SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of finding a broad set of relevant research papers when standard keyword search or single-source indexes miss important variants, related subtopics, and venue-specific literature.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Broad literature discovery with Gemini: Generates comprehensive paper lists by decomposing a topic into sub-problems and naming variants, not just exact keyword matches.
  • Structured paper results: Returns a consistent set of fields (title, authors, year, venue, IDs, DOI, code link, and a one-sentence summary) suitable for downstream review and synthesis.
  • MCP-first execution with CLI fallback: Uses mcp__gemini-cli__ask-gemini when available, and falls back to gemini -p with a timeout if MCP is not configured.

Quick Start

Ask for paper discovery by running: Use /gemini-search "your research topic" to get a numbered list of relevant papers with structured metadata.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find relevant research papers when keyword search misses related subtopics?

AI-driven literature discovery solves this by decomposing a topic into sub-problems and naming variants, returning a broader set of relevant research papers than standard keyword search.

How do I get structured metadata for research papers during literature discovery?

Structured paper results provide a consistent set of fields including title, authors, year, venue, IDs, DOI, code link, and a one-sentence summary for each discovered paper.

Can I use this AI literature discovery tool without the Gemini MCP tool configured?

Yes, the tool uses MCP-first execution but automatically falls back to the gemini CLI command with a 120-second timeout when the MCP tool is unavailable.

What is the best way to discover code-aware research papers for a survey?

Broad literature discovery with Gemini generates comprehensive paper lists by decomposing topics into sub-problems, making it ideal for surveys, related-work mining, and code-aware paper discovery.

Does AI-driven literature discovery return arXiv IDs and DOIs for the papers it finds?

Yes, the structured paper results include specific identifiers such as arXiv IDs and DOIs, alongside authors, year, venue, and code links for each discovered paper.
