SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Consolidate multi-source paper discovery into a single reference framework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified strategy for three sources: local vec-db, Semantic Scholar, and AlphaXiv
  • Serves as a centralized reference for other skills (research-survey, gap-to-method, paper_related_works, idea_refinery, topic_survey)
  • Provides a stable integration point for AI agents and researchers

Quick Start

Refer to this skill when designing paper discovery workflows to ensure consistent multi-source results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I consolidate multi-source paper discovery into a unified workflow?

Multi-source paper discovery is consolidated by integrating local vec-db top-venue search, Semantic Scholar breadth search, and AlphaXiv full-text reading into a single reference framework for researchers and AI agents.

When should I use Semantic Scholar versus a local vec-db for paper search?

Use local vec-db for top-venue search and Semantic Scholar for breadth search across broader literature. AlphaXiv is used specifically for full-text reading within this unified multi-source strategy.

Can I use AlphaXiv full-text reading with my existing AI agent research workflows?

Yes, AlphaXiv full-text reading is integrated as part of a unified strategy designed to provide a stable integration point for AI agents and researchers building paper discovery workflows.

What is the best way to integrate multiple paper discovery sources into a single skill?

The best way is to reference a unified strategy framework that combines local vec-db, Semantic Scholar, and AlphaXiv, providing clear integration points and usage guidance for consistent results.

Does this paper discovery framework support automated research survey workflows?

Yes, it serves as a centralized reference for other skills including research-survey, gap-to-method, paper_related_works, idea_refinery, and topic_survey workflows to ensure consistent multi-source results.

Why use a unified reference framework instead of querying Semantic Scholar and AlphaXiv separately?

A unified reference framework ensures consistent multi-source results by standardizing how local vec-db, Semantic Scholar, and AlphaXiv are queried together, preventing fragmented or redundant paper discovery.
