SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides an agent-first surface to rapidly discover and progressively read scholarly papers across arXiv, PMC, bioRxiv, and medRxiv, including identifier recovery before local library intake.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Literature access substrate for targeted paper discovery.
  • Progressive reading interface supporting brief -> head -> section -> full access.
  • Shortlist and identifier-recovery lane to collect arXiv IDs, DOIs, or PMC handles for downstream workflows.
  • Use Case: quickly locate relevant papers, triage them with quick reads, recover identifiers, and prepare inputs for a project-local library skill or downstream downloader.

Quick Start

Run the local DeepXiv workflow to search for papers and progressively read selected results (brief → head → section → full).

FAQPage Schema
How do I search and progressively read scholarly papers across arXiv and bioRxiv?

To search and progressively read scholarly papers, use the local CLI workflow to locate relevant literature and apply the brief, head, section, and full reading sequence. This quickly triages papers before local library intake.

What is the best way to recover arXiv IDs and DOIs before adding papers to a local library?

The best way to recover arXiv IDs and DOIs is using the dedicated identifier-recovery lane, which collects handles across arXiv, PMC, bioRxiv, and medRxiv to prepare exact inputs for downstream download workflows.

Can I use this literature search workflow with a downstream paper downloader?

Yes, you can use this literature search workflow with a downstream downloader. It recovers identifiers and shortlists targeted papers, providing clear paths to connect with other literature skills or project-local library workflows.

Does progressive paper reading support targeted discovery across PMC and medRxiv?

Progressive paper reading supports targeted discovery across PMC and medRxiv. The interface allows you to move from brief overviews to full text access, helping you quickly identify relevant literature across multiple repositories.

Do I need a local CLI environment to search arXiv papers and recover identifiers?

Yes, you need a local CLI environment to search arXiv papers and recover identifiers. The workflow expects safe configuration and token handling within a local setup to manage literature access and connect with other skills.
