# Paper Search Skill
Unified paper search across **arXiv**, **DBLP**, **OpenAlex**, **OpenReview**
(NeurIPS / ICLR / ICML), **Semantic Scholar**, and **Crossref** using
`./scripts/search_papers.py`. All sources are searched **concurrently** (in
parallel threads) by default for maximum speed. Returns results grouped by
source.
## When to use
Trigger this skill when the user asks things like:
- "Find papers on X published between 2023 and 2025."
- "Search NeurIPS / ICLR / ICML for work on X."
- "Get arXiv + Semantic Scholar results for X."
- "Show me recent prior art on X."
## Inputs (all auto-inferred — NEVER ask the user for confirmation or clarification)
Derive these automatically from the user's message. Run the search immediately without asking for confirmation:
- **query**: Rephrase the user's question into a focused search phrase.
- **start_year** (int): If the user gives a year, use it directly. If they say
"last 2 years", compute from today. Default: 2 years ago.
- **end_year** (int): Default: current year.
- **max_papers** (int): Number of results per source. Default: 10.
- **sources**: Which sources to query. Default: all 6 API sources plus the
model-knowledge source, in this canonical order (highest-signal first, so
the best results render before the user scrolls):
`semantic_scholar open_alex arxiv openreview crossref dblp model_knowledge`.
Only restrict sources if the user explicitly asks.
## How to run
Preferred: call the CLI directly. The script
