arxiv-search SKILL.md skillA

arxiv-search from fmschulz/omics-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add fmschulz/omics-skills/arxiv-search@git:20261001.bf5afd6

Pins git:20261001.bf5afd6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Search arXiv through its official API and write Markdown notes for arXiv IDs. Use for CS, math, physics, statistics, or quantitative-biology preprints, or to resolve arXiv IDs.

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

# arXiv Search

Search arXiv through its official API for discovery, shortlists, recent-preprint tracking, and local Markdown notes for known arXiv IDs.

## Instructions

1. Use this skill for arXiv-native preprints: computer science, mathematics, physics, statistics, quantitative biology, and quantitative finance. Use `/biorxiv-search` for biology preprints and `/polars-dovmed` for peer-reviewed PMC full text.
2. Run the bundled CLI, `scripts/search`; `scripts/summarize` writes Markdown notes. Paths below are relative to this skill's directory, installed at `~/.agents/skills/arxiv-search`.
3. Choose the query mode:
   - Plain text: bare words become `all:` terms joined with `AND`. Add `--phrase` to match the words as one phrase.
   - Raw: a query that already uses arXiv syntax (`ti:`, `au:`, `abs:`, `co:`, `jr:`, `cat:`, `rn:`, `all:`, `submittedDate:`, `AND`, `OR`, `ANDNOT`) passes through unchanged.
4. Narrow the scope with `--category` (for example `cs.LG`, `stat.ML`, `q-bio.QM`) or a raw `cat:` term.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add fmschulz/omics-skills/arxiv-search@sha256:b8bc32cc4e758f63

The 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.
