Get Paper

Step 2: Search

• Take a snapshot to find the search box element.
• Fill the search box with the user's query using mcp__chrome-devtools__fill.
• Click the Search button using mcp__chrome-devtools__click.
• Wait for results with mcp__chrome-devtools__wait_for (text: ["Cited by"]).

Step 3: Present Results

• Take a snapshot of search results.
• Extract the top 5-8 results: title, authors, venue, year, citation count.
• Present them as a numbered list to the user.
• Ask the user which paper(s) to retrieve BibTeX for (support multiple selections).
• If the user's query is an exact title and the first result is a clear match, skip asking and auto-select it.

Step 4: Get BibTeX (for each selected paper)

For each selected paper:

1. Click Cite: Click the Cite button (haspopup="menu") for the selected result.
2. Wait for dialog: Wait for ["BibTeX"] text to appear.
3. Click BibTeX link: Click the BibTeX link inside the Cite dialog.
4. Read BibTeX: Wait for ["@"] to appear on the new page. Take a snapshot and extract the full BibTeX entry text.
5. Navigate back: Go back to the search results page (mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page type=back).
6. Close dialog if open: If the Cite dialog is still showing, click Cancel.

Step 5: Output

• Display all collected BibTeX entries to the user.
• Ask the user if they want to append these entries to a specific .bib file.
  • If yes, read the target bib file, check for duplicate keys, and append new entries.
  • Default target: manuscript/references/references.bib (if it exists in the current project).

Notes

• BibTeX keys from Google Scholar are auto-generated (e.g., wang2024assessing). Do not modify them unless the user asks.
• This skill uses Chrome DevTools MCP tools only. It does NOT use Semantic Scholar MCP.
• Multiple papers can be fetched in one session by repeating Step 4.
