Literature Search Openalex

From Google DeepMind's science-skills collection, this lets Claude search OpenAlex directly for academic papers and research. You'd reach for it when you need to pull literature programmatically rather than clicking through web interfaces. It's passed Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket audits but has a Snyk warning worth checking. With 1.4K installs and part of a 2.4K star repo, it seems like the go-to for researchers and developers building tools that need to query academic databases. Beats writing your own OpenAlex API wrapper if you're already using Claude Code for research workflows.
