academic-search

academic-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HyunjunJeon/Deepagent-research-context-engineering. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,958 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A search tool for scholarly papers, mainly from arXiv, a free online archive of research papers shared before formal journal publication, and Semantic Scholar.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding papers about artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science, mathematics, physics, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, and related fields.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to find recent research without searching academic repositories one by one.

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

academic-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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (arxiv_search.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.

Academic Search Skill

This skill provides access to academic paper repositories, primarily arXiv, for searching scholarly articles. arXiv is a free distribution service and open-access archive for preprints in physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering, systems science, and economics.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Find cutting-edge research: Access preprints and recent papers before formal journal publication
  • Search AI/ML papers: Find machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence research
  • Explore computational methods: Search for algorithms, theoretical frameworks, and mathematical foundations
  • Research interdisciplinary topics: Find papers spanning computer science, biology, physics, and mathematics
  • Gather literature reviews: Collect relevant papers for comprehensive topic overviews
  • Track state-of-the-art: Find the latest advances in rapidly evolving fields

Ideal Use Cases

Scenario Example Query
Understanding new architectures "transformer attention mechanism"
Exploring applications "large language models code generation"
Finding benchmarks "image classification benchmark ImageNet"
Surveying methods "reinforcement learning robotics"
Technical deep-dives "backpropagation neural networks"

How to Use

The skill provides a Python script that searches arXiv and returns formatted results with titles and abstracts.

Basic Usage

Note: Always use the absolute path from your skills directory.

If running from a virtual environment:

.venv/bin/python [YOUR_SKILLS_DIR]/academic-search/arxiv_search.py "your search query"

Or for system Python:

python3 [YOUR_SKILLS_DIR]/academic-search/arxiv_search.py "your search query"

Replace [YOUR_SKILLS_DIR] with the absolute skills directory path from your system prompt.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

academic-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository HyunjunJeon/Deepagent-research-context-engineering (53 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,958 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
