SciAtlas Trend Report

Use this skill to build a trend report from search-papers evidence only.

Operating Contract

• Do not call any SciAtlas downstream command. 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, inspect artifacts, and write the trend report.
• Ask the user only for email, verification code, token, or the desired time range if it is essential.
• Do not ask the user to run shell commands when tool access is available.
• Do not reveal the full token.

Zero-Start Bootstrap

1. Check whether the sciatlas executable exists without invoking a SciAtlas command: use Get-Command sciatlas -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue on Windows PowerShell or command -v sciatlas on macOS/Linux. Install if needed with python -m pip install -e ./sciatlas or python -m pip install "git+https://github.com/zjunlp/SciAtlas.git#subdirectory=sciatlas".
2. If there is no SCIATLAS_API_KEY, guide registration at http://sciatlas.openkg.cn/register, asking for email/code/token only when needed.
3. Configure:

$env:SCIATLAS_API_BASE_URL = "http://sciatlas.openkg.cn"
$env:SCIATLAS_API_KEY = "<token>"
setx SCIATLAS_API_BASE_URL "http://sciatlas.openkg.cn"
setx SCIATLAS_API_KEY "<token>"

export SCIATLAS_API_BASE_URL="http://sciatlas.openkg.cn"
export SCIATLAS_API_KEY="<token>"

1. Use search-papers --top-k 1 as the only token smoke test if needed.

Search Plan

Run only search-papers. Use a time range whenever possible:

sciatlas search-papers --retrieval-mode hybrid --query "<topic>" --time-range "<start-end>" --keyword "high:<core topic>" --top-k 12 --top-keywords 0 --max-titles 0 --max-refs 0 --bias-citation high --bias-exploration middle --ranking-profile impact --report-max-items 12

If the user asks for "recent trends", default to the last five complete years unless the current year matters.
