What it does
Quick single-paper lookup via AlphaXiv LLM-optimized summaries with tiered source fallback. Use when user says "explain this paper", "summarize paper", pastes an arXiv/AlphaXiv URL, or provides a bare arXiv ID for quick understanding - not for broad literature search.
AlphaXiv Paper Lookup
Lookup paper: $ARGUMENTS
Quick single-paper reader with tiered source fallback (overview → full markdown → LaTeX source). Powered by AlphaXiv.
Role & Positioning
This skill is the quick single-paper reader that returns LLM-optimized summaries:
| Skill | Source | Best for |
|---|---|---|
/arxiv | arXiv API | Batch search, PDF download, metadata |
/deepxiv | DeepXiv SDK | Progressive section-level reading |
/semantic-scholar | S2 API | Published venue metadata, citation counts |
/alphaxiv | www.alphaxiv.org | Instant LLM-optimized summary of one paper, with LaTeX source fallback |
Do NOT use this skill for topic discovery, broad literature search, or multi-paper surveys, use /research-lit or /arxiv instead.
Constants
- OVERVIEW_URL =
https://www.alphaxiv.org/overview/{PAPER_ID}.md - ABS_URL =
https://www.alphaxiv.org/abs/{PAPER_ID}.md - ARXIV_SRC_URL =
https://arxiv.org/src/{PAPER_ID} - ALPHAXIV_UA =
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/124.0.0.0 Safari/537.36, any modern browser UA works; update the version numbers if AlphaXiv starts blocking this value again
Overrides (append to arguments):
/alphaxiv 2401.12345, quick overview/alphaxiv "https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.12345", auto-extract ID/alphaxiv 2401.12345 - depth: src, force LaTeX source inspection/alphaxiv 2401.12345 - depth: abs, force full markdown
Workflow
Step 1: Parse Arguments & Extract Paper ID
Parse $ARGUMENTS to extract a bare arXiv paper ID. Accept these input formats:
