3## Prerequisites
4 
51.  **`uv`**: Read the `uv` skill and follow its Setup instructions to ensure
6    `uv` is installed and on PATH.
72.  **User Notification**: If .licenses/literature_search_openalex_LICENSE.txt
8    does not already exist in the workspace root directory then (1) prominently
9    notify the user to check the terms at https://help.openalex.org/ and to
10    always check the license of the papers retrieved by the skill for any
11    restrictions, then (2) create the file recording the notification text and
12    timestamp.
133.  **`.env` file**: Make sure the `.env` file exists in your home directory.
14    Create one if it does not exist.
154.  **`OPENALEX_API_KEY`** (optional but recommended): The skill works without a
16    key, but keyless requests share a $0.10/day budget per IP address. A free
17    key has its own $1/day budget and higher rate limits, and is required to
18    download full text from content.openalex.org (`download-pdf`). Adding
19    `mailto` (the former "polite pool") no longer raises limits. You can obtain
20    a free key at OpenAlex.org → account settings. Whenever checking for or
21    requesting this key, you **MUST** use the safe credentials protocol in the
22    `credentials` skill, without blocking keyless execution if it is unset.

28    output.
