| description | Add arXiv papers to arx by queueing downloads through arxd and tracking the durable download queue. |
Use this skill when a user wants a paper added to the local arx cache, needs PDF or TeX source material, or needs to know how arx downloading works.
lookup_arxiv_papers for the target ids. Confirm which material is already cached and which material is missing.fetch_arxiv_paper only for missing material that is actually needed. It queues work through arxd and returns immediately with a job id.get_arxiv_download_queue_status with the returned job_id to inspect one job, or with include_finished: true to see completed and failed jobs after arxd exits.lookup_arxiv_papers again to refresh readiness, then use full_text_search when the task requires paper text.arxd enforces the shared arXiv request delay across CLI and MCP clients.arxd restarts, so include_finished: true is the reliable default for follow-up checks.
