Cnki Search

CNKI Basic Search

RC browser tool: navigate with browser action=open url="..."; run the JS in each step via browser action=act kind=evaluate fn="<the async function shown>" (the whole function body goes into fn). Never pass a profile — RC uses its default managed Chrome (CDP 18800).

Search CNKI for papers using keyword(s). Returns result count and structured result list (titles, URLs, authors, journal, date) in a single call.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS contains the search keyword(s) in Chinese or English.

Steps

1. Navigate

Use browser action=open → https://kns.cnki.net/kns8s/search

2. Search + extract results (single browser act kind=evaluate, NO wait_for)

Replace YOUR_KEYWORDS with actual search terms:

async () => {
  const query = "YOUR_KEYWORDS";

  // Wait for search input (replaces wait_for)
  await new Promise((r, j) => {
    let n = 0;
    const c = () => { if (document.querySelector('input.search-input')) r(); else if (++n > 30) j('timeout'); else setTimeout(c, 500); };
    c();
  });

  // Check captcha (only if visible on screen, not hidden SDK at top:-1000000)
  const outer = document.querySelector('#tcaptcha_transform_dy');
  if (outer && outer.getBoundingClientRect().top >= 0) return { error: 'captcha' };

  // Fill and submit (verified selectors: input.search-input, input.search-btn)
  const input = document.querySelector('input.search-input');
  input.value = query;
  input.dispatchEvent(new Event('input', { bubbles: true }));
  document.querySelector('input.search-btn')?.click();

  // Wait for results
  await new Promise((r, j) => {
    let n = 0;
    const c = () => { if (document.body.innerText.includes('条结果')) r(); else if (++n > 30) j('timeout'); else setTimeout(c, 500); };
    c();
  });

  // Check captcha again
  const outer2 = document.querySelector('#tcaptcha_transform_dy');
  if (outer2 && outer2.getBoundingClientRect().top >= 0) return { error: 'captcha' };

  // Extract current page results (merged parse-results)
  const rows = document.querySelectorAll('.result-table-list tbody tr');
  const checkboxes = document.querySelectorAll('.result-table-list tbody input.cbItem');
  const results = Array.from(rows).map((row, i) => {
    const titleLink = row.querySelector('td.name a.fz14');
    const authors = Array.from(row.querySelectorAll('td.author a.KnowledgeNetLink') || []).map(a => a.innerText?.trim());
    const journal = row.querySelector('td.source a')?.innerText?.trim() || '';
    const date = row.querySelector('td.date')?.innerText?.trim() || '';
    const database = row.querySelector('td.data')?.innerText?.trim() || '';
    const citations = row.querySelector('td.quote')?.innerText?.trim() || '';
    const downloads = row.querySelector('td.download')?.innerText?.trim() || '';
    const isOnlineFirst = !!row.querySelector('td.name .marktip');
    return {
      n: i + 1,
      title: titleLink?.innerText?.trim() || '',
      href: titleLink?.href || '',
      exportId: checkboxes[i]?.value || '',
      authors: authors.join('; '),
      journal,
      date,
      database,
      citations,
      downloads,
      isOnlineFirst
    };
  });

  return {
    query,
    total: document.querySelector('.pagerTitleCell')?.innerText?.match(/([\d,]+)/)?.[1] || '0',
    page: document.querySelector('.countPageMark')?.innerText || '1/1',
    results
  };
}

3. Report

Present results as a numbered list:

Searched CNKI for "$ARGUMENTS": found {total} results (page {page}).

1. {title}
   Authors: {authors} | Journal: {journal} | Date: {date}
   Citations: {citations} | Downloads: {downloads}

2. ...

4. Follow-up: navigate to a paper

When the user wants to open or download a specific paper, use browser action=open with the result's href URL directly — do NOT click the link (clicking opens a new tab and wastes 3 extra tool calls for tab management).

Captcha detection

Check #tcaptcha_transform_dy element's getBoundingClientRect().top >= 0. Tencent captcha SDK preloads DOM at top: -1000000px (off-screen, not active). Only return error: 'captcha' when top >= 0 (actually visible to user).

Verified selectors

Batch export to Zotero

When user wants to save results to Zotero, use batch export directly from the results page — do NOT navigate to each detail page. The exportId in results equals the detail page's #export-id. Call cnki-export skill with batch mode (Step 1B). See cnki-export SKILL.md for details.

Tool calls: 2 (navigate + browser act kind=evaluate)
