arxiv.orgAI Analysis
The skill's external API calls (arXiv and Semantic Scholar) are consistent with its stated academic search purpose. The 'UNKNOWN_DATA_SINK' signal for arXiv is a false positive, as `export.arxiv.org/api/query` is the legitimate public arXiv API endpoint. No evidence of credential harvesting, hidden instructions, or obfuscation was found.

Search and summarize papers from ArXiv. Use when the user asks for the latest research, specific topics on ArXiv, or a daily summary of AI papers.
Assistance with writing literature reviews by searching for academic sources via Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref and PubMed APIs. Use when the user needs to find papers on a topic, get details for specific DOIs, or draft sections of a literature review with proper citations.
Creates formal academic research papers following IEEE/ACM formatting standards with proper structure, citations, and scholarly writing style. Use when the user asks to write a research paper, academic paper, or conference paper on any topic.
Search, download, and summarize academic papers from arXiv. Built for AI/ML researchers.
Use this skill when users need to search academic papers, download research documents, extract citations, or gather scholarly information. Triggers include: requests to "find papers on", "search research about", "download academic articles", "get citations for", or any request involving academic databases like arXiv, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, or Google Scholar. Also use for literature reviews, bibliography generation, and research discovery. Requires OpenClawCLI installation from clawhub.ai.
Manage Zotero reference libraries via the Web API. Search, list, add items by DOI/ISBN/PMID (with duplicate detection), delete/trash items, update metadata and tags, export in BibTeX/RIS/CSL-JSON, batch-add from files, check PDF attachments, cross-reference citations, find missing DOIs via CrossRef, and fetch open-access PDFs. Supports --json output for scripting. Use when the user asks about academic references, citation management, literature libraries, PDFs for papers, bibliography export, or Zotero specifically.
