ArXiv Watcher

This skill interacts with the ArXiv API to find and summarize the latest research papers.

Capabilities

• Search: Find papers by keyword, author, or category.
• Summarize: Fetch the abstract and provide a concise summary.
• Save to Memory: Automatically record summarized papers to memory/RESEARCH_LOG.md for long-term tracking.
• Deep Dive: Use web_fetch on the PDF link to extract more details if requested.

Workflow

1. Use scripts/search_arxiv.sh "<query>" to get the XML results.
2. Parse the XML (look for <entry>, <title>, <summary>, and <link title="pdf">).
3. Present the findings to the user.
4. MANDATORY: Append the title, authors, date, and summary of any paper discussed to memory/RESEARCH_LOG.md. Use the format:

   ### [YYYY-MM-DD] TITLE_OF_PAPER
   - **Authors**: Author List
   - **Link**: ArXiv Link
   - **Summary**: Brief summary of the paper and its relevance.
