gemini-search

gemini-search is a skill for Claude Code from raja21068/AutoResearch. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,401 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gemini-search, MIT.

A research-paper search workflow that uses Gemini for broad literature discovery. It is intended to find papers beyond standard indexes such as arXiv, which hosts openly shared research preprints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover research papers across multiple angles, especially for newer or broadly defined academic topics.
Why use it?
It helps find relevant papers when different names, related topics, or sub-problems might be missed by a simple keyword search.

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

gemini-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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to gemini-search — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Role & Positioning

This skill uses Gemini as a broad literature discovery source:

Skill Source Best for
/arxiv arXiv API Latest preprints, cutting-edge unrefereed work
/semantic-scholar Semantic Scholar API Published venue papers (IEEE, ACM, Springer) with citation counts
/deepxiv DeepXiv CLI Layered reading: search, brief, section map, section reads
/exa-search Exa API Broad web search: blogs, docs, news, companies, research papers
/gemini-search Gemini MCP / CLI AI-powered broad literature discovery — searches across multiple angles, aliases, and sub-problems

Use Gemini when you want AI-driven discovery that goes beyond keyword matching — Gemini decomposes topics into sub-problems, explores naming variants, and surfaces papers that traditional API searches may miss.

Constants

  • MAX_RESULTS = 15 — Target number of papers Gemini should find.
  • MIN_YEAR = 2022 — Default minimum publication year. Override with — year: 2020-.
  • DEFAULT_MODEL = gemini-3-pro-preview — Strongest available Gemini option (Gemini 3 Pro). Requires gemini-cli v0.40+ and mcp__gemini-cli__ask-gemini accepting Gemini 3 aliases (verified). Override with — model: gemini-3-flash-preview (Gemini 3 Flash, faster, higher quota), — model: auto-gemini-3 (auto-routes inside the Gemini 3 family by load), or — model: gemini-2.5-pro / gemini-2.5-flash (legacy, for users on older gemini-cli < v0.40). The MCP tool accepts all of these verbatim.

Overrides (append to arguments):

  • /gemini-search "topic" — max: 20 — request up to 20 papers
  • /gemini-search "topic" — year: 2020- — papers from 2020 onward
  • /gemini-search "topic" — code-only — only papers with open-source code
  • /gemini-search "topic" — venues: NeurIPS,ICML,ICLR — focus on specific venues
  • /gemini-search "topic" — model: gemini-3-flash-preview — Gemini 3 Flash (faster, higher quota, less capable than Pro)
  • /gemini-search "topic" — model: auto-gemini-3 — auto-routes within the Gemini 3 family by load
  • /gemini-search "topic" — model: gemini-2.5-pro — legacy (only if your gemini-cli < v0.40)
