Low-latency academic paper discovery for search-bar queries. Infer hidden entities, use one logical batch through the installed web-search skill to resolve likely paper titles, run one bounded PaperHub keyword/title/citation graph, and return up to 20 precision-first papers in metadata.json. Use when a user or product needs the Veryfast paper-search workflow rather than iterative literature research.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Fast Search Return up to 20 relevant papers in `metadata.json`, aiming for a useful, well-covered result within the search budget. A short or empty result under a hard publication window is a last-resort outcome, not the target. This skill exposes exactly one workflow: Veryfast. It does not perform iterative gap filling or generate a narrative report. Never persist a paper abstract. Abstracts may be used transiently inside the single runner process for relevance scoring, but `metadata.json`, session state, round traces, plans, caches, and diagnostic artifacts must omit the `abstract` field and its text. Do not copy an abstract into another field. ## Paths and connectivity 1. `SKILL_DIR` is the absolute directory containing this file. Use absolute paths for bundled tools. 2. `WORK_DIR` is the user's current working directory. Write results only under `WORK_DIR/fast-search-results/<short-topic>/`; append a timestamp rather than overwrite existing results. The one transient structured plan may be a hidden sibling under `WORK_DIR`; the runner consumes it after success. 3. PaperHub authentication comes only from `SCHOLARSEED_API_KEY`; configuration is …

How to install
mdr add alibaba-damo-academy/scholarseed/fast-search@sha256:afafef20d22571abThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
