Use when searching academic papers, looking up citations, finding authors, or getting paper recommendations using the Semantic Scholar API. Triggers on queries about research papers, academic search, citation analysis, or literature discovery.
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
# Semantic Scholar Search Workflow Search academic papers via the Semantic Scholar API using a structured 4-phase workflow. **Critical rule:** NEVER make multiple sequential Bash calls for API requests. Always write ONE Python script that runs all searches, then execute it once. All rate limiting is handled inside `s2.py` automatically. ## Phase 1: Understand & Plan Parse the user's intent and choose a search strategy: ### Decision Tree > **Default to `search_bulk()`.** Per Semantic Scholar's own docs, bulk search is preferred over relevance search for most cases because relevance search is more resource-intensive. Use `search_relevance()` only when you need TLDR fields or author/citation details inline. | User wants... | Strategy | Function | | --------------- | ---------- | ---------- | | Broad topic exploration | Bulk search (preferred) | `search_bulk()` with `build_bool_query()` | | Need TLDR / inline author details | Relevance search | `search_relevance()` | | Precise technical terms, exact phrases | Bulk search with boolean operators | `search_bulk()` with `build_bool_query()` | | Specific passages or methods | Snippet search | `search_snippets()` | …

How to install
mdr add agents365-ai/365-skills/semanticscholar-skill@sha256:aad368d6e65152d8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.ee5e382, 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.
