# Scite Database Skill

This skill provides access to Scite.ai **Smart Citations** data. Given a paper DOI, it summarizes how the paper is cited by others—specifically whether citations are **supporting**, **contrasting**, or **mentioning**—to help you evaluate the strength and reception of scientific claims.

## When to Use

- Use this skill when you need access scite.ai smart citations to classify how a paper is cited (supporting, contrasting, mentioning) and assess scientific claims; use it when you need to evaluate a paper’s reliability or its acceptance in the literature in a reproducible workflow.
- Use this skill when a evidence insight task needs a packaged method instead of ad-hoc freeform output.
- Use this skill when the user expects a concrete deliverable, validation step, or file-based result.
- Use this skill when `scripts/scite_client.py` is the most direct path to complete the request.
- Use this skill when you need the `scite-database` package behavior rather than a generic answer.
