SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires deepxiv-sdk.

What problem does it solve? Reading full academic papers consumes excessive context and time when you only need a summary or one section. This Skill provides layered, section-level access to open-access papers via DeepXiv so you only load the depth you need. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Progressive Reading: Escalate from search to brief summary, section map, single section, and full paper only when necessary. - Multiple Query Modes: Search by topic, fetch trending papers over 7/14/30 days, run web search, or pull Semantic Scholar metadata by ID. - Research Wiki Integration: Automatically ingests depth-read papers into a project research-wiki when one exists. - Use Case: Ask for a brief on arXiv paper 2409.05591, then read only the Introduction section to answer a specific question without loading the entire PDF. ## Quick Start Use the deepxiv skill to search for recent papers on agent memory and give me a brief summary of the top result.

Frequently Asked Questions about deepxiv

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I read only one section of an arXiv paper?▼

Use the section mode with the paper's arXiv ID and section name, for example appending '- section: Introduction' to your query. This fetches just that section instead of the full paper, saving context tokens.

What is the difference between DeepXiv, arXiv, and Semantic Scholar search?▼

DeepXiv provides progressive section-level reading of papers, the arXiv API suits batch search and PDF download, and Semantic Scholar provides published venue metadata and citation counts. They are complementary sources rather than replacements.

How do I install the DeepXiv CLI?▼

Install it with 'pip install deepxiv-sdk'. On first use, the deepxiv CLI auto-registers a free token and stores it in your ~/.env file.

Can I find trending papers from the last two weeks?▼

Yes, use the trending mode with a days override, such as querying 'trending' with '- days: 14 - max: 10'. Supported time windows are 7, 14, and 30 days.

What happens if the deepxiv_fetch.py adapter is not found?▼

The skill falls back to raw deepxiv CLI commands documented for each operation. If the CLI itself is unavailable, it suggests installing deepxiv-sdk or using alternative literature search skills.
