## What it does

The skill opens CNKI’s journal search, enters the supplied term, and filters the results to journals. It detects ISSN and CN number formats to choose the matching search category. Result details can include the journal name, identifiers, sponsor, citation and download counts, and impact-factor figures.

It runs through two browser-tool calls: one to open CNKI and another to execute the search script. A visible CAPTCHA stops the search with an error, so the check must be completed before results can be retrieved. Journal detail pages open in a new tab; `list_pages` and `select_page` can be used to switch to it.
