om-scogo Literature Search
Search multiple academic databases to find relevant papers.
Input
$ARGUMENTS— The search query (natural language)
Scripts
Semantic Scholar (primary — best for ML/AI, has BibTeX)
python ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/scripts/search_semantic_scholar.py \
--query "QUERY" --max-results 20 --year-range 2022-2026 \
--api-key "$(grep S2_API_Key /Users/lingzhi/Code/keys.md 2>/dev/null | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' ')" \
-o results_s2.jsonl
Key flags: --peer-reviewed-only, --top-conferences, --min-citations N, --venue NeurIPS ICML
arXiv (latest preprints)
python ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/scripts/search_arxiv.py \
--query "QUERY" --max-results 10 -o results_arxiv.jsonl
OpenAlex (broadest coverage, free, no API key)
python ~/.claude/skills/literature-search/scripts/search_openalex.py \
--query "QUERY" --max-results 20 --year-range 2022-2026 \
--min-citations 5 -o results_openalex.jsonl
Merge & Deduplicate
python ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/scripts/paper_db.py merge \
--inputs results_s2.jsonl results_arxiv.jsonl results_openalex.jsonl \
--output merged.jsonl
CrossRef (DOI-based lookup, broadest type coverage)
python ~/.claude/skills/literature-search/scripts/search_crossref.py \
--query "QUERY" --rows 10 --output results_crossref.jsonl
Key flags: --bibtex (output .bib format), --rows N
Download arXiv Source (get .tex files)
python ~/.claude/skills/literature-search/scripts/download_arxiv_source.py \
--title "Paper Title" --output-dir arxiv_papers/
Key flags: --arxiv-id 1706.03762, --metadata, --max-results N
Generate BibTeX from results
python ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/scripts/bibtex_manager.py \
--jsonl merged.jsonl --output references.bib
Workflow
- Expand the user's query into 2-4 complementary search queries
- Run Semantic Scholar search (primary) with expanded queries
- Run arXiv for very recent preprints (< 3 months)
- Optionally run OpenAlex for broader coverage
- Merge and deduplicate results
- Rank by: citations (0.3) + recency (0.3) + venue quality (0.2) + relevance (0.2)
- Present structured results table
Venue Quality Tiers
Tier 1: NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, KDD, AAAI, IJCAI, SIGIR, WWW
Tier 2: AISTATS, UAI, COLT, COLING, EACL, WACV, JMLR, TACL
Tier 3: Workshops, arXiv preprints — mark with (preprint)
Output Format
Present results as a table + detailed entries with BibTeX keys. Always note preprint status.
