- BibTeX, JSON, CSV, Markdown export

## When to Use

- Literature reviews
- Finding related papers
- Getting BibTeX citations
- Checking who cited a paper
- Finding papers by author
- Searching for specific topics

## Example Usage

### Search for Papers
```
paper_search(query="transformer attention mechanism", sources=["arxiv", "semantic_scholar"])
```

### Get Citations
```
semantic_scholar_citations(paper_id="...")
```

### arXiv Specific
```
arxiv_search(query="quantum computing", max_results=10)
```

## Other Available Servers (Not Installed)

From your `/Users/alice/worlds/l/mcp_servers.json`:

  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "server-package-name"]
}
```



## Scientific Skill Interleaving

This skill connects to the K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills ecosystem:

### Graph Theory
- **networkx** [○] via bicomodule
  - Universal graph hub

### Bibliography References

- `algorithms`: 19 citations in bib.duckdb

## Cat# Integration

This skill maps to **Cat# = Comod(P)** as a bicomodule in the equipment structure:

```
Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof
Poly Op: ⊗
Kan Role: Adj
Color: #26D826
```

### GF(3) Naturality

The skill participates in triads satisfying:
```
(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)
```

This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
