Navigate Google Scholar search result pages. An agent skill from cookjohn/gs-skills.

Works in 4 steps: Calculate new URL → Navigate → Extract results (evaluate_script) → …
User wants to see more results
SKILL.md covers Arguments, Prerequisites, Steps and Notes
Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Gs Navigate Pages is an agent skill from cookjohn/gs-skills. Navigate Google Scholar search result pages. Use when user wants to see more results or go to a specific page.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 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. 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 see more results
Go to a specific page

Example prompts

“/gs-navigate-pages”

Workflow steps

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

Calculate new URL
Navigate
Extract results (evaluate_script)
Report

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
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

Gs Navigate Pages loads about 901 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 173 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~901

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.

Google Scholar Navigate Pages

Navigate search result pages. Requires context from a previous gs-search or gs-advanced-search call.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS can be:

next — go to next page
previous — go to previous page
page N — go to page N

Prerequisites

This skill requires context from a previous search:

currentUrl: the current Google Scholar search URL
page: current page number (1-based)

Steps

1. Calculate new URL

Google Scholar uses start parameter for pagination (0-indexed, increments of 10):

Page 1: start=0 (or omitted)
Page 2: start=10
Page 3: start=20

Based on $ARGUMENTS:

next: newStart = currentStart + 10
previous: newStart = max(0, currentStart - 10)
page N: newStart = (N - 1) * 10

Modify the start parameter in the current search URL. If start doesn't exist in the URL, append &start={newStart}.

2. Navigate

Use mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page with the updated URL.

3. Extract results (evaluate_script)

Same extraction script as gs-search step 2:

javascript

async () => {
  for (let i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
    if (document.querySelector('#gs_res_ccl') || document.querySelector('#gs_captcha_ccl')) break;
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 500));
  }

  if (document.querySelector('#gs_captcha_ccl') || document.body.innerText.includes('unusual traffic')) {
    return { error: 'captcha', message: 'Google Scholar requires CAPTCHA verification. Please complete it in your browser, then tell me to continue.' };
  }

  const items = document.querySelectorAll('#gs_res_ccl .gs_r.gs_or.gs_scl');
  const results = Array.from(items).map((item, i) => {
    const titleEl = item.querySelector('.gs_rt a');
    const meta = item.querySelector('.gs_a')?.textContent || '';
    const parts = meta.split(' - ');
    const authors = parts[0]?.trim() || '';
    const journalYear = parts[1]?.trim() || '';
    const citedByEl = item.querySelector('.gs_fl a[href*="cites"]');

    return {
      n: NEW_START + i + 1,
      title: titleEl?.textContent?.trim() || item.querySelector('.gs_rt')?.textContent?.trim() || '',
      href: titleEl?.href || '',
      authors,
      journalYear,
      citedBy: citedByEl?.textContent?.match(/\d+/)?.[0] || '0',
      citedByUrl: citedByEl?.href || '',
      dataCid: item.getAttribute('data-cid') || '',
      fullTextUrl: (item.querySelector('.gs_ggs a') || item.querySelector('.gs_or_ggsm a'))?.href || '',
      snippet: item.querySelector('.gs_rs')?.textContent?.trim()?.substring(0, 200) || ''
    };
  });

  const totalText = document.querySelector('#gs_ab_md')?.textContent?.trim() || '';
  const hasNext = !!document.querySelector('#gs_n a.gs_ico_nav_next, #gs_nm a:last-child');
  const currentUrl = window.location.href;
  return { total: totalText, page: NEW_PAGE, resultCount: results.length, hasNext, currentUrl, results };
}

Replace NEW_START and NEW_PAGE with the computed values.

4. Report

Page {page} for "{query}" ({total}):

1. {title}
   Authors: {authors} | {journalYear}
   Cited by: {citedBy}
   Data-CID: {dataCid}

2. ...

{hasNext ? "More results available — ask me for the next page." : "No more results."}

Notes

This skill uses 2 tool calls: navigate_page + evaluate_script
Google Scholar shows 10 results per page by default
start parameter controls pagination offset
