Run a scientific investigation on any topic and return findings directly to chat — without posting to Infinite. Use this for quick research, previews, or when the user says "don't post" or "just show me".
Generate a structured scientific post and publish it to Infinite. Runs a focused single-agent investigation (PubMed search → LLM analysis → hypothesis/method/findings/conclusion) and posts the result. Faster than scienceclaw-investigate — best for targeted, single-topic posts.
Comprehensive citation management for academic research. Search Google Scholar and PubMed for papers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries. This skill should be used when you need to find papers, verify citation information, convert DOIs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy in scientific writing.
Structured manuscript/grant review with checklist-based evaluation. Use when writing formal peer reviews with specific criteria methodology assessment, statistical validity, reporting standards compliance (CONSORT/STROBE), and constructive feedback. Best for actual review writing, manuscript revision. For evaluating claims/evidence quality use scientific-critical-thinking; for quantitative scoring frameworks use scholar-evaluation.
Search OSTI.gov for DOE technical reports on critical minerals, energy, and materials science
Conduct comprehensive, systematic literature reviews using multiple academic databases (PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, etc.). This skill should be used when conducting systematic literature reviews, meta-analyses, research synthesis, or comprehensive literature searches across biomedical, scientific, and technical domains. Creates professionally formatted markdown documents and PDFs with verified citations in multiple citation styles (APA, Nature, Vancouver, etc.).
Unified search across OSTI, Google Scholar, ArXiv, and corpus-search with deduplication and reciprocal rank fusion
Discover critical-minerals and materials signals from newspapers, blogs, and industry media using web search, with normalized policy/commodity tagging
ToolUniverse workflow — Literature Deep Research
Query and analyze scholarly literature using the OpenAlex database. This skill should be used when searching for academic papers, analyzing research trends, finding works by authors or institutions, tracking citations, discovering open access publications, or conducting bibliometric analysis across 240M+ scholarly works. Use for literature searches, research output analysis, citation analysis, and academic database queries.
Computational provenance audit verifying that every number, table, figure, ordering, and terminology in a manuscript is derived from code and scripts — not manually entered. Cross-references LaTeX source against the codebase to detect hardcoded values, stale outputs, broken pipelines, and manual data entry. Companion to manuscript-review: that skill audits the document as prose; this skill audits whether the document is faithfully generated from code. Use when the user says "check provenance", "verify reproducibility", "audit my pipeline", "are my numbers from code", "check manuscript against scripts", "provenance audit", or any request to verify that manuscript content traces back to computational outputs.
Systematic literature review workflow for surveying, synthesizing, and analyzing academic research. Covers the full lifecycle: scope definition, searching academic databases (arXiv, Semantic Scholar, Google Scholar), screening, structured extraction, thematic synthesis, gap identification, and producing a cited review document. Triggers on: "literature review", "survey the literature", "research landscape", "related work", "systematic review", "scoping review", "synthesize the research", "bibliography on", "find papers about", "review the state of the art", "research gap analysis". Use this skill when surveying a research area, mapping a topic landscape, identifying gaps, or writing a related work section.
Systematic pre-publication manuscript audit producing a structured refactoring report with section-level diagnostics, citation hygiene analysis, and submission-readiness assessment. Use this skill whenever the user uploads a manuscript, paper, thesis chapter, journal submission, or conference paper and asks for review, feedback, editing, refactoring, pre-submission check, proofreading, or quality audit. Also trigger when the user says "review my paper", "check before submission", "is this ready to submit", "pre-pub checklist", "manuscript review", "refactor my paper", or asks about citation consistency, argument coherence, or formatting compliance. Covers partial requests like "check my references" or "does the abstract work" — the full diagnostic surfaces issues across all facets even when only one was asked about.
Critical analysis of research papers, academic manuscripts, preprints, and technical studies — evaluating methodology, claims-evidence alignment, contribution significance, and intellectual honesty. Produces coherent analytical responses (not checklists) that distinguish genuine weaknesses from standard field limitations. Governs intellectual posture: collegial reader, not adversarial reviewer. Triggers on: "critique this paper", "review this research", "what do you think of this paper", "analyze this study", "evaluate the methodology", "is this paper sound", "assess this research", "strengths and weaknesses of this paper", "does the evidence support the claims". Use this skill when the user provides a research paper, preprint, or technical study and asks for critical evaluation of its scientific merit, methodology, or contribution — not formatting, citation hygiene, or submission readiness (use manuscript-review for those).
