1Arxiv Searcharxiv-search is a scientific-skills CLI integration that lets solo builders and coding agents query arXiv through Valyu’s semantic search API instead of manually browsing or scraping. A thin bash entrypoint delegates to a Node script, exposing helper flags so agents can resolve `--path` and `--script-dir` when wiring tools in Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. Authentication flows from the `VALYU_API_KEY` environment variable first, then a home-directory config file the script can write when you save a key—useful for repeatable local research sessions without re-pasting secrets each run. During the idea phase, you can pull relevant preprints to sanity-check novelty, compare methods, or cite foundations before committing to an MVP architecture. The skill is intentionally narrow: it fetches and ranks literature hits rather than summarizing papers or managing bibliographies, so pair it with your agent’s reading and note-taking workflow for synthesis.1kinstalls2Pubmed Searchpubmed-search is a small scientific-research integration skill that wraps a Node CLI around the Valyu API for PubMed full-text and semantic search. Solo builders and indie teams shipping health, biotech, or evidence-heavy products use it during early discovery to pull papers and citations without leaving the agent terminal. Install when you need repeatable literature queries with a standard key setup (environment variable or `~/.valyu/config.json`) rather than ad-hoc browser tabs. It fits agents that can run shell commands and need network access to Valyu. The skill does not replace systematic review methodology or citation management—it accelerates fetching and exploring PubMed-aligned results once you have a Valyu API key. Pair it with note-taking or synthesis skills after you have a focused query set.571installs3Biomedical SearchBiomedical-search is a Valyu-powered search integration for solo and indie builders who need credible biomedical literature and dataset hits without leaving their coding agent. It exposes a small CLI stack—a bash wrapper delegating to a Node script—that calls `https://api.valyu.ai/v1` for full-text and semantic search across configured sources. You install it when an AI product, regulated health adjacent SaaS, or research-heavy feature needs grounded citations during the Idea phase, not when you are wiring production ETL. Configuration is intentionally lightweight: prefer `VALYU_API_KEY` in the environment for CI and agents, or persist a key under `~/.valyu/config.json` for local repeat use. The skill fits Prism’s journey model as a phase-specific research tool: it accelerates opportunity validation and competitor or mechanism discovery, but it does not replace clinical review, compliance sign-off, or your own judgment about source quality. Pair it with broader scientific-skills in the same repo when you also need synthesis or writing workflows after retrieval.530installs
