Use this skill whenever the user wants to download academic papers, search for research literature, get citations (BibTeX/RIS/EndNote), manage WebVPN institutional proxy for paper access, import .bib files, or batch-download papers. This skill orchestrates the scansci-pdf MCP server which has 13+ download sources, 100+ university WebVPNs, and parallel download.
