## Description

Search and progressively read open-access academic papers through DeepXiv. Use when the user wants layered paper access, section-level reading, trending papers, or DeepXiv-backed literature retrieval.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# DeepXiv Paper Search & Progressive Reading

Search topic or paper ID: $ARGUMENTS

## Role & Positioning

DeepXiv is the **progressive-reading** literature source:

| 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 |

Use DeepXiv when you want to avoid loading full papers too early.

## Constants

- **DEEPXIV_FETCHER**, canonical name `deepxiv_fetch.py`, resolved per
  [`shared-references/integration-contract.md`](../shared-references/integration-contract.md) §2
  (Policy D1, primary + fallback cascade). If unresolved (canonical
  chain exhausted), fall back to the raw `deepxiv` CLI (documented per
  command below).
- **MAX_RESULTS = 10**, Default number of results to return.

> Overrides (append to arguments):
> - `/deepxiv "agent memory" - max: 5`, top 5 results
> - `/deepxiv "2409.05591" - brief`, quick paper summary
> - `/deepxiv "2409.05591" - head`, metadata + section overview
> - `/deepxiv "2409.05591" - section: Introduction`, read one section only
> - `/deepxiv "trending" - days: 14 - max: 10`, trending papers
> - `/deepxiv "karpathy" - web`, DeepXiv web search
> - `/deepxiv "258001" - sc`, Semantic Scholar metadata by ID

## Setup

DeepXiv is optional. If the CLI is not installed, tell the user:

```bash
pip install deepxiv-sdk
```
