How to use dsh-ai4scholar

Key points

• id: ai4scholar
• A single tool:ai4scholar system-prompt section tells the model when to use which platform and to cite by DOI/link.
• Everything is an effect: unloading the plugin (or editing its config, which triggers HMR) withdraws every tool and the prompt section.
• No model-visible input is added outside the tool results, so sessions stay fully replayable from the log.
• Full-text extraction uses pdf-parse (pdf.js) in-process; scanned/image-only PDFs yield an explicit error rather than empty text.

Pitfalls

Review the upstream repo before installing. This guide is auto-derived from indexed fields and may lag the latest release. If anything contradicts the official docs, treat the upstream source as authoritative.
