How do I install TR Dizin?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use TR Dizin with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 10.0/10
Tested: Jul 15, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Jul 18, 2026 · 954dc03

Ran the real live API end to end — search, field-scoped advanced search, author lookup, the documented ':' -in-query error (exact message and exit code 2), and a full PDF-to-markdown extraction of a real open-access paper via markitdown — every single documented behavior matched observed behavior exactly, including an obscure 'returned floors small limit' quirk. A naive baseline fetch of the human-facing trdizin.gov.tr search page 404'd outright.

What TR Dizin does

A committed Python CLI (scripts/trdizin.py, stdlib only, no keys/login/browser) that queries TR Dizin's open Elasticsearch-backed JSON API for publications, journals, authors, and institutions, supports field-scoped advanced search and facet filters, and converts an open-access publication's PDF to markdown text. Triggers when the user wants to search or read from trdizin.gov.tr.
