Overview
Claude Code plugin marketplace for academic research workflows. (full run, evidence in docs/test-evidence/). 2026-08-21 spot-check: PubMed search still working (5,688 results for "soil carbon cycling", 2022–2026), both via browser and via the new standalone API script plugins/pm-search/skills/pm-search/scripts/pubmed_api_search.py. We tested the skills by searching for papers on , , and across multiple platforms. (exceeding 100 target), all from 2022-2026. Works with Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Codex, Gemini CLI, ChatGPT, Qwen, DeepSeek, or any LLM agent that can read GitHub repos. Browser skills (CNKI, GS, SD, WoS, PubMed, IEEE) require Chrome DevTools MCP. Nature skills are pure prompt-based and work with any LLM. Codex distributes reusable skills through plugins. This repository includes a Codex marketplace at .agents/plugins/marketplace.json and one Codex plugin manifest per skill under plugins/ /.codex-plugin/plugin.json.

Codex (Marketplace recommended)
Codex distributes reusable skills through plugins. This repository includes a
Codex marketplace at .agents/plugins/marketplace.json and one Codex plugin
manifest per skill under plugins//.codex-plugin/plugin.json.
Add this marketplace to Codex, then install the skills you need from the plugin directory:
codex plugin marketplace add YuanyuanMa03/academic-research-skills
codex
/plugins
In the plugin directory, choose Academic Research Skills, open the plugin you
need, and select Install plugin. Start a new Codex thread after installing.
You can invoke a skill explicitly with @ or let Codex choose it from the task
description.
Codex plugin installs include the required MCP configuration:
- Browser-based research skills start
chrome-devtools-mcpthroughnpx. nature-academic-searchstarts its bundledacademic-searchMCP server and bootstraps its Python dependencies into~/.cache/academic-search-mcp.
You can also install a plugin directly from the CLI:
codex plugin add nature-academic-search@academic-research-skills
codex plugin add cnki-search@academic-research-skills
codex plugin add gs-search@academic-research-skills
Useful marketplace maintenance commands:
codex plugin marketplace list
codex plugin marketplace upgrade academic-research-skills
codex plugin marketplace remove academic-research-skills
Manual skill install fallback
This repository is a multi-skill collection. Do not install the repository root
as a single Codex skill; install the directories under plugins/*/skills/*.
git clone https://github.com/YuanyuanMa03/academic-research-skills.git
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
cp -R academic-research-skills/plugins/*/skills/* ~/.codex/skills/
Or install a specific skill with Codex’s GitHub skill installer by passing the nested skill path instead of the repository root:
python3 /path/to/install-skill-from-github.py \
--repo YuanyuanMa03/academic-research-skills \
--path plugins/nature-academic-search/skills/nature-academic-search
