At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the user asks about highly cited papers, citation rankings, or updating citation counts from external APIs.

  • The user asks about highly cited papers
  • SKILL.md covers 执行逻辑 and 示例
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Citation rankings

What it does

Citations is an agent skill from ZimoLiao/scholaraio. Use when the user asks about highly cited papers, citation rankings, or updating citation counts from external APIs.

Its SKILL.md is about 180 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 Citation management. The repository describes itself as: Scholar All-In-One: A research infrastructure for AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about highly cited papers
  • Citation rankings
  • Updating citation counts from external APIs

Example prompts

  • “/citations”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 777628b. 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 bash).

    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

Citations loads about 177 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 29 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
~177

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.
