The definition of $L_\infty$-algebra is by now pretty standard. I gather that the sign conventions given in Lada–Markl's paper _Strongly homotopy Lie algebras_, Communications in Algebra **23** Issue 6 (1995) (arXiv:[hep-th/9406095](https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9406095)) are widely used, and I will keep to them here. I will not rehash the definition of $L_\infty$-algebra, because I'm sure the people who can answer this question will know it well-enough, or could look it up. I emphasise that in my case, I am **not** assuming anything is finite-dimensional, so that I am unwilling to dualise from dg coalgebras to dg algebras in case there is something funny going on.

What I want to know is what is the correct set of conditions on a weak map of 2-term $L_\infty$-algebras. Such a thing is a dg-coalgebra map of the graded cocommutative cofree coalgebra equipped with the differential that is the sum of all the brackets of the $L_\infty$-algebra. 

I have found several published papers that all use the definition of Lada–Markl for $L_\infty$-algebras, specialise to the case of 2-term $L_\infty$-algebras or slight variations, then give conflicting definitions for a morphism. None of them have commented on potential errors in the others, or if there are conventions that differ leading to different signs. The coherence conditions have various signs flipped in various ways, and it's not clear to me, a complete uninitiate for dealing with cofree coalgebras of infinite-dimensional vector spaces, how to even arrive at even one of these sets. All of the sources I have seen so far do not actually calculate these coherence conditions, merely state them as an definition, rather than deriving them from the definition I just gave (if there is a published source working this stuff out, I'd _love_ to see it).

Note: The SE software is suggesting to me [this question](https://mathoverflow.net/questions/139175/what-is-a-homotopy-between-l-infty-algebra-morphisms), except that uses an apparently different sign convention compared to Lada–Markl. However, that's exactly the sort of formula I'm after - just with the signs sorted (which is of course the whole difficulty in this game), and I don't trust myself to not miss something.
