## Description

Search research papers via Gemini for broad literature discovery. Use when user says "gemini search", "gemini papers", "search with gemini", or wants AI-powered literature discovery beyond arXiv/Semantic Scholar indexes.

## Role & Positioning

This skill uses Gemini as a **broad literature discovery** source:

| Skill | Source | Best for |
|-------|--------|----------|
| `/arxiv` | arXiv API | Latest preprints, cutting-edge unrefereed work |
| `/semantic-scholar` | Semantic Scholar API | Published venue papers (IEEE, ACM, Springer) with citation counts |
| `/deepxiv` | DeepXiv CLI | Layered reading: search, brief, section map, section reads |
| `/exa-search` | Exa API | Broad web search: blogs, docs, news, companies, research papers |
| `/gemini-search` | Gemini MCP / CLI | **AI-powered broad literature discovery**, searches across multiple angles, aliases, and sub-problems |

Use Gemini when you want AI-driven discovery that goes beyond keyword matching, Gemini decomposes topics into sub-problems, explores naming variants, and surfaces papers that traditional API searches may miss.

## Constants

- **MAX_RESULTS = 15**, Target number of papers Gemini should find.
- **MIN_YEAR = 2022**, Default minimum publication year. Override with `, year: 2020-`.
- **DEFAULT_MODEL = auto-gemini-3**, Auto-routes within the Gemini 3 family (Pro / Flash) by server-side capacity. Required by `mcp__gemini-cli__ask-gemini` and `gemini-cli` v0.40+; explicit `gemini-3-pro-preview` is **silently downgraded to `gemini-2.5-pro`** on OAuth-personal / Google One AI Pro accounts when capacity is exhausted. Override with `, model: gemini-3-flash-preview` (Gemini 3 Flash explicit, faster, higher quota), or `, model: gemini-2.5-pro` / `gemini-2.5-flash` (legacy, only for users on older `gemini-cli` < v0.40). The MCP tool accepts all of these verbatim.
