Add abstracts to .bib file entries by searching academic databases (arXiv, Semantic Scholar, CrossRef) with browser fallback.
Add abstracts to .bib file entries by searching academic databases (arXiv, Semantic Scholar, CrossRef) with browser fallback.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Automatically fetch and add abstracts to BibTeX entries.
Given a .bib file, this skill will: Parse each BibTeX entry Search for the abstract using multiple sources: arXiv API (for arXiv papers) Semantic Scholar API CrossRef API OpenAlex API If APIs fail: Use browser automation to search Google Scholar Add abstract={...} to each entry Return the complete modified .bib file
# Process a bib file (API-based) python3 {baseDir}/scripts/add_abstracts.py input.bib > output.bib
arXiv API: http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?search_query=... Semantic Scholar: https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/search?query=... CrossRef: https://api.crossref.org/works?query.title=... OpenAlex: https://api.openalex.org/works?search=...
When APIs fail to find an abstract, use Chrome browser relay like a real person:
# Check if tab is attached browser action=tabs profile=chrome # If no tabs, ask user to click the Clawdbot Browser Relay toolbar icon # Or use mac-control skill to auto-click it
browser action=open profile=chrome targetUrl="https://scholar.google.com" browser action=snapshot profile=chrome # Type the paper title in search box browser action=act profile=chrome request={"kind":"type","ref":"search box ref","text":"paper title here"} browser action=act profile=chrome request={"kind":"press","key":"Enter"} browser action=snapshot profile=chrome
# Find the paper in results, click to open browser action=act profile=chrome request={"kind":"click","ref":"paper title link ref"} browser action=snapshot profile=chrome
ScienceDirect: Look for "Abstract" section in snapshot ACL Anthology: Abstract is directly visible at top Springer/Wiley: May need to click "Abstract" to expand PubMed: Abstract is usually visible
# Get the abstract text from snapshot # Clean it: remove newlines, escape special chars # Add to bib entry: abstract={...},
Use profile=chrome to use real Chrome with your login sessions Google Scholar rarely blocks real Chrome browsers ScienceDirect/IEEE may need institutional login (your Chrome has it) Always verify the paper title matches before copying abstract!
Rate limiting: 2 seconds between API requests Browser fallback should find almost all papers Abstracts are cleaned (newlines removed, escaped for BibTeX) Always verify the abstract matches the correct paper!
