Scitex Scholar is a production-ready Claude Code skill (quality score 70/100) in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/scitex-scholar/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when searching the literature, resolving DOIs, enriching citations, downloading PDFs through institutional access, or managing a reproducible paper library.
The Scitex Scholar skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It is part of the open ClaudSkills registry, a community-curated catalog of 15,000+ capabilities you can install for Claude Code — the Claude CLI agent.
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/scitex-scholar curl -L https://claudskills.com/skills/scitex-scholar/SKILL.md \ -o ~/.claude/skills/scitex-scholar/SKILL.md
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/scitex-scholar/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.
