This skill should be used when user asks to "search for papers", "find research papers", "search arXiv", "search PubMed", "find academic papers", "search IEEE", "search Scopus", or "look up scientific literature".

# Academic Literature Search — 学术文献检索与引用管理
Search and retrieve preprints from arXiv via the Atom API. Use this skill when searching for papers in physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering, or economics by keywords, authors, arXiv IDs, date ranges, or categories.
Search arXiv for preprints in physics, math, CS, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering, economics. Use when: (1) finding preprints by topic, (2) searching by author, (3) browsing arXiv categories, (4) getting paper metadata/abstracts. NOT for: published journal articles (use crossref-search), biomedical (use pubmed-search).
Screen papers for systematic reviews using ASReview active learning. Use when: user has a large set of papers to screen for inclusion/exclusion, wants to prioritize relevant papers, or needs to reduce manual screening workload. NOT for: searching papers (use literature-search) or meta-analysis (use meta-analysis).
Analyze citation networks, compute bibliometric indicators, and identify research fronts. Use when: user asks about citation patterns, h-index, co-authorship networks, research trends, or bibliometric analysis. NOT for: literature searching (use literature-search) or writing papers (use paper-writing).
Academic metadata search via CrossRef API. Use when: user needs DOI resolution, citation counts, journal metadata, or publisher info. NOT for: full-text access or downloading papers.
Computer science bibliography via DBLP API. Use when: user asks about CS publications, author publication lists, or venue (conference/journal) metadata. NOT for: non-CS publications or citation counts.
Verify scientific claims, political statements, and environmental assertions against evidence
Search US and EU case law, court opinions, dockets, and regulations via CourtListener, Harvard Case Law, and EUR-Lex. Use when: (1) finding US court opinions by keyword or citation, (2) searching federal and state dockets, (3) querying EU legislation and case law, (4) looking up cases by date range or jurisdiction. NOT for: current legislation text (use congress.gov), legal advice (never provide), patent search (use USPTO APIs).
Comprehensive multi-database scientific literature search orchestrating Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, arXiv, PubMed, and CrossRef. Use when: (1) systematic literature review, (2) finding all relevant papers on a topic, (3) checking state of the art, (4) building comprehensive bibliographies. NOT for: single-database queries (use specific search skills), data analysis (use code-execution).
Open academic metadata via OpenAlex API. Use when: user needs author profiles, institution data, concept mapping, or open citation data. NOT for: full-text search or downloading papers.
Read, summarize, and critically analyze scientific papers. Extract key findings, methodology, limitations, and contributions. Use when user shares a paper (PDF/URL/DOI), asks to summarize a paper, critique methodology, extract data from a paper, compare papers, or do a critical review. Triggers on "summarize this paper", "analyze this study", "what does this paper say", "critique this methodology", "extract findings from".
Write scientific papers following IMRaD structure with proper citations. Use when: user asks to draft or improve a scientific paper, write specific sections, or format citations. NOT for: non-academic writing or presentation slides.
Conducts structured peer review of scientific manuscripts including methodological evaluation, statistical assessment, clarity analysis, and constructive feedback generation following journal-specific guidelines; trigger when users ask for manuscript critique, reviewer reports, or feedback on research papers.
Search PubMed/MEDLINE for biomedical literature via NCBI E-utilities API. Use when: (1) searching medical/biomedical papers, (2) finding clinical studies, (3) querying with MeSH terms, (4) retrieving abstracts by PMID. NOT for: non-biomedical papers (use arxiv-search or semantic-scholar), full-text access (PubMed provides abstracts), or social science literature.
Reflect on completed research tasks to improve future performance. Use when: a research task has just been completed and the agent should evaluate its own process, store lessons learned, or retrieve past reflections before starting new work. NOT for: active research execution or data analysis.
# Science Communication — Making Research Accessible
Classify scientific content by discipline, methodology, topic, and quality. Use when: user asks to categorize papers, methods, or research outputs. NOT for: simple keyword tagging or non-scientific content.
Identify research gaps, synthesize cross-disciplinary insights, and generate novel hypotheses. Use when: user asks about unexplored areas, cross-field connections, or new research directions. NOT for: routine literature review or data analysis.
