Editorial and source context
What this Skill does
Paper Lookup is a source-indexed Agent Skill for data, research & analysis work. Based on the SKILL.md description, it focuses on search 11 academic literature apis for papers, preprints, citations, and open-access full text, and…. Use the linked GitHub file to confirm scope and prerequisites before enabling it.
What the author says
Search 11 academic literature APIs for papers, preprints, citations, and open-access full text, and return results with reproducible provenance. Covers PubMed, PMC (full text), Europe PMC (full-text and preprint search), bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv, OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, CORE, Unpaywall. Use when searching for papers, citations, DOI/PMID/arXiv lookups, abstracts, full text, open-access PDFs, preprints, citation graphs, author publications, or any scholarly literature query. Triggers on mentions of any supported database or requests like "find papers on X", "look up this DOI", "who cites this paper", or "get me the PDF".
Compatibility and requirements
- Use an agent runtime that supports Agent Skills and the linked SKILL.md format.
- Confirm the source repository's tools, SDKs, and platform prerequisites for api design work.
How to install or import it
- Open the linked GitHub SKILL.md and review its scope and setup instructions.
- Install or import the skill using the agent runtime's documented workflow.
- Run a small, non-sensitive test and verify the output before broader use.
Permissions and risks
- Review every command, file path, network request, dependency, and credential scope before enabling it.
- GitHub stars indicate popularity, not safety or correctness; validate the source and test with non-sensitive data.
Example workflows
- Ask an AI agent to apply Paper Lookup to api design work described in the source record.
- Have the agent state assumptions, required tools, and expected output before using this data, research & analysis skill.
- Compare the result with the linked GitHub SKILL.md and verify it against your project requirements.
