Scan bioRxiv by date range, category, author, or DOI through its official API, with local keyword filtering. Use for recent biology preprints, bioRxiv DOI lookups, or author shortlists.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# bioRxiv Search Scan bioRxiv metadata through its official API for recent preprints, date ranges, DOI lookups, and author shortlists, with local keyword filtering over title, abstract, and authors. ## Instructions 1. Use this skill for bioRxiv preprints and for preprint metadata that may lag in PubMed, PMC, or Crossref. Use `/arxiv-search` for arXiv and `/polars-dovmed` for peer-reviewed PMC full text. 2. Run the bundled CLI, `scripts/search`. Paths below are relative to this skill's directory, installed at `~/.agents/skills/biorxiv-search`. 3. The API has no keyword search. The CLI fetches metadata for a bounded interval and filters it locally. - Set the interval with `--days N` or `--start-date YYYY-MM-DD --end-date YYYY-MM-DD`. Without one, the CLI uses the last 30 days and says so in `warnings`. - The API returns 30 records per page, oldest first. The CLI starts at the newest page and scans backward until it has read `--scan-limit` records (default 300) or reached the start of the interval, then returns up to `max_results` matches. 4. Write keyword queries in local query syntax: - Words are combined with `AND`: `single cell atlas` needs all three words. …

How to install
mdr add fmschulz/omics-skills/biorxiv-search@sha256:e0d0f248e796f1efThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.bf5afd6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
