Install with your agent

Agent handoff

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.

  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

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.

Upgrade existing

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.

Literature Review

Help write academic literature reviews using a multi-engine search integration (S2, OA, CR, PM).

Capabilities

Multi-Source Search: Find relevant academic papers using Semantic Scholar (S2), OpenAlex (OA), Crossref (CR), and PubMed (PM). Full Abstracts: All sources now return complete abstracts (PubMed uses efetch for full XML records). DOI Extraction: DOIs are extracted from all sources for cross-referencing and deduplication. Automatic Deduplication: When searching multiple sources (--source all or --source both), results are automatically deduplicated by DOI. Polite Access: Automatic email identification for OpenAlex/Crossref "Polite Pool" (via USER_EMAIL env var). Abstract Reconstruction: Reconstructs abstracts from OpenAlex inverted index format. Synthesis: Group papers by theme and draft review sections based on metadata.

Environment Variables

1. Broad Search (All Bases)

Get a comprehensive overview from all major academic databases. Results are automatically deduplicated by DOI. python3 scripts/lit_search.py search "impact of glycyrrhiza on bifidobacterium" --limit 5 --source all

2. Targeted Search

OpenAlex (oa): Fast and comprehensive, good abstracts. Semantic Scholar (s2): High-quality citation data and TL;DRs. Crossref (cr): Precise DOI-based metadata (no abstracts). PubMed (pm): Gold standard for biomedical research, full abstracts and PMIDs. python3 scripts/lit_search.py search "prebiotic effects of liquorice" --source pm

3. Comparing Sources

Search both S2 and OA simultaneously to ensure nothing is missed. Deduplicated by default. python3 scripts/lit_search.py search "Bifidobacterium infantis growth" --source both

4. Getting Full Details (S2)

Retrieve detailed metadata including TL;DR summaries. python3 scripts/lit_search.py details "DOI:10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136000"

5. Writing the Review

Extract: Pull key findings from the abstracts found. Organize: Group findings into a logical structure (e.g., chronological or thematic). Draft: Use the "Think step-by-step" approach to synthesize multiple sources into a coherent narrative.

Output Format

Each result includes: id: Source-specific identifier (PMID for PubMed, OpenAlex ID, S2 paper ID, DOI for Crossref) doi: DOI when available (used for deduplication) title: Paper title year: Publication year authors: List of author names abstract: Full abstract text (when available) venue: Journal or conference name citationCount: Citation count (S2, OA) source: Which database the result came from

Tips for Success

Citations: Always cross-reference the DOI or PMID for accuracy in bibliography. Filtering: Focus on papers with higher citationCount or recent years for a more modern review. PubMed for Medicine: Use --source pm for the most reliable biomedical literature. Deduplication: Multi-source searches automatically remove duplicates; use single sources if you need raw counts.

Category context

Code helpers, APIs, CLIs, browser automation, testing, and developer operations.
