What it does

Semantic Scholar Library Feed is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Work with a user's Semantic Scholar account to read Research Feeds, inspect private Library folders, add papers to folders, and resolve Semantic Scholar paper records from identifiers such as arXiv IDs.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/auth-and-cookies.md`, `references/library.md` and `references/research-feed.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search. It works with Semantic Scholar and arXiv. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Academic paper search

Example prompts

  • “/semantic-scholar-library-feed”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check whether the fixed Cookie Store already exists
  2. If the Cookie Store is missing or stale, ask the user to copy an authenticated Semantic Scholar request as curl from browser DevTools…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Semantic Scholar Library Feed loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 412 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 412 words (~1,028 tokens).

“Use this skill to work against Semantic Scholar's authenticated Library and Research Feed surfaces without browser-driven login flows. Prefer the bundled CLI for Cookie Store inspection, browser-curl import, SSR probing, feed pagination, folder inspection, folder writes, and Graph paper/batch lookups.”
