Search papers across arXiv, DBLP, OpenAlex, OpenReview, Semantic Scholar, and Crossref for a given query and year range, using ./scripts/search_papers.py. Use when the user asks to find papers, related work, prior art, or recent publications on a specific topic, especially when they mention a date range or specific venues like NeurIPS, ICLR, or ICML.
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
# Paper Search Skill Unified paper search across **arXiv**, **DBLP**, **OpenAlex**, **OpenReview** (NeurIPS / ICLR / ICML), **Semantic Scholar**, and **Crossref** using `./scripts/search_papers.py`. All sources are searched **concurrently** (in parallel threads) by default for maximum speed. Returns results grouped by source. ## When to use Trigger this skill when the user asks things like: - "Find papers on X published between 2023 and 2025." - "Search NeurIPS / ICLR / ICML for work on X." - "Get arXiv + Semantic Scholar results for X." - "Show me recent prior art on X." ## Inputs (all auto-inferred — NEVER ask the user for confirmation or clarification) Derive these automatically from the user's message. Run the search immediately without asking for confirmation: - **query**: Rephrase the user's question into a focused search phrase. - **start_year** (int): If the user gives a year, use it directly. If they say "last 2 years", compute from today. Default: 2 years ago. - **end_year** (int): Default: current year. - **max_papers** (int): Number of results per source. Default: 10. - **sources**: Which sources to query. Default: all 6 API sources plus the …

How to install
mdr add pengqianhan/ai-human-research-os/paper-search@sha256:fc2a07041527706eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260718.fd0049f, 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.
