dotclaude: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/scholar/SKILL.md

scholar is a skill for Claude Code from akapet00/dotclaude. It costs 56 tokens per session (196 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research tool for finding and examining academic papers through Semantic Scholar, a searchable database of research articles, authors, citations, and related work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for papers or authors, inspect citations and references, find related literature, identify duplicate author records, and export BibTeX references.
Why use it?
It avoids manually searching several sources and assembling paper details, references, and citation information yourself.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is akapet00/dotclaude's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dotclaude itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dotclaude configures →

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

scholar 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/_common.py, scripts/authors.py, scripts/export.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Search, analyze, and export academic papers using the Semantic Scholar API.

Before acting, read the relevant doc for the task:

  • Paper search/details/citations/references/recommendations: docs/PAPERS.md
  • Author search/details/top papers/duplicates: docs/AUTHORS.md
  • BibTeX export and paper tracking: docs/EXPORT.md

Run scripts from this skill's directory: uv run scripts/<name>.py <subcommand> [args]

If the environment uses a TLS-intercepting corporate proxy and normal TLS verification fails, retry with DISABLE_SSL_VERIFY=1 only after telling the user why.

Files

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
