What it does
Scientific Impact Assessment is an agent skill from BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills. Assess paper and journal impact using OpenAlex citation counts, optional Altmetric data, and curated journal impact-factor references. Use when comparing papers, journals, or literature shortlists by reach and influence.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `fixtures/altmetric_counts.json` and `fixtures/expected_report.json`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search and Citation management. The repository describes itself as: A curated collection of AI agent skills for biomedical research, covering genomics, proteomics, single-cell analysis, clinical AI, and protein design.
When your agent uses it
- Comparing papers
- Literature shortlists by reach and influence
Example prompts
- “/scientific-impact-assessment”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in ALTMETRIC_API_KEY
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Prefer a DOI or OpenAlex work ID as input.
- Use the bundled CLI
- OpenAlex is the default source for paper-level citation data.
- Altmetric is optional and should be treated as conditional enrichment.
- Journal-level impact factors come from the curated references table in references/journal_metrics_2024.tsv.
- Keep paper-level and journal-level metrics separate in the final answer.
- If the journal is not in the curated table, return the OpenAlex result anyway and say the journal-level reference lookup was not available.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8cbdd18. 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
ALTMETRIC_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Scientific Impact Assessment loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 530 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 530 words (~1,243 tokens).
“Use this skill to measure the reach of a paper with citation, attention, and journal-level context.”
