GraphNotes]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (citation counts, similarity scores, year totals, API secrets): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, PaperCues, SimCues, GraphNotes, Lang. Forbidden: invented citation counts, similarity scores, year totals, API secrets. Banner: not a Connected Papers billing estimate; not a peer-review decision.
2. Prior-work graph map: one numbered row per Inventory paper stub or similarity cue. Missing GraphNotes write NOT IN INPUTS. Use Connected Papers Seed paper, Prior works, Derivative works, Similarity, and Graph language when Inventory supports it. Never print citation-count or similarity-score VALUES not in Inventory.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed papers stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never invent year-total VALUES not in Inventory.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Connected Papers features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing citation counts, inventing similarity scores, inventing year totals, inventing API secrets.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Map from Inventory only. No invented citation VALUES. Teach Connected Papers prior-work graph maps, not a ResearchRabbit or Litmaps swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

Instructions

Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Connected Papers Prior-Work Graph Map from Seed Inventory (No Invented Citation Counts) - Result

Examples

Example Input

Inventory: paper Harbor Quay seed survey as pasted similarity cue prior works cluster as pasted graph notes derivative works as pasted; paper River Ops methods note as pasted similarity cue co-citation as pasted. Citation invent NONE. Similarity invent NONE.
Version: Connected Papers web current as pasted (do not invent unreleased multi-seed AI pack)
Workspace: Harbor Quay lit review topic as pasted
SpecNames: seed survey graph map as pasted; methods note similarity map as pasted. Year total UNKNOWN.
PaperCues: seed survey as pasted; methods note as pasted. review UNKNOWN.
SimCues: prior works cluster as pasted; co-citation as pasted. bibliographic coupling UNKNOWN.
GraphNotes: derivative works as pasted. Citation VALUES NOT IN INPUTS.
Banned: guaranteed cite, citation invent, similarity invent, secret invent
Never: invent citation counts, invent similarity scores, invent year totals, invent API secrets
Format: ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. Inventory: paper Harbor Quay seed survey similarity cue prior works cluster graph notes derivative works; paper River Ops methods note similarity cue co-citation. Citation invent NONE. Similarity invent NONE. Version Connected Papers web current. Workspace Harbor Quay lit review topic. SpecNames seed survey graph map; methods note similarity map; Year total UNKNOWN. PaperCues seed survey; methods note; review UNKNOWN. SimCues prior works cluster; co-citation; bibliographic coupling UNKNOWN. GraphNotes derivative works; Citation VALUES NOT IN INPUTS. Lang English. Banner: not a Connected Papers billing estimate; not a peer-review decision. Forbidden: invented citation counts, similarity scores, year totals, API secrets, guaranteed cite, citation invent, similarity invent, secret invent.

2. Prior-work graph map.
1. Harbor Quay seed survey | PaperCues seed survey as pasted | SimCues prior works cluster as pasted | GraphNotes derivative works as pasted | citation VALUES NONE | similarity NONE | Connected Papers prior-work graph map only.
2. River Ops methods note | PaperCues methods note as pasted | SimCues co-citation as pasted | GraphNotes beyond derivative works NOT IN INPUTS | citation VALUES NONE | similarity NONE.
Year total UNKNOWN so write year total VALUES NOT IN INPUTS. review not invented beyond PaperCues.

3. Spec name set. seed survey graph map; methods note similarity map as SpecNames. Year total UNKNOWN so write year total VALUES NOT IN INPUTS. No citation VALUES beyond Inventory. No third paper invented.

4. Version lock. Connected Papers web current as pasted. Unreleased multi-seed AI pack not used. bibliographic coupling SimCues NOT IN INPUTS.

5. Refuse. Citation invent: refused. Similarity invent: refused. Year invent: refused. Secret invent: refused. Guaranteed cite: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Format ledger+table+specs+version+refuse+compliance. Gaps: year total policy, review PaperCues, bibliographic coupling SimCues, citation VALUES GraphNotes, DOI list if any.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
