What problem does it solve?

This skill lets researchers locate, compare, and read academic papers from multiple sources with a guided workflow that disambiguates queries, discovers candidate papers, evaluates relevance, and reads with structured notes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-source discovery: search Semantic Scholar, arXiv fallback, HuggingFace, and GitHub for broad coverage and recent work.
  • Structured evaluation: rate and filter results by recency, venue, and citations; compare papers side-by-side.
  • Reading guidance: provide reading depth guidance and generate notes using a reusable template to accelerate understanding.
  • Use Case: a researcher wants a quick set of 10–20 recent papers on a topic, with TLDRs and arXiv/DOI IDs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search for academic papers across arXiv and Semantic Scholar?

You can search for academic papers across arXiv and Semantic Scholar using a multi-source discovery workflow that queries Semantic Scholar with an API key and falls back to arXiv. It returns machine-readable data and human-friendly Markdown with TLDRs and citation counts.

What is the best way to find recent papers on HuggingFace and GitHub?

Finding recent papers on HuggingFace and GitHub involves using a multi-source discovery workflow that queries these platforms directly for newer work alongside traditional academic databases. It returns structured metadata including citations and venue details for evaluation.

How do I evaluate and compare academic papers by citations and venue?

Evaluating and comparing academic papers by citations and venue uses a structured evaluation workflow that filters search results by recency, venue, and citation count. This allows you to compare candidate papers side-by-side to determine relevance.

Do I need an API key to search Semantic Scholar for papers?

You need an API key to search Semantic Scholar for papers using its full capabilities, but the workflow provides an arXiv fallback for queries without one. It applies rate-limited API calls with key-based gating to manage access.

Can I generate reading notes and a reading plan for academic papers?

You can generate reading notes and a reading plan for academic papers using the reading guidance workflow. It provides reading depth guidance and generates structured notes using a reusable template to accelerate understanding of the discovered literature.

How do I get a quick list of 10 to 20 trending papers on a specific topic?

Getting a quick list of 10 to 20 trending papers on a specific topic uses the quick and trending workflows within the discovery process. It coordinates script-driven discovery to return a concise set of recent papers with relevant metadata.
