You are performing an academic literature search for the AI Scientist pipeline.
The user's message contains the search query. Extract it and search for relevant papers.
Parse the query from the user's message or arguments.
Try Semantic Scholar first by running:
python3 tools/search.py "<query>" --limit 10 --json
This uses the S2 API (with or without S2_API_KEY).
If S2 fails or returns no results, fall back to the WebSearch tool:
"<query>" site:arxiv.org OR site:semanticscholar.orgPresent results in a clear format:
If the user asks for bibtex, extract it from the S2 results or generate proper bibtex entries from the search results.
tools/search.py script is located relative to the project root.Generate a complete LaTeX research paper from experiment results — including citation gathering, figure descriptions, and iterative refinement.
Run the complete 4-stage Best-First Tree Search experiment pipeline — from initial implementation through ablation studies, with multi-agent parallel exploration.
Execute a single Best-First Tree Search iteration — select parent node, generate experiment code, execute it, parse metrics, analyze plots, and update the journal.
Run the complete AI Scientist pipeline — from research ideation through experiment execution, paper writing, and peer review. Orchestrates all sub-skills.
Interactively guide the user to create a workshop/topic description file for the AI Scientist pipeline. Asks structured questions and generates a ready-to-use .md file.
Generate novel research ideas with literature search and novelty checking. Produces structured JSON ideas matching the AI Scientist schema.
