paper-search-pro

Multi-source literature search with adjustable depth. Four tiers, five data sources orchestrated by you (the main agent). Python helpers handle deterministic work; LLM classification is delegated to parallel Inline SubAgents — no external API key required.

When to use this skill

• User wants to find academic papers / 找文献 / 论文搜索
• User is preparing a literature review, systematic review (SR), scoping review, or meta-analysis
• User wants to scope research on a topic for a thesis / proposal / coursework / news story
• User asks "what research exists on X" / "find me papers about Y"
• User uploads a query that suggests literature gathering (PICO, SPIDER, MeSH, RCT, etc.)

When NOT to use

• User wants to read a specific paper (use PDF reader / download tool)
• User wants to summarize a single known paper (use a summarizer)
• User wants to download PDFs given DOIs (use paper-downloader-portable)
• User already has a literature set and wants to write a review (use literature-set-review / factor-outcome-review)
• User wants concept explanation, not papers ("what is prospect theory" → just answer)
