Scholar Research

Scholar Research extends your AI assistant with the ability to search, analyze, and summarize peer-reviewed academic papers from open access sources. Provides credibility scoring, visualization, timeline generation, and... Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly — and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Scholar Research as its underlying capability.

Scholar Research works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Scholar Research once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.

Getting started with Scholar Research takes about two minutes. Place the skill at `~/.claude/skills/scholar-research/` (personal, all projects) or `.claude/skills/scholar-research/` (project-specific), then restart your AI client. From that point, typing `/scholar-research` in any conversation activates it, or the AI will use it on its own when it detects a relevant request.

Scholar Research has 399 installs and is part of the growing Data & Analytics skill ecosystem on DiscoverAISkills. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
