Research Discover Command

Search for relevant research papers across academic databases (arXiv, ACM, IEEE, Semantic Scholar, CrossRef).

Instructions

When invoked, perform systematic literature search:

Parse Query
- Accept natural language search query
- Extract key terms and constraints
- Identify domain context (ML, software engineering, HCI, etc.)
Select Databases
- Default: Search all available databases
- If
```
--source
```
  specified, use only that database
- Prioritize databases by domain relevance
Execute Search
- Query each database API
- Apply filters: publication year, source type, quality indicators
- Collect results with metadata (title, authors, DOI, abstract)
Rank Results
- Score by relevance to query
- Score by citation count
- Score by source quality (journal tier, conference rank)
- Score by recency
- Calculate composite relevance score
Present Results
- Display top N results (default: 10)
- Show title, authors, year, source, DOI
- Show relevance score and brief abstract snippet
- Provide acquisition options for high-value papers

Arguments

```
[query]
```
- Search query (required)

--source [arxiv|acm|ieee|semantic-scholar|crossref|all]

- Database to search (default: all)

```
--limit [n]
```
- Maximum results to return (default: 10)
```
--year-from [yyyy]
```
- Filter results from year onwards
```
--year-to [yyyy]
```
- Filter results to year
```
--min-citations [n]
```
- Minimum citation count threshold
```
--output [table|json|yaml]
```
- Output format (default: table)

Examples

# Basic search across all databases
/research-discover "agentic workflows LLM"

# Search specific database with filters
/research-discover "test-driven development effectiveness" --source acm --year-from 2020 --min-citations 50

# Comprehensive search with high limit
/research-discover "cognitive load theory UI design" --limit 25 --output yaml

Expected Output

Search Results: "agentic workflows LLM" (10 results, sorted by relevance)
