English

Claude Code skills that let Claude interact with Web of Science (WoS) through Chrome DevTools MCP.

Search papers, extract metadata, navigate results, export citations, download PDFs, and push to Zotero — all from the Claude Code CLI.

Prerequisites

Claude Code CLI installed
Chrome browser (institutional login for WoS access)
Zotero desktop app (optional, for citation export)
Python 3 (optional, for Zotero push script)

Skills

Skill	Description	Invocation
`wos-search`	Search WoS by topic, author, title, DOI. Supports edition/database filtering and sort	`/wos-search value co-creation --edition SSCI --sort citations`
`wos-paper-detail`	Extract full record metadata (abstract, JIF, keywords, citations, etc.)	`/wos-paper-detail WOS:000295471900004`
`wos-navigate-pages`	Paginate through search results via API or URL	`/wos-navigate-pages 2`
`wos-parse-results`	Parse search results from API response or DOM	(internal)
`wos-download`	Download article PDFs via publisher links	`/wos-download WOS:000295471900004`
`wos-export`	Export citations to Zotero, RIS, BibTeX, or Excel	`/wos-export zotero`

Agent

wos-researcher — orchestrates all skills. Supports multi-step workflows like "search → detail → export to Zotero → download PDF". API-first approach with DOM fallback.

Key Features

API-first: Uses WoS internal API (runQuerySearch) for search and pagination — 1 tool call, structured JSON, no DOM fragility
Edition filtering: Search within SCI, SSCI, CPCI, or any combination
Sort control: By citations, date, relevance, or usage
Multiple databases: Core Collection (default), All Databases, MEDLINE, Preprint, SciELO, etc.
JIF & JCR extraction: Impact Factor, Five-Year IF, and JCR Quartile from full record pages
Zotero integration: Direct push via Connector API with deterministic session IDs (no duplicates)
Chinese keyword translation: Auto-translates Chinese search terms to English for SCI/SSCI

Installation

1. Install Chrome DevTools MCP server

claude mcp add chrome-devtools -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest

2. Install WoS skills

git clone https://github.com/cookjohn/wos-skills.git
cd wos-skills
cp -r skills/ agents/ .claude/

Or add to an existing project:

git clone https://github.com/cookjohn/wos-skills.git /tmp/wos-skills
cp -r /tmp/wos-skills/skills/ your-project/.claude/skills/
cp -r /tmp/wos-skills/agents/ your-project/.claude/agents/

3. Configure anti-detection (recommended)

Add to your .claude.json to prevent bot detection:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chrome-devtools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "chrome-devtools-mcp@latest",
        "--ignoreDefaultChromeArg=--enable-automation",
        "--ignoreDefaultChromeArg=--disable-infobars",
        "--chromeArg=--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled"
      ]
    }
  }
}

4. Log in to WoS

Before using the skills, open Chrome and log in to Web of Science with your institutional account. The skills require an active WoS session.

Usage Examples

# Simple topic search
/wos-search deep learning

# Search SSCI for value co-creation, sorted by citations
/wos-search value co-creation --edition SSCI --sort citations

# Multi-field advanced search
/wos-search (builds: TS="AI" AND AU="Smith" AND PY=2020-2025)

# View paper details with JIF and JCR quartile
/wos-paper-detail WOS:000295471900004

# Export to Zotero
/wos-export zotero

# Navigate to page 2
/wos-navigate-pages 2

Claude Code 技能，通过 Chrome DevTools MCP 让 Claude 与 Web of Science (WoS) 交互。

搜索论文、提取元数据、浏览结果、导出引用、下载 PDF、推送到 Zotero —— 全部通过 Claude Code CLI 完成。

前提条件

已安装 Claude Code CLI
Chrome 浏览器（需要机构登录访问 WoS）
Zotero 桌面版（可选，用于引用导出）
Python 3（可选，用于 Zotero 推送脚本）

技能列表

技能	描述	调用方式
`wos-search`	按主题、作者、标题、DOI 搜索，支持版本/数据库筛选和排序	`/wos-search 价值共创 --edition SSCI --sort citations`
`wos-paper-detail`	提取论文详细信息（摘要、JIF、关键词、引用数等）	`/wos-paper-detail WOS:000295471900004`
`wos-navigate-pages`	通过 API 或 URL 翻页	`/wos-navigate-pages 2`
`wos-parse-results`	解析搜索结果（内部技能）	（内部使用）
