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.
