SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of quickly finding and verifying up-to-date scientific and technical information with trustworthy sources and citations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intelligent backend routing: automatically chooses the best research engine for general, deep, or academic paper-focused queries.
  • Evidence-first outputs: returns synthesized research with prioritized sources, citation/DOI extraction, and usage metadata for traceability.
  • Workflow fit for writing: helps draft literature reviews, validate methods, contextualize results, and support arguments with recent evidence.

Quick Start

Ask for a literature update by running: research-lookup "Recent advances in CRISPR gene editing 2024, include key papers with DOIs and citation impact."

Frequently Asked Questions about research-lookup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find recent scientific papers with DOIs for a literature review?

You retrieve current scientific papers with DOIs by querying a research lookup tool that routes requests to academic backends, returning synthesized information, extracted DOIs, and prioritized scholarly source URLs for your literature review.

What is the best way to verify research citations and get traceable sources locally?

The best way to verify research citations locally is using a tool that retrieves current research information and returns evidence-first outputs with prioritized sources, DOIs, and usage metadata for traceability across available backends.

Can I use OpenAI to extract DOIs and scholarly URLs from technical queries?

Yes, you can use OpenAI with available backends like PARALLEL_API_KEY and OPENROUTER_API_KEY to process technical queries, extract DOIs, and return scholarly source URLs while prioritizing citation preservation and source quality.

Does intelligent backend routing improve scientific verification for academic papers?

Intelligent backend routing improves scientific verification by automatically selecting the best research engine for general, deep synthesis, or academic paper-focused queries, ensuring high-quality prioritized sources and accurate citation extraction.

How do I validate methods and contextualize results using recent research evidence?

You validate methods and contextualize results by requesting deep synthesis research on a specific technical query, which returns recent evidence, contextual background data, and prioritized citations to support your arguments.

What are the limitations of using automated research lookup for literature reviews?

Limitations of automated research lookup include dependency on available backend API keys like PARALLEL_API_KEY or OPENROUTER_API_KEY, and the need for YAML-frontmatter-defined routing, which may restrict retrieval if specific academic databases are not configured.
