| name | sciatlas-idea-generate |
| description | Use only SciAtlas search-papers to take a novice user from zero setup to literature-grounded research idea seeds. Trigger when the user wants new research directions, hypotheses, cross-topic combinations, project ideas, or brainstorming grounded in retrieved papers. |
SciAtlas Idea Generate
Use this skill to generate research ideas from retrieved literature. The only SciAtlas retrieval command allowed is sciatlas search-papers.
Operating Contract
- Do not call any SciAtlas downstream command. The only SciAtlas retrieval command allowed is
search-papers.
- Ask the user only for email, verification code, token, or one clarification about the desired topic/field.
- Complete setup, run
search-papers, read artifacts, and generate evidence-grounded ideas.
- Never disclose the full API token.
Zero-Start Bootstrap
- Check whether the
sciatlas executable exists without invoking a SciAtlas command: use Get-Command sciatlas -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue on Windows PowerShell or command -v sciatlas on macOS/Linux. Install if missing using the local repo python -m pip install -e ./sciatlas or GitHub python -m pip install "git+https://github.com/zjunlp/SciAtlas.git#subdirectory=sciatlas".
- If
SCIATLAS_API_KEY is missing, guide the user to http://sciatlas.openkg.cn/register.
- Ask for email/code/token only when needed by the registration flow.
- Configure:
$env:SCIATLAS_API_BASE_URL = "http://sciatlas.openkg.cn"
$env:SCIATLAS_API_KEY = "<token>"
setx SCIATLAS_API_BASE_URL "http://sciatlas.openkg.cn"
setx SCIATLAS_API_KEY "<token>"
