aminer-deep-search

aminer-deep-search is a skill for Claude Code from CanXiangCC/aminer-open-skill. It costs 234 tokens per session (3,209 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for collecting many academic papers for a survey or literature review. It expands search terms, judges relevance, and follows backward citations, meaning the sources cited by papers it has already found.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a survey bibliography, expand keywords, and follow references backward to gather candidate papers on a research topic.
Why use it?
A literature review can miss important work when it relies on only one query or search pass. This tool supports repeated discovery and citation-based expansion for a broader candidate collection.

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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/aminer_api.py, scripts/paper_set.py, tests/test_aminer_api.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Host-model-driven survey paper collection. You (the model reading this) are the controller: run the tool scripts, read their JSON output, judge relevance yourself, and iterate until the collection target is met.

Routing (read first)

Task shape Skill
Single lookup answerable by one free API (paper by title, scholar by name, venue/org normalization) aminer-free-academic
Deep analysis of one entity, multi-condition search, or paper collection under ~50 papers aminer-academic-search
Personalized paper recommendations aminer-daily-paper
Large-scale candidate collection (50+ papers), survey bibliography construction, citation snowballing this skill

Do not trigger on the words "survey" / "literature review" alone; trigger on the scale of collection the user actually needs.

Pre-flight

  1. Check the key without printing it:
[ -z "${AMINER_API_KEY:-}" ] && echo "AMINER_API_KEY missing" || echo "AMINER_API_KEY exists"

If missing, stop and ask the user to set AMINER_API_KEY (console: https://open.aminer.cn/open/board?tab=control). Never print the key.

  1. Confirm the topic and the target-size (default 400).

  2. Extract the user's hard constraints — year range, venues, authors, institutions, language, exclusion terms, ranking goal (latest / impact / classic+latest). Record year range and required fields into the state file so add enforces them mechanically:

python3 scripts/paper_set.py init --topic "..." --year-from 2020 --year-to 2025 --require-fields year

Note: AMiner has no document-type filter (journal / conference / preprint); if the user requires one, say so and fall back to post-hoc venue filtering.

  1. If your round plan is estimated to cost ¥5 or more, tell the user the estimate and get confirmation before starting.

Tools

Both scripts live in scripts/ under this skill directory. They print exactly one JSON document to stdout (the tool result); diagnostics and a [cost] line go to stderr. They never score relevance — that is your job.

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.
