Use this skill whenever the user wants to download academic papers, search for research literature, get citations (BibTeX/RIS/EndNote), manage WebVPN institutional proxy for paper access, import .bib files, or batch-download papers. This skill orchestrates the scansci-pdf MCP server which has 13+ download sources, 100+ university WebVPNs, and parallel download. TRIGGER when: user mentions downloading papers, DOI, arXiv ID, Sci-Hub, paper search, literature review, citation export, WebVPN, institutional access, "帮我下载论文", "搜索文献", "批量下载", "论文下载", "文献检索", or provides a list of DOIs/arXiv IDs. SKIP: user is only discussing papers conceptually without intent to download/search/cite, or user asks about non-academic PDFs (invoices, reports, etc.).
