semantic-scholar-deep

semantic-scholar-deep is a Literature review & citations skill for AI agents, published by CodeAlive-AI in the ai-driven-development repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates semantic-scholar-deep C (77/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Deep research over the Semantic Scholar Graph API. Covers endpoints missing from allenai's lookup skill — paper references (backward citations), recommendations, batch paper lookup (up to 500 IDs), snippet search, and multi-hop citation graph traversal (BFS forward/backward). Use when the user asks to build a citation graph, expand a literature seed, find related work, run a reference network traversal, explore what a paper cites or what cites it beyond simple lookup, or batch-resolve many DOI/arXiv/S2 IDs. For multi-step research questions, delegate to the deep-paper-researcher subagent to keep the main context clean. Not for single paper-by-ID lookups (use semantic-scholar-lookup) or topical discovery (use web_search_advanced_exa).
