What it does
Cnki Advanced Search is an agent skill from cookjohn/cnki-skills. Perform advanced search on CNKI with field filters like author, title, journal, date range, source category (SCI/EI/CSSCI/北大核心). Use when user needs precise filtered search beyond simple keywords.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science. The repository describes itself as: CNKI (中国知网) skills for Claude Code — search, browse journals, download PDFs, export to Zotero via Chrome DevTools MCP.
When your agent uses it
- User needs precise filtered search beyond simple keywords
Example prompts
- “/cnki-advanced-search”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Navigate
- Search + get results (single async evaluate_script)
- Report
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 20d65f6. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are javascript).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
kns.cnki.net
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
Cnki Advanced Search loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 283 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 283 words (~1,761 tokens).
“Perform a filtered search on CNKI using the old-style advanced search interface (only interface with source category checkboxes).”
