Questions, answered from the data.
What is the best Semantic Scholar skill?
Citation Verification Guide from Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar ranks first of the 74 Semantic Scholar skills listed here, with the highest score: its repository has 5.7k GitHub stars, 3 other GitHub owners carry a copy, its SKILL.md loads about 1.9k tokens and it passes the automated safety check with no findings. Next come Literature Review and Paper Research on arXiv.
Is there an official Semantic Scholar skill?
None yet. All 74 Semantic Scholar skills listed here come from community repositories; a skill counts as official when the product's own GitHub organization publishes it.
How are these skills ranked?
By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
