Quick Review

Excellent skill for academic research queries. The description clearly covers when to use this skill (literature searches, citation analysis, research trends). SKILL.md is exceptionally well-structured with 12 core capabilities, each with clear use cases and code examples. Task knowledge is comprehensive with working code, best practices, troubleshooting guides, and references to additional documentation files. The skill handles complex workflows like two-step entity lookups, batch operations, and large-scale data extraction that would be costly for a CLI agent to figure out independently. Structure is exemplary: concise overview with detailed examples inline, while deferring exhaustive API details to referenced files. Novelty is strong - navigating OpenAlex's 240M+ records with proper filtering, pagination, rate limiting, and entity resolution patterns provides significant value over naive API calls. Minor deduction on novelty only because the underlying API is relatively straightforward REST queries, though the skill adds substantial convenience and best practices.
