SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of finding relevant research papers when keyword-based search misses key aliases, subtopics, venues, and related work, especially during early-stage literature exploration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gemini-powered broad discovery: Decomposes a topic into multiple angles and surfaces surveys/reviews, recent papers, and related variants.
  • Structured paper outputs: Returns normalized fields like title, authors, year, venue, arXiv ID, DOI, code URL, and a one-sentence summary.
  • MCP-first with CLI fallback: Prefer mcp__gemini-cli__ask-gemini integration for tool use, with gemini CLI as a resilience fallback.

Use case: you’re planning a thesis or project and want a high-coverage starting set for a niche topic without manually stitching together results from multiple sources.

Quick Start

Use the gemini-search skill to find broad, recent literature for the query "graph attention networks for medical imaging" and return up to 15 papers.

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

Broad literature discovery decomposes a research topic into multiple angles, aliases, and sub-problems to find relevant papers beyond simple keyword matching. This approach surfaces surveys, recent papers, and related variants for your query.

Can I filter literature discovery results to only include papers with open source code?

Yes, literature discovery can optionally prioritize papers with code. The search returns a structured response that includes a specific code URL field for each paper, allowing you to easily identify research with available open source implementations.

What metadata fields are returned for papers found through Gemini-powered search?

Gemini-powered search returns a structured response containing the title, authors, year, venue, arXiv ID, DOI, code URL, and a concise one-sentence summary for each paper. This normalizes outputs for easy comparison.

Do I need a Gemini MCP tool to run broad literature searches or is there a fallback?

You can use either a Gemini MCP tool call or a Gemini CLI fallback to run broad literature searches. The MCP integration is preferred for tool use, but the CLI provides resilience with constraints like MAX_RESULTS and MIN_YEAR.

How do I collect a high-coverage starting set of papers for an early-stage literature review?

To collect a high-coverage starting set for an early-stage literature review, use broad literature discovery to search across multiple angles and venues. You can specify constraints like MAX_RESULTS and MIN_YEAR to filter the returned papers.

What is the best way to search for papers across multiple venues and sub-problems for a thesis?

The best way to find papers across multiple venues and sub-problems is using Gemini-powered broad discovery. It decomposes your thesis topic into related variants and aliases, returning structured fields like arXiv ID and DOI for high coverage.
