Are images and figures included in the search results?

Yes, the skill can return links to figures and images found within the papers, which is particularly useful for analyzing experimental results and data visualizations.

Can I retrieve full-text articles or only abstracts?

Unlike many basic search tools, this skill provides access to the full-text content of articles when available through the Valyu API, enabling comprehensive data analysis.

How do I set up the API key for this skill?

You can get an API key from platform.valyu.ai and then run the setup command 'scripts/search setup ' within your terminal to authenticate the skill.

What is the benefit of semantic search over keyword search?

Semantic search understands the meaning and context of your query. This means you can find relevant research papers even if they don't contain the exact keywords you used.

Does this skill require a native PubMed/NCBI API key?

No, this skill uses the Valyu API to interface with PubMed, which simplifies the search process and provides enhanced semantic results without needing to manage NCBI credentials.

数据科学与机器学习

Searches the PubMed biomedical database using natural language queries and semantic retrieval for full-text literature access.

关于

PubMed Search is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for researchers and developers who need high-quality biomedical data without the complexity of traditional database querying. By leveraging Valyu's semantic search API, this skill allows users to perform context-aware searches using natural language instead of rigid parameters. It goes beyond simple abstract retrieval by providing full-text content and associated figures, making it an essential tool for literature reviews, drug discovery, and clinical research analysis directly within the Claude interface.

主要功能

Semantic search understanding that interprets query intent rather than just keywords.
9 GitHub stars
Natural language processing that eliminates the need for complex API parameter parsing.
Retrieval of scientific figures and images directly from published papers.
Full-text access to biomedical articles, providing deeper context than standard abstracts.
Seamless integration with Claude Code for automated research and data synthesis.

使用场景

Conducting comprehensive literature reviews for specific genetic mutations or diseases.
Identifying novel drug targets and exploring mechanisms of action in pharmaceutical research.
Synthesizing clinical trial results and phase-specific study data for medical benchmarking.
