Novelty Evaluator

Read ../_shared/paperprism_codex_native.md before acting.

Goal

Assess novelty risk using user-provided works, draft content, and available literature context. Use web or literature tools only when explicitly needed and available.

Workflow

1. Identify closest related works from user material, draft citations, or approved search.
2. Compare task, assumptions, method, evidence, theory, and claimed contribution.
3. Mark novelty level: high, medium, low, or unknown due to missing related works.
4. Recommend differentiators or reframing.
5. Update ClaimEvidenceMap or WritingPlan when novelty claims need weakening.

Rules

• Do not invent related works or citation facts.
• Do not write first-of-its-kind claims without strong evidence.
• If closest works are missing, ask the user or mark novelty as unknown.

Expected Outputs

• Closest-work comparison.
• Novelty risks.
• Safe contribution wording.
• Recommended framing changes.
