SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

You need broad, up-to-date research paper discovery that goes beyond keyword-only results from arXiv or Semantic Scholar.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AI-powered literature discovery: Uses Gemini to decompose your topic into sub-problems and naming variants to surface relevant papers you might miss with traditional indexes.
  • Structured paper outputs: Produces a consistent list of papers including title, authors, year, venue, arXiv ID, DOI, code link, and a one-sentence contribution summary.
  • MCP-first execution with fallback: Tries Gemini via the Claude Code MCP tool first and falls back to the Gemini CLI if MCP is unavailable.

Use Case: You’re exploring a research direction (e.g., “efficient diffusion transformers for medical imaging”) and want a diverse shortlist of recent papers, surveys, and code-enabled work across multiple angles.

Quick Start

Ask for paper discovery by saying: /gemini-search "your research topic" — year: 2022-

Frequently Asked Questions about gemini-search

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find research papers beyond simple keyword matching on arXiv?

To find research papers beyond simple keyword matching, this AI-powered literature discovery decomposes topics into sub-problems and naming variants, returning a structured list of candidate papers with summaries and metadata.

Can I search for open source code included with research papers?

Yes, you can search for open source code included with research papers. The discovery process identifies code-enabled work and returns a normalized output list containing the specific code URL for relevant candidate papers.

How do I get a structured list of research papers with arXiv ID and DOI for exploratory research?

You get a structured list of research papers with arXiv ID and DOI by providing a broad research topic. The output normalizes title, authors, year, venue, arXiv ID, DOI, code link, and a one-sentence contribution summary.

Does literature discovery work with the Gemini CLI if MCP is unavailable?

Literature discovery works with the Gemini CLI if MCP is unavailable. The execution path tries the Claude Code MCP tool first and automatically falls back to the Gemini CLI to ensure continuous research search functionality.

What is the best way to discover survey papers and benchmarking starting points for a new research direction?

The best way to discover survey papers and benchmarking starting points is using AI-powered search to surface diverse shortlists across multiple angles. It handles exploratory queries to return recent papers and surveys beyond traditional indexes.

How do I filter literature discovery results by year and publication venues?

To filter literature discovery results by year and venues, you parse arguments within your query. You can specify year ranges like 2022- and target specific venues to constrain the returned structured multi-attribute list of candidate papers.
