Free ResearchRabbit / Connected Papers analog — builds a citation and co-citation graph around one or more seed papers from open citation data (the OpenCitations index and Semantic Scholar, with titles from Crossref), with no API key, account or subscription.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-citation-graph' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-citation-graph' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named alterlab-citation-graph already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3ab6d034385ec4fedc3f6f4099292d4e91f60300' -- 'skills/research-tools/alterlab-citation-graph' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/research-tools/alterlab-citation-graph' ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-citation-graph' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-citation-graph' ~/.claude/skills/'alterlab-citation-graph' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
