sciatlas-quick-paper-search

sciatlas-quick-paper-search is a skill for Codex from zjunlp/SciAtlas. It costs 82 tokens per session (1,263 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided SciAtlas search for a small, evidence-backed set of research papers. SciAtlas is a paper-search service, and this workflow takes a beginner from setup and registration through retrieval and summary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a quick check of what research exists on a topic, a first-pass paper search, or a retrieval test before doing a larger literature review.
Why use it?
It removes the setup and configuration guesswork involved in getting a first paper search working. It also reads the saved search results and explains any blocker in plain language.

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

sciatlas-quick-paper-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.

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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use this skill to deliver a small, evidence-backed paper search from a blank machine. The only SciAtlas retrieval command allowed in this skill is sciatlas search-papers.

Operating Contract

  • Do not call any SciAtlas downstream, author, support, report, config, health, or skill-management command for retrieval. The only SciAtlas retrieval command allowed is search-papers.
  • Own the end-to-end novice flow: install or locate the CLI, guide registration, configure environment variables, run retrieval, read artifacts, and write the final answer.
  • Run setup commands yourself when tool access is available. Do not ask a novice user to run shell commands unless you are blocked by missing permissions or missing human-only information.
  • Ask the user only for values a program cannot know: email address, verification code, returned API token, or a clarification when the topic is genuinely ambiguous.
  • Never print the full API token in the final answer. Mask it if you must mention it.
  • If any step fails, explain the exact blocker in plain language, fix what you can, and continue until a search-papers run succeeds, the final result is produced, or the user must provide a missing human-only value.

Zero-Start Bootstrap

  1. Check whether the CLI executable exists without invoking a SciAtlas command: use Get-Command sciatlas -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue on Windows PowerShell or command -v sciatlas on macOS/Linux.
  2. If sciatlas is unavailable:
    • If this repository is present, install locally with python -m pip install -e ./sciatlas.
    • Otherwise install from GitHub with python -m pip install "git+https://github.com/zjunlp/SciAtlas.git#subdirectory=sciatlas".
  3. Check whether SCIATLAS_API_KEY is present in the current shell environment.
  4. If no token is configured, guide the user through registration:
    • Open or provide http://sciatlas.openkg.cn/register.
    • Ask the user for the email only if the registration page or flow needs it and you cannot fill it yourself.
    • Ask for the email verification code when it arrives.
    • Ask the user to paste the returned sciatlas_xxx token. The token is shown only once.
  5. Configure the current shell before running retrieval:

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.
