What this skill does


# Literature Search

Search multiple academic databases to find relevant papers.

## Input

- `$ARGUMENTS` — The search query (natural language)

## Scripts

### Semantic Scholar (primary — best for ML/AI, has BibTeX)
```bash
python ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/scripts/search_semantic_scholar.py \
  --query "QUERY" --max-results 20 --year-range 2022-2026 \
  --api-key "$(grep S2_API_Key /Users/lingzhi/Code/keys.md 2>/dev/null | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' ')" \
  -o results_s2.jsonl
```

Key flags: `--peer-reviewed-only`, `--top-conferences`, `--min-citations N`, `--venue NeurIPS ICML`

### arXiv (latest preprints)
```bash
python ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/scripts/search_arxiv.py \
  --query "QUERY" --max-results 10 -o results_arxiv.jsonl
```

### OpenAlex (broadest coverage, free, no API key)
```bash
python ~/.claude/skills/literature-search/scripts/search_openalex.py \
  --query "QUERY" --max-results 20 --year-range 2022-2026 \
  --min-citations 5 -o results_openalex.jsonl
```

### Merge & Deduplicate
```bash
python ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/scripts/paper_db.py merge \
  --inputs results_s2.jsonl results_arxiv.jsonl results_openalex.jsonl \
  --output merged.jsonl
```

### CrossRef (DOI-based lookup, broadest type coverage)
```bash
python ~/.claude/skills/literature-search/scripts/search_crossref.py \
  --query "QUERY" --rows 10 --output results_crossref.jsonl
```

Key flags: `--bibtex` (output .bib format), `--rows N`

### Download arXiv Source (get .tex files)
```bash
python ~/.claude/skills/literature-search/scripts/download_arxiv_source.py \
  --title "Paper Title" --output-dir arxiv_papers/
```

Key flags: `--arxiv-id 1706.03762`, `--metadata`, `--max-results N`

### Generate BibTeX from results
```bash
python ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/scripts/bibtex_manager.py \
  --jsonl merged.jsonl --output references.bib
```

## Workflow

1. Expand the user's query into 2-4 complementary search queries
2. Run Semantic Scholar search (primary) with expanded queries
3. Run arXiv for very recent preprints (< 3 months)
4. Optionally run OpenAlex for broader coverage
5. Merge and deduplicate results
6. Rank by: citations (0.3) + recency (0.3) + venue quality (0.2) + relevance (0.2)
7. Present structured results table

## Venue Quality Tiers

**Tier 1:** NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, KDD, AAAI, IJCAI, SIGIR, WWW
**Tier 2:** AISTATS, UAI, COLT, COLING, EACL, WACV, JMLR, TACL
**Tier 3:** Workshops, arXiv preprints — mark with `(preprint)`

## Output Format

Present results as a table + detailed entries with BibTeX keys. Always note preprint status.
