What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
arxiv-search
Single-machine academic paper search and PDF handling for any research field. Searches arXiv and Semantic Scholar without an API key, with DuckDuckGo as a web fallback, and extracts/downloads PDFs locally. MCP servers (arxiv-mcp-server, Ai2 Asta) are used when available. Use for quick, focused lookups in any discipline; for a broad multi-database sweep use scholar-megasearch instead.

scholar-megasearch
Massive multi-source academic literature search via subagent orchestration. Fans out parallel searchers across every available scholarly source — arXiv, Semantic Scholar, Crossref, OpenAlex, PubMed/PMC, bioRxiv/medRxiv, DOAJ, CORE, BASE, DBLP, IACR, SSRN, Zenodo, Unpaywall, plus web/GitHub — then deduplicates by DOI/arXiv-id/title into one ranked corpus and synthesizes it.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
