Deterministic search across arXiv, PubMed/PMC, and US policy corpora with daily freshness cutoffs.
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
# II-Commons ## Overview II-Commons provides deterministic retrieval for research agents across arXiv, PubMed/PMC, and supported US policy corpora. Use it when a task needs reproducible search, metadata lookup, full-document Markdown retrieval, or a freshness check before answering with recent evidence. The upstream project publishes a Node.js CLI as `@intelligentinternet/ii-commons` and a full agent skill at `skills/ii-commons/`. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when searching arXiv, PubMed/PMC, or supported US policy corpora for evidence. - Use when the user asks for latest or recent research and corpus freshness matters. - Use when you need stable identifiers, metadata, or full-document Markdown for downstream analysis. - Use when comparing evidence across scientific literature and policy documents. ## How It Works ### Step 1: Check Corpus Freshness Run `cutoff` before freshness-sensitive searches: ```bash npx @intelligentinternet/ii-commons cutoff ``` Report the relevant cutoff date before interpreting recent results. ### Step 2: Search the Right Corpus Use exactly this command shape: ```bash …

How to install
mdr add fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall/ii-commons@sha256:64cdc531619148b0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.80a7ab6, 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.
