What it does

Gs Fulltext is an agent skill from cookjohn/gs-skills. Get full-text access links for a Google Scholar paper - PDF, DOI, Sci-Hub, and publisher links. Use when user wants to read or download a paper's full text.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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, covering Academic paper search and PDF. The repository describes itself as: Google Scholar skills for Claude Code — search, citation tracking, full-text access, and Zotero export via Chrome DevTools MCP. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

User wants to read
Download a papers full text

Example prompts

“/gs-fulltext”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Collect links from search results
Resolve additional links (evaluate_script)
Report
Open full text (optional)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df03c99. 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:
- sci-hub.ru
- doi.org
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

Gs Fulltext loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 253 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.1k

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.

name: gs-fulltext
description: Get full-text access links for a Google Scholar paper - PDF, DOI, Sci-Hub, and publisher links. Use when user wants to read or download a paper's full text.
argument-hint: [data-cid or result number from previous search]

Google Scholar Full Text Access

Resolve and present all full-text access options for a paper found in Google Scholar search results.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS can be:

A data-cid from a previous search result
A result number (e.g., 3) referring to a previous search result

Prerequisites

This skill works best after a previous gs-search or gs-advanced-search call, which already extracts fullTextUrl and href for each result. If those are available, use them directly.

Steps

Step 1: Collect links from search results

From the previous search result, extract these fields for the target paper:

fullTextUrl: direct PDF/HTML link (from .gs_ggs a)
href: link to the paper's publisher page (from .gs_rt a)
dataCid: cluster ID

If no previous search context is available, search for the paper first using gs-search.

Step 2: Resolve additional links (evaluate_script)

Navigate to the Google Scholar results page (if not already there), then extract full-text links for the specific paper:

javascript

async () => {
  const cid = "DATA_CID_HERE";

  // Find the result item by data-cid
  const item = document.querySelector(`.gs_r.gs_or.gs_scl[data-cid="${cid}"]`);
  if (!item) return { error: 'not_found', message: 'Paper not found on current page. Try searching again.' };

  const titleEl = item.querySelector('.gs_rt a');
  const title = titleEl?.textContent?.trim() || item.querySelector('.gs_rt')?.textContent?.trim() || '';
  const paperUrl = titleEl?.href || '';

  // Full-text PDF/HTML link (shown on the right side of results)
  const fullTextEl = item.querySelector('.gs_ggs a') || item.querySelector('.gs_or_ggsm a');
  const fullTextUrl = fullTextEl?.href || '';
  const fullTextType = fullTextEl?.querySelector('span.gs_ctg2')?.textContent?.trim() || '';

  // Meta info for context
  const meta = item.querySelector('.gs_a')?.textContent || '';
  const parts = meta.split(' - ');
  const authors = parts[0]?.trim() || '';
  const journalYear = parts[1]?.trim() || '';

  // Try to extract DOI from paper URL
  let doi = '';
  if (paperUrl.includes('doi.org/')) {
    doi = paperUrl.replace(/^https?:\/\/(dx\.)?doi\.org\//, '');
  }

  // Build access links
  const links = {};

  if (fullTextUrl) {
    links.fullText = fullTextUrl;
    links.fullTextType = fullTextType || (fullTextUrl.endsWith('.pdf') ? '[PDF]' : '[HTML]');
  }

  if (paperUrl) {
    links.publisher = paperUrl;
  }

  if (doi) {
    links.doi = `https://doi.org/${doi}`;
    links.scihub = `https://sci-hub.ru/${doi}`;
  } else if (paperUrl) {
    // Sci-Hub also works with direct URLs
    links.scihub = `https://sci-hub.ru/${paperUrl}`;
  }

  return {
    dataCid: cid,
    title,
    authors,
    journalYear,
    doi,
    fullTextUrl,
    fullTextType,
    paperUrl,
    links
  };
}

Step 3: Report

## Full Text Links — {title}

**Authors:** {authors} | {journalYear}

**Direct Full Text:**
{links.fullText ? "- " + links.fullTextType + " " + links.fullText : "No direct full text link available"}

**Publisher Page:**
{links.publisher ? "- " + links.publisher : "N/A"}

**DOI:**
{links.doi ? "- " + links.doi : "No DOI detected"}

**Sci-Hub:**
{links.scihub ? "- " + links.scihub : "N/A"}

Step 4: Open full text (optional)

If the user wants to read the paper immediately, use mcp__chrome-devtools__new_page to open the preferred link in this priority:

fullTextUrl (direct PDF/HTML, usually free)
DOI link (may require subscription)
Sci-Hub link (fallback)
Publisher page

Notes

This skill uses 1-2 tool calls: evaluate_script (if already on results page) or navigate_page + evaluate_script
Google Scholar's full-text links (.gs_ggs) are usually free/open-access PDFs
DOI may not always be extractable from the paper URL
Sci-Hub works with both DOI and direct URL
Opening full text in a new tab adds 1 more tool call (new_page)
