SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Track, search, and manage research papers from arXiv and other venues, providing a centralized, editable record of reading status, notes, and tags to streamline scientific work and literature reviews.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Track new papers from arXiv and manual entries; keep reading backlog organized with statuses and tags.
  • Search across titles, abstracts, authors, tags, notes, and provenance to quickly surface relevant literature.
  • Export reading lists for writing drafts, literature reviews, or collaboration; integrate with other skills like experiment-manager or autodidact.

Quick Start

Add a paper from arXiv using its ID (for example 2301.07041) to begin tracking.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track research papers from arXiv for my reading backlog?

You can track research papers by adding them using their arXiv ID, which creates a centralized record in a JSONL file to manage reading statuses, tags, and notes for your backlog.

Can I search across paper abstracts, authors, and tags to find literature?

Yes, literature management search covers titles, abstracts, authors, tags, notes, and provenance, allowing you to quickly surface relevant papers for your research workflow.

How do I organize a reading list with tags for a literature review?

You can organize a reading list by applying custom tags and tracking statuses to research papers, enabling structured filtering and export for writing drafts or literature reviews.

What is the best way to manage manual paper entries alongside arXiv records?

Paper tracking supports both arXiv ID imports and manual manual entries, storing all records uniformly to monitor reading progress and maintain a unified literature database.

Does this paper tracking approach require external dependencies to manage notes?

No external dependencies are required; the skill stores paper records and notes locally in a JSONL file, ensuring deterministic literature management without external package installations.
