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.
