mmdc --version
Option B: Kroki API (no install)
curl --version # Just need curl

148semanticscholar-skill
Use when searching academic papers, looking up citations, finding authors, or getting paper recommendations using the Semantic Scholar API. Triggers on queries about research papers, academic search, citation analysis, or literature discovery.
93paper-fetch
Use whenever the user wants to obtain, download, or fetch a paper's PDF — given a DOI, an arXiv id, a paper title, a citation, or a list of DOIs. Trigger on phrases like "download this paper", "find the PDF for [DOI]", "grab me the [Nature/bioRxiv/arXiv] paper on X", "get the open-access version", "I need this article", or any bulk/batch paper download request, even when the user doesn't explicitly say "PDF" or "DOI". Resolves via Unpaywall → Semantic Scholar → arXiv → PubMed Central → bioRxiv/medRxiv → publisher direct (institutional opt-in) → Sci-Hub mirrors as last-resort fallback.
