The Agent Skills Directory

[SAFE]: The skill interacts exclusively with well-known and reputable academic data providers, including Semantic Scholar, Crossref, PubMed, and arXiv, which are recognized as safe external sources.
[SAFE]: Sensitive configuration, such as API keys, is managed using standard .env file practices. The skill instructions guide the agent to store user-provided keys locally rather than hardcoding them or exfiltrating them.
[SAFE]: The provided Python script (scripts/academic_search.py) relies on standard libraries for all network operations and data parsing. It avoids dangerous patterns like eval(), exec(), or runtime code generation.
[SAFE]: The PDF download functionality includes filename sanitization to prevent path traversal or the creation of malicious file names, ensuring that downloaded content is saved safely to the designated directory.
