research-arxiv-scout SKILL.md skillA
research-arxiv-scout from vasilyu1983/ai-agents-public is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add vasilyu1983/ai-agents-public/research-arxiv-scout@v1.2Pins v1.2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Discovers and triages recent arXiv papers for AI/ML, agents, and software/QA. Use when scouting categories, arXiv IDs, or source lists.
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
# research-arxiv-scout Use arXiv as a discovery layer for recent research, then produce repo-friendly outputs (ranked recommendations and `02_sources-*.json`-style entries) without fabricating metrics. ## Required attribution (arXiv API terms of use) Include the following line in any output that uses arXiv data: Thank you to arXiv for use of its open access interoperability. Source: [arXiv API Access](https://info.arxiv.org/help/api/index.html). The separate [API Terms of Use](https://info.arxiv.org/help/api/tou.html) covers request limits and permitted use. ## Quick Reference | Task | Inputs | Deliverable | Use these files | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Scout for a known skill | Skill name | Ranked list + actions | `config.yaml`, `assets/recommendation-output-template.md` | | Scout for a topic | Topic + categories | Ranked list + actions | `references/category-taxonomy.md` | | Summarize one paper | arXiv ID | Single-paper summary | `references/arxiv-api-guide.md` | | Propose sources updates | Target path | `02_sources-*.json` entries | `assets/sources-json-template.md` | …

How to install
mdr add vasilyu1983/ai-agents-public/research-arxiv-scout@sha256:ef2a6030e482b4d8The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2, 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.
