arxiv-search SKILL.md skillA
arxiv-search from dougtrajano/pydantic-ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add dougtrajano/pydantic-ai-skills/arxiv-search@git:20260124.c0a5a2fPins git:20260124.c0a5a2f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Search arXiv preprint repository for papers in physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, and related fields.
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 Skill This skill provides access to arXiv, a free distribution service and open-access archive for scholarly articles in physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering, systems science, and economics. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when you need to: - Find preprints and recent research papers before journal publication - Search for papers in computational biology, bioinformatics, or systems biology - Access mathematical or statistical methods papers relevant to biology - Find machine learning papers applied to biological problems - Get the latest research that may not yet be in PubMed ## Skill Scripts ### arxiv_search The `arxiv_search` script accepts the following arguments: - `query` (required): Search query string (e.g., "neural networks protein structure", "single cell RNA-seq") - `max-papers` (optional): Maximum number of papers to retrieve (default: 10) ### Usage Examples **Search for computational biology papers (default 10 results):** - query: "protein folding prediction" **Search for machine learning papers with limited results:** …

How to install
mdr add dougtrajano/pydantic-ai-skills/arxiv-search@sha256:96561df97fdb5037The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260124.c0a5a2f, 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.
