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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. 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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Python 3.8+ pip package manager

Setup Steps

Install Python dependencies (choose one method): Method 1: Using uv (Recommended - Fastest) # Install uv curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh # Create virtual environment and install dependencies cd /path/to/pubmed-search-skill uv venv source .venv/bin/activate # Linux/macOS # or .venv\Scripts\activate # Windows uv pip install -r requirements.txt Method 2: Using conda (Best for scientific/research users) cd /path/to/pubmed-search-skill conda create -n pubmed-search python=3.11 -y conda activate pubmed-search pip install -r requirements.txt Method 3: Using pip directly (Built-in, no extra installation) cd /path/to/pubmed-search-skill pip install -r requirements.txt Configure API credentials (optional for basic search, required for PDF download): # Copy example configuration cp .env.example .env # Edit .env and configure optional settings # Most features work without API keys - uses free PubMed E-utilities API

python pubmed_search.py --help

How to Use

When users request literature search or analysis: Understand requirements: Ask what research topic or papers to search for Choose method: Simple keyword search for quick results Advanced search with specific filters Deep analysis for comprehensive understanding Execute search: python pubmed_search.py search --keywords "CRISPR gene editing" --results 10 Present results: Display article metadata and ask if further analysis needed

Basic Keyword Search

# Search for articles by keywords python pubmed_search.py search --keywords "COVID-19 vaccine efficacy" --results 10

Advanced Search

# Search with multiple filters python pubmed_search.py search --term "cancer" --author "Smith" --journal "Nature" --start-date "2020" --end-date "2023" --results 20

Get Article Metadata

# Fetch detailed metadata for a specific paper python pubmed_search.py metadata --pmid "12345678"

Deep Paper Analysis

# Perform comprehensive analysis of a paper python pubmed_search.py analyze --pmid "12345678" --output analysis.md

Download Full-Text PDF

# Attempt to download open access PDF python pubmed_search.py download --pmid "12345678" --output ./papers/

Batch Search

# Search and save results to file python pubmed_search.py search --keywords "Alzheimer disease" --results 50 --output results.json

Environment Variables (Optional)

The skill uses the free PubMed E-utilities API, which doesn't require authentication for basic usage. However, you can configure these optional settings: PUBMED_API_KEY: PubMed API key for higher rate limits (get from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/account/) PUBMED_EMAIL: Email for API requests (required when using API key) PUBMED_TOOL: Tool name for API identification (default: pubmed-search-skill)

Rate Limits

Without API key: 3 requests per second With API key: Up to 10 requests per second Get your free API key at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/account/

Best Practices

Use specific keywords for better results Apply filters (author, journal, date) to narrow down searches Review abstracts before requesting full analysis Check open access availability before downloading PDFs Cite original papers when using retrieved information
