Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when academic work spans literature discovery, implementation, experiments, reporting and manuscript preparation, particularly when the project already uses one of the supported coding-agent CLIs.

Who it is for

  • Computer science researchers
  • AI researchers
  • Academic users managing literature, code and experiments
  • Research teams using supported coding-agent CLIs

Documented uses

  • Review and organize academic literature
  • Connect research coding with experiment work
  • Prepare experiment reports
  • Support paper writing and publication workflows
  • Maintain project knowledge alongside research artifacts
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public, active and MIT-licensed. Documented workflow branches support Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi Code CLI and OpenCode.

  • Select the branch matching the coding-agent CLI in use.
  • The project is aimed at multi-stage research workflows rather than a single literature-search function.
  • Python is the repository's primary language.
  • MCP is listed as a repository topic, but a specific server or integration configuration is not demonstrated.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Choose the workflow branch for a supported coding agent

Prepare Claude Scholar for use with the coding-agent CLI selected for a research project.

Before you start

  • Access to the public Claude Scholar repository.
  • One supported coding-agent CLI: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi Code CLI or OpenCode.

Steps

  1. Use the main branch for the Claude Code workflow.

  2. Use the codex branch for Codex CLI.

  3. Use the kimi branch for Kimi Code CLI.

  4. Use the opencode branch for OpenCode.

Expected outcome

The project is aligned with the documented branch for the selected coding-agent CLI.

Guide limitations

  • The available documentation identifies the branches and supported CLIs but does not provide a complete installation or execution procedure.
