| description | Use only SciAtlas search-papers to take a novice user from zero setup to a timeline-oriented research trend report. Trigger when the user asks for topic history, field evolution, recent trends, representative papers over time, or emerging directions. |
Use this skill to build a trend report from search-papers evidence only.
search-papers.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 needed with python -m pip install -e ./sciatlas or python -m pip install "git+https://github.com/zjunlp/SciAtlas.git#subdirectory=sciatlas".SCIATLAS_API_KEY, guide registration at http://scinet.openkg.cn/register, asking for email/code/token only when needed.$env:SCIATLAS_API_BASE_URL = "http://scinet.openkg.cn"
$env:SCIATLAS_API_KEY = "<token>"
setx SCIATLAS_API_BASE_URL "http://scinet.openkg.cn"

search-papers --top-k 1 as the only token smoke test if needed.Run only search-papers. Use a time range whenever possible:
sciatlas search-papers --retrieval-mode hybrid --query "<topic>" --time-range "<start-end>" --keyword "high:<core topic>" --top-k 12 --top-keywords 0 --max-titles 0 --max-refs 0 --bias-citation high --bias-exploration middle --ranking-profile impact --report-max-items 12
If the user asks for "recent trends", default to the last five complete years unless the current year matters.
If the field has older foundations, run one foundation search without the recent time range:
sciatlas search-papers --retrieval-mode hybrid --query "<topic> foundational work" --keyword "high:<core topic>" --top-k 6 --top-keywords 0 --max-titles 0 --max-refs 0 --bias-citation high --ranking-profile impact --report-max-items 6
Read report.md and response.json. Build a timeline ledger:

search-papers queries.Use only SciAtlas search-papers to take a novice user from zero setup to an evidence-grounded evaluation of a research idea's novelty, feasibility, soundness, and differentiation. Trigger when the user asks whether an idea is worth pursuing or needs literature-backed critique.
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.
Use only SciAtlas search-papers to take a novice user from zero setup to prior-art grounding for a research idea. Trigger when the user gives an idea and asks for similar work, differentiation evidence, related work, motivation support, or literature-grounded refinement.
Use only SciAtlas search-papers to take a novice user from zero setup to an evidence-grounded literature review, related-work summary, survey outline, or reading list. Trigger when the user asks for a literature review, related work section, paper map, or topic overview.
Use only SciAtlas search-papers to take a novice user from zero setup to a small evidence-backed paper search result. Trigger when the user wants a quick paper check, first-pass literature evidence, a retrieval smoke test, or help deciding which deeper SciAtlas agent skill to use next.
Use only SciAtlas search-papers to take a novice user from zero setup to an evidence-grounded researcher profile from retrieved papers. Trigger when the user asks for a researcher's background, representative works, topic trajectory, or author-centered literature overview.
