aminer-deep-search

aminer-deep-search is a command for Claude Code from CanXiangCC/aminer-open-skill. It costs 15 tokens per session (923 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for collecting research papers from AMiner, an academic search platform, through several search rounds.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps collect and screen papers on a specified research topic, with an optional target number and round limit.
Why use it?
It helps gather many relevant papers for a literature survey instead of relying on a single search.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aminer-deep-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

User invoked the AMiner deep paper collection skill with the following arguments:

$ARGUMENTS

Your task

Follow ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/SKILL.md. You are the controller: run the tool scripts, read their JSON output, judge relevance yourself, and iterate. There is no external LLM mode and nothing to configure beyond AMINER_API_KEY.

Gate check first: this command is only for large-scale collection — 50+ candidate papers, survey bibliography construction, or citation snowballing. If the user actually wants a single lookup, a survey-style answer, or a small reading list, say so and point them to aminer-free-academic / aminer-academic-search instead of running the loop.

1. Parse $ARGUMENTS

  • topic: required research topic. Preserve the user's wording. If absent or too vague, ask for a concrete topic.
  • target-size: optional final paper target, default 400.
  • max-rounds: optional round budget, default 12.
  • Structured constraints (all optional): year-from / year-to, venues, authors, orgs, languages, exclude (exclusion terms), sort-goal (latest | impact | classic+latest). Also extract any of these stated in free text.

2. Pre-flight

[ -z "${AMINER_API_KEY:-}" ] && echo "AMINER_API_KEY missing" || echo "AMINER_API_KEY exists"

If missing, stop and tell the user to set AMINER_API_KEY. Never print the key. The scripts are pure stdlib — no dependency installation is needed.

Record the hard constraints so every add enforces them:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/paper_set.py" init --topic "..." \
  --year-from 2020 --year-to 2025 --require-fields year

3. Run the round protocol

Execute the Round Protocol from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/SKILL.md:

  • Round 0: derive 4–8 seed queries, pick the ranking strategy from sort-goal (for classic+latest, run each query under both --order n_citation and --order year), estimate cost; confirm with the user if the estimate is ≥¥5.
  • Each round (max max-rounds): search via python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/aminer_api.py" search --query "..." [--author ... --org ... --venue ... --year-from ... --year-to ...] --order n_citation (use qa-search-pro only for constraints search cannot express: languages, exclusion terms, citation ranges), filter results for relevance yourself, add the kept items via python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/paper_set.py" add --source "search:<query>", snowball with references --ids ... on ≤5 strong unexpanded seeds, check stats, and log the round with log-round --queries ... --added N --rejected R.
  • Stop when target-size is reached, results are exhausted, or 2 consecutive rounds add <5 papers.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
