At a glance
Fetches the full record for a paper from Web of Science by its WoS accession number or URL and presents the metadata as a structured summary.
- Works in 4 steps: Parse Input → Navigate → Extract Full Record Data → …
- Looking up the abstract, authors and citation counts for a known WoS record
- SKILL.md covers Steps, Key CSS Selectors (Full Record… and Notes
- Reaches webofscience.com
What it does
Given a WoS accession number or a full-record URL, the skill opens the full record page through Chrome DevTools MCP and runs a single extraction script inside the page. Using the page's CSS selectors it reads the title, authors, abstract, source, DOI, author keywords and Keywords Plus, citation counts, reference count, publication details, journal impact factor and full-text links.
The result is formatted as a structured summary, followed by suggestions to export the paper or download its PDF with the companion /wos-export and /wos-download commands. The skill warns that the full record page uses different citation selectors from the search results page, and that the source field has to be split so the journal-metrics popup text is not captured. It needs a browser session that can open Web of Science.
When your agent uses it
- Looking up the abstract, authors and citation counts for a known WoS record
- Getting a paper's DOI, keywords and journal impact factor from its full record
- Preparing to export or download a paper found in an earlier WoS search
Example prompts
- “Get the full details for WOS:000779183600001.”
- “Open this Web of Science full-record link and summarize the paper's metadata.”
- “What are the impact factor and times-cited counts for that paper?”
Requirements
- Chrome DevTools MCP
- A browser session that can open Web of Science
Workflow steps

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 268b139. 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:
webofscience.com
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
Web of Science Paper Details loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 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 224 words (~2,165 tokens).
