Anna's Archive Skill

Trit: 0 (ERGODIC - coordinates retrieval across sources)
Foundation: Anna's Archive API + academic-research skill
Principle: Unified access to shadow libraries for research

Overview

Anna's Archive is a search engine for shadow libraries:

• Library Genesis (LibGen) - books and papers
• Z-Library - ebooks
• Sci-Hub - academic papers
• Internet Archive - open library

This skill integrates with the ANNA_SELF token for authenticated access.

Configuration

# In ~/.topos/.env
export ANNA_SELF="your_anna_archive_key"

API Reference

Search Operations

// Using archive_of_anna (Node.js)
const ArchiveOfAnna = require('archive_of_anna');

// Search for books
const results = await ArchiveOfAnna.search({
  text: "category theory",
  lang: "en",
  content: "book_nonfiction",
  ext: "pdf",
  sort: "newest"
});

// Result structure
// [{
//   title: "Category Theory for Programmers",
//   authors: ["Bartosz Milewski"],
//   md5: "abc123...",
//   coverUrl: "https://...",
//   filesize: "5.2 MB",
//   extension: "pdf"
// }]

Content Fetching

// Fetch download links by MD5 hash
const content = await ArchiveOfAnna.fetch_by_md5("abc123...");

// Returns detailed metadata + download links
// {
//   title: "...",
//   downloadLinks: {
//     libgenRsFork: "https://...",
//     ipfs: "ipfs://...",
//     tor: "http://..."
//   }
// }

DuckDB Caching

-- Cache search results in DuckDB
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS anna_cache (
    md5 VARCHAR PRIMARY KEY,
    title VARCHAR,
    authors VARCHAR[],
    extension VARCHAR,
    filesize VARCHAR,
    download_links JSON,
    trit TINYINT,
    cached_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- Insert cached result
INSERT INTO anna_cache (md5, title, authors, extension, trit)
VALUES ('abc123', 'Category Theory', ARRAY['Mac Lane'], 'pdf', 0);

-- Query with GF(3) balance
SELECT trit, COUNT(*) as count
FROM anna_cache
GROUP BY trit
ORDER BY trit;

CLI Usage

# Search for books
