sci-searchAcademic paper search and metrics analysis. An agent skill from ShZhao27208/Aut_Sci_Write.
Sci Search is an agent skill from ShZhao27208/Aut_Sci_Write. Academic paper search and metrics analysis. Searches arXiv, PubMed, Web of Science, Springer Nature, Scopus, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex simultaneously with journal impact factor data. Triggers on requests to search for papers or find literature.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `_meta.json`, `journal_db.json` and `sci_search.py`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search. It works with Semantic Scholar, arXiv and PubMed. The repository describes itself as: Academic research skills suite for AI Agent — literature search/download (WoS+Elsevier+Springer), PDF extraction, figure cropping, review writing, Zotero sync, and PPT/Html… The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 357766f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
developer.clarivate.comdev.springernature.comdev.elsevier.comsemanticscholar.orgFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
SPRINGER_API_KEYSPRINGER_OA_API_KEYSCOPUS_API_KEYWOS_API_KEYSEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEYNCBI_API_KEYZOTERO_API_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Sci Search loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 583 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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

The WoS Starter API is free to apply for and provides access to the Web of Science Core Collection — the most authoritative index of SCI/SSCI journals.
The Springer Nature API provides two separate endpoints:
1. Metadata API (/meta/v2/json) — metadata for all Springer Nature content (journals + books).
Add SPRINGER_API_KEY to ~/.aut_sci_write/.env:
SPRINGER_API_KEY=your_springer_api_key2. Open Access API (/openaccess/json) — full-text OA content from BMC, SpringerOpen, Nature OA articles.
Add SPRINGER_OA_API_KEY to ~/.aut_sci_write/.env (falls back to SPRINGER_API_KEY if not set):
SPRINGER_OA_API_KEY=your_oa_api_keyApply for free API keys at: https://dev.springernature.com/
Use --source springer for both, --source springer_meta for metadata only, or --source springer_oa for Open Access only.
Add SCOPUS_API_KEY to ~/.aut_sci_write/.env to enable Scopus search:

The Scopus Search API covers 90M+ records across science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts & humanities. Requires institutional affiliation for full access.

Academic paper search and metrics analysis. An agent skill from ShZhao27208/Aut_Sci_Write. Sci Search is an agent skill from ShZhao27208/Aut_Sci_Write. Academic paper search and metrics analysis.
Sci Search fits situations like: requests to search for papers; find literature.
Run `npx skills add ShZhao27208/Aut_Sci_Write --skill sci-search -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/sci-search in ShZhao27208/Aut_Sci_Write) into .claude/skills/sci-search in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ShZhao27208/Aut_Sci_Write --skill sci-search -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/sci-search in ShZhao27208/Aut_Sci_Write) into .agents/skills/sci-search in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ShZhao27208/Aut_Sci_Write --skill sci-search -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/sci-search, .gemini/skills/sci-search, .github/skills/sci-search and .opencode/skills/sci-search in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Sci Search needs Python for the scripts in its folder, the command-line tools its instructions call (python) and credentials named SPRINGER_API_KEY, SPRINGER_OA_API_KEY, SCOPUS_API_KEY and WOS_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in WOS_API_KEY; A credential in SPRINGER_API_KEY.
SKILL.md names 4 domains. As links in the text: developer.clarivate.com, dev.springernature.com, dev.elsevier.com and semanticscholar.org. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Sci Search is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Sci Search: Literature Review (neflibata-feng/MyArxiv-Agent, 126 stars), Paper Search (openags/paper-search-mcp, 2.8k stars), Nature Academic Search (wp-a/nature-academic-search, 304 stars) and Paper Search (openags/paper-search-mcp, 2.8k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
