Nature Academic Search is an agent skill from wp-a/nature-academic-search. Use when users ask to 找文献、做文献检索、查论文、查临床试验、核验引用、去重文献、设计 PubMed/MeSH 检索式、追踪上下游引文、解析 DOI/PMID/PMCID/arXiv/OpenAlex/Semantic Scholar/NCT ID, 或导出 RIS、BibTeX、NBIB、ENW;also use for multi-source academic search, citation verification, citation graphs, trial registration search, research workflows, or DeepSeek Harness academic-search MCP setup.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 177 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`, `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` and `.github/dependabot.yml`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search. It works with arXiv, PubMed, Model Context Protocol and DeepSeek. The repository describes itself as: Academic Paper Search:中文科研用户的 Codex / Claude Code / DeepSeek Harness Skill + MCP;跨 CrossRef、PubMed、arXiv、OpenAlex、Europe PMC 检索去重,支持 MeSH、引用核验、引文图谱、试验检索与审计导出。 The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
Citation verification
Citation graphs
Trial registration search
Research workflows
Example prompts
“/nature-academic-search”
Requirements
A credential in ACADEMIC_SEARCH_LLM_API_KEY
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 725c2ec. 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 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
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:
api.wpironman.top
Also links to:
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
ACADEMIC_SEARCH_LLM_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Nature Academic Search loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 329 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Always· name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs· the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references· SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~14k
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

How do I install Nature Academic Search in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add wp-a/nature-academic-search --skill nature-academic-search -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (the wp-a/nature-academic-search repository) into .claude/skills/nature-academic-search in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Nature Academic Search in Codex?
Run `npx skills add wp-a/nature-academic-search --skill nature-academic-search -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (the wp-a/nature-academic-search repository) into .agents/skills/nature-academic-search in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Nature Academic Search in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add wp-a/nature-academic-search --skill nature-academic-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/nature-academic-search, .gemini/skills/nature-academic-search, .github/skills/nature-academic-search and .opencode/skills/nature-academic-search in your project.
What does Nature Academic Search need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Nature Academic Search needs credentials named ACADEMIC_SEARCH_LLM_API_KEY. Our summary lists: A credential in ACADEMIC_SEARCH_LLM_API_KEY.
Does Nature Academic Search access the network?
SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: api.wpironman.top; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Nature Academic Search safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Nature Academic Search use?
Nature Academic Search is published under the MIT licence (from the LICENSE file in the skill folder). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Nature Academic Search use?
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 12k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Nature Academic Search?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Nature Academic Search: Nature Academic Search (jing1312/nature-figure-skill, 171 stars), Ai4scholar Research (Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit, 139 stars), Paper Search (openags/paper-search-mcp, 2.8k stars) and Paper Search (openags/paper-search-mcp, 2.8k stars).
