|
|
|
|
1. **Get OpenRouter API Key:**
|
|
- Visit [openrouter.ai](https://openrouter.ai)
|
|
- Create account and generate API key
|
|
- Add credits to your account
|
|
|
|
2. **Configure Environment:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Test Setup:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
python scripts/research_lookup.py --model-info
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Command Line Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Single research query
|
|
python scripts/research_lookup.py "Recent advances in CRISPR gene editing 2024"
|
|
|
|
# Multiple queries with delay
|
|
python scripts/research_lookup.py --batch "CRISPR applications" "gene therapy trials" "ethical considerations"
|
|
|
|
# Claude Code integration (called automatically)
|
|
python lookup.py "your research query here"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Claude Code Integration

|
|
|
|
1. **Ask research questions:** "Research recent advances in quantum computing"
|
|
2. **Request literature reviews:** "Find current studies on climate change impacts"
|
|
3. **Need citations:** "What are the latest papers on transformer attention mechanisms?"
|
|
4. **Want technical information:** "Standard protocols for flow cytometry"
|
|
|
|

|
|
- **Complete Citations:** Provides full bibliographic information with DOIs
|
|
- **Multiple Formats:** Supports various query types and research needs
|
|
- **High Search Context:** Always uses high search context for deeper, more comprehensive research
|
|
- **Quality Prioritization:** Automatically prioritizes highly-cited papers from top venues
|
|
- **Cost Effective:** Typically $0.01-0.05 per research query
|
|
|
|
## Paper Quality Prioritization
|
|
|
|
This skill **always prioritizes high-impact, influential papers** over obscure publications. Results are ranked by:
|
|
|
|
### Citation-Based Ranking
|
|
|
|
| Paper Age | Citation Threshold | Classification |
|
|
|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
|
|
| 0-3 years | 20+ citations | Noteworthy |
|
|
| 0-3 years | 100+ citations | Highly Influential |
|
|
| 3-7 years | 100+ citations | Significant |
|
|
| 3-7 years | 500+ citations | Landmark |
|
|
| 7+ years | 500+ citations | Seminal |
|
|
| 7+ years | 1000+ citations | Foundational |
|
|
|
|
### Venue Quality Tiers
|
|
|
|
Papers from higher-tier venues are always preferred:
|
|
|
|
- **Tier 1 (Highest Priority):** Nature, Science, Cell, NEJM, Lancet, JAMA, PNAS, Nature Medicine, Nature Biotechnology
|
|
- **Tier 2 (High Priority):** High-impact journals (IF>10), top conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR for ML/AI)
|
|
- **Tier 3 (Good):** Respected specialized journals (IF 5-10)
|
|
- **Tier 4 (Use Sparingly):** Other peer-reviewed venues
|
|
|
|
### Author Reputation
|
|
|
|
The skill prefers papers from:
|
|
- Senior researchers with high h-index
|
|
- Established research groups at recognized institutions
|
|
- Authors with multiple publications in Tier-1 venues
|
|
- Researchers with recognized expertise (awards, editorial positions)
|
|
|
|
### Relevance Priority
|
|
|
|
1. Papers directly addressing the research question
|
|
2. Papers with applicable methods/data
|
|
3. Tangentially related papers (only from top venues or highly cited)
|
|
|
|
## Query Examples
|
|
|
|
### Academic Research
|
|
- "Recent systematic reviews on AI in medical diagnosis 2024"
|
|
- "Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials for depression treatment"
|
|
- "Current state of quantum computing error correction research"
|
|
|
|
### Technical Methods
|
|
- "Standard protocols for immunohistochemistry in tissue samples"
|
|
- "Best practices for machine learning model validation"
|
|
- "Statistical methods for analyzing longitudinal data"
|
|
|
|
### Statistical Data
|
|
- "Global renewable energy adoption statistics 2024"
|
|
- "Prevalence of diabetes in different populations"
|
|
- "Market size for autonomous vehicles industry"
|
|
|
|
## Response Format
|
|
|
|
Each research result includes:
|
|
- **Summary:** Brief overview of key findings
|
|
- **Key Studies:** 3-5 most relevant recent papers
|
|
- **Citations:** Complete bibliographic information
|
|
- **Usage Stats:** Token usage for cost tracking
|
|
- **Timestamp:** When the research was performed
|
|
|
|
## Integration with Scientific Writing
|
|
|
|
This skill enhances the scientific writing process by providing:
|
|
|
|
1. **Literature Reviews:** Current research for introduction sections
|
|
2. **Methods Validation:** Verify protocols against current standards
|
|
3. **Results Context:** Compare findings with recent similar studies
|
|
4. **Discussion Support:** Latest evidence for arguments
|
|
5. **Citation Management:** Properly formatted references
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
**"API key not found"**
|
|
- Ensure `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` environment variable is set
|
|
- Check that you have credits in your OpenRouter account
|
|
|
|
**"Model not available"**
|
|
- Verify your API key has access to Perplexity models
|
|
- Check OpenRouter status page for service issues
|
|
|
|
**"Rate limit exceeded"**
|
|
- Add delays between requests using `--delay` option
|
|
- Check your OpenRouter account limits
|
|
|
|
**"No relevant results"**
|
|
- Try more specific or broader queries
|
|
- Include time frames (e.g., "2023-2024")
|
|
- Use academic keywords and technical terms
|
|
|
|
## Cost Management
|
|
|
|
- Monitor usage through OpenRouter dashboard
|
|
- Typical costs: $0.01-0.05 per research query
|
|
- Batch processing available for multiple queries
|
|
- Consider query specificity to optimize token usage
|
