paper-scout: Claude Code plugin for automated literature discovery
paper-scout tackles the hassle of manually searching academic databases by providing a Claude Code plugin that queries Semantic Scholar, arXiv, OpenAlex, ERIC, OpenCitations, and Korea's KCI in parallel. A Python backbone handles API calls, caching, deduplication, and relevance scoring, while the LLM agents synthesize the results into readable reports. It serves researchers and developers who need reliable, reproducible literature reviews without hand‑picking sources. Compared to generic search tools, it offers deterministic outputs, coverage manifests, and built‑in hallucination guardrails, ensuring trustworthy citations.
