ai4scholar-plugin-dsh Repo Summary
dsh-ai4scholar is an academic literature plugin (DSH plugin) for DeepSeek Harness (DSH), maintained by literaf under the MIT license. It brings 38 native academic tools from AI4Scholar into DSH, covering Semantic Scholar, PubMed, Google Scholar, arXiv, bioRxiv/medRxiv, DOI full-text retrieval, auto-citation, and scientific figure drawing. It solves the fragmentation of cross-platform search, deduplication, full-text reading, and citation management in research workflows, allowing models (and Code Mode programs) to complete the entire pipeline from search to citation through a unified toolchain. Powered by ai4scholar.net, last updated in 2026-08.
What academic search and full-text tools does the dsh-ai4scholar DSH plugin provide?
The plugin groups tools by platform: search_papers queries Semantic Scholar and PubMed in one go (optionally arXiv, Google Scholar), merging duplicates by DOI/arXiv ID/PMID/title and ranking multi-platform hits first; the Semantic Scholar family offers search, bulk retrieval, snippets, citations/references, author info, and recommendations over 200M+ papers; PubMed covers biomedical and life sciences; Google Scholar provides broadest coverage with cited-by counts; arXiv, bioRxiv/medRxiv are free to search and download; download_by_doi and read_by_doi fetch open-access full text for any DOI. All paper-list tools return a normalized record shape (title, authors, year, venue, citation count, DOI/PMID/arXiv IDs, URL, open-access PDF, abstract), enabling seamless chained calls across platforms.
How do the full-text reading and auto-citation features of dsh-ai4scholar work?
Full-text tools return PDF text in slices (offset/max_chars), preventing a 40-page paper from flooding the context; auto_cite inserts real citations, reference lists, and BibTeX; sci_draw generates, edits, styles, composes, critiques, and vectorizes scientific figures. Results render as citation cards in the dsh Web UI, and the model can call them without special cases.
What is the credit and account system of dsh-ai4scholar?
Paid platforms (Semantic Scholar, PubMed, Google Scholar) consume credits, while free platforms (arXiv, bioRxiv/medRxiv, DOI) do not. Every billed tool call shows the charge in the chat card title (e.g., Semantic Scholar: protein folding · 10 credits · 4,990 left), the model-facing result ends with a credit summary, the /ai4scholar command renders a balance card, and get_ai4scholar_credits gives the model the same numbers, ensuring credits are transparent.
How to install dsh-ai4scholar?
Run the following command in your DSH environment:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:literaf/ai4scholar-plugin-dsh
After installation, all 38 tools and the /ai4scholar slash command are registered, ready to use without extra configuration.
Which DeepSeek Harness versions and platforms are compatible with dsh-ai4scholar?
This plugin is an official DSH bundle (dsh.bundle), depending on @deepseek-ai/dsh-* packages (tools, llm, host-webserver, client-web-react, etc.), deeply integrated with DSH's Web UI, Code Mode, and model invocation chain, compatible with any DSH environment supporting the plugin mechanism.
