SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, openai, python-dotenv, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It removes the manual effort of searching across papers, journals, and web sources by routing research questions to the best available backend and returning a cited, organized summary.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Current Research Lookup: Finds recent studies, technical information, and background evidence for scientific and general research questions.
  • Academic Paper Search: Prioritizes scholarly sources, DOI references, venue quality, and citation-rich results when the query is paper-focused.
  • Deep Research Routing: Switches between fast web search, deeper multi-source synthesis, and academic search depending on the query and available APIs.
  • Use Case: Use it to verify a claim, gather literature for a review, compare methods, or collect sources for scientific writing without manually juggling multiple research tools.

Quick Start

Ask the research-lookup skill to find the latest evidence on your topic and return the strongest sources with citations.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-lookup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find reliable academic papers and citations for a literature review?

Academic paper search prioritizes scholarly sources, DOI references, and citation-rich results. You can gather literature for a review by asking the tool to find the strongest sources with citations for your specific topic.

How does deep research synthesis work for verifying technical claims?

Deep research synthesis switches between fast web search, deeper multi-source synthesis, and academic search depending on the query. It routes technical verification questions to the best available backend and returns a cited, organized summary.

Do I need API keys to perform scholarly search and retrieve research evidence?

Optional API keys are supported to enable deeper multi-source synthesis and academic search routing. The tool can retrieve current research evidence and citations using available backends, with optional API keys enhancing the search depth.

What is the best way to collect sources for scientific writing without juggling multiple research tools?

The best way to collect sources for scientific writing is to route research questions to a single backend that returns a cited, organized summary. This removes the manual effort of searching across papers, journals, and web sources.

Can I preserve research lookup results for reproducible research workflows?

Yes, result preservation is required for reproducible research workflows. The tool retrieves current research evidence and citations, ensuring that your literature lookup, paper discovery, and technical verification processes are saved.

Are there limitations to research lookup when backend routing or dependencies are unavailable?

Research lookup requires backend routing, citation extraction, and dependencies like requests and openai. If these are unavailable or optional API keys are missing, the tool may be limited to fast web search instead of deeper multi-source academic synthesis.
