Sci Download

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Academic paper search

Example prompts

• “/sci-download”

Requirements

• Python 3
• A credential in YOUR_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 357766f. 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 script files (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • python

  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:

  • fsso.cnki.net

  Also links to:

  • dev.elsevier.com
  • dev.springernature.com
  • developer.ieee.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

Sci Download loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 191 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~48

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~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

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:100

  stored in the unified `~/.aut_sci_write/.env` (auto-created on first use).

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:105

  Edit `~/.aut_sci_write/.env` directly or use the config helper:

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.
