Scholar

Search academic literature with Google Scholar using effective queries, citations, and filters.

This skill is a safe, read-only set of tips for using Google Scholar. Because it is instruction-only and requests no credentials or installs, the immediate risk is low. Before enabling any agent to act on these instructions, consider: (1) whether the agent has web-browsing or connector permissions—if so it could perform searches or open links (which is expected behavior for this skill); (2) avoid providing account credentials or VPN access unless you trust the agent and need it for institutional full-text access; and (3) automated scraping of Google Scholar may violate Google's terms of service—use the guidance interactively rather than enabling bulk automated queries. If the publisher later adds code or an install step, re-evaluate for downloads, network endpoints, or secret requests.
