Can I use a Semantic Scholar API key with this skill?

Yes, if you provide an S2 API key in your conversation, the skill will use it to perform authenticated requests, which are faster and less restricted.

What happens if a paper title is common or ambiguous?

The skill includes a verification step that compares returned titles to your request. If a mismatch is detected, it automatically retries the search with additional metadata like the author's name or publication year.

Does it support batch citation lookups?

Yes, you can provide multiple titles separated by newlines or semicolons, and the skill will process them all in a single workflow.

How does the cite skill find research papers?

The skill first queries the Semantic Scholar API for general academic papers and falls back to the DBLP database for specialized computer science references if the first search fails.
