What is Claude Skills?
Anthropic's skill packaging format for Claude Code and the API. Drop a Scavio skill into your ~/.claude/skills directory for one-command web search across all sessions.
Searching Google Scholar with Claude Skills
This integration lets your Claude Skills agent search Google Scholar in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with paper titles, paper URLs, SERP snippets -- ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
Bash
# Clone the Scavio Claude skill into ~/.claude/skills/scavioCode Example
Here is a complete Claude Skills agent that searches Google Scholar using Scavio:
Text
# Generic HTTP integration for Claude Skills
# Point your framework's HTTP request tool at:
#
# POST https://api.scavio.dev/api/v2/google
# Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key
# Content-Type: application/json
# {"query":"your search query"}
#
# Rows come back under organic_results.
#
# Scavio has no Google Scholar endpoint, so citation counts and author lists are not available. This runs a Google web search - narrow it with site:arxiv.org or filetype:pdf.
