| description | Summarize recent hot academic papers using deepxiv trending, brief, head, and section reads, then produce a markdown digest highlighting what each paper is about and which papers deserve deeper reading. |
Use this skill when the user wants a recent hot-paper roundup, trending paper summary, weekly paper digest, or a markdown report based on DeepXiv trending papers.
Turn recent DeepXiv trending papers into a concise markdown digest:
deepxiv trendingdeepxiv paper <id> --briefdeepxiv paper <id> --headdeepxiv paper <id> --section ....md summary with recommendationsStart with a small, recent set unless the user asks otherwise.
deepxiv trending --days 7 --limit 10 --json
Default heuristics:
--days 7 for "recent hot papers"--limit 10 for a manageable first pass--days 14 or --days 30For each selected arXiv ID, fetch a brief first:
deepxiv paper <arxiv_id> --brief
Capture:
Do not jump to full text yet. --brief is the default screening step.
After reading briefs, choose the top 1-3 papers for deeper inspection.
Use signals like:
If a paper sounds incremental, unclear, or out of scope, keep it in the digest but skip deep reading.
For the chosen papers:
deepxiv paper <arxiv_id> --head
Use --head to decide whether to drill down and which section matters most.
Look for sections such as:
Prefer section reads over full paper reads.
Read at most 1-2 sections per paper unless the user explicitly asks for a deep dive.
Examples:
deepxiv paper <arxiv_id> --section Introduction
deepxiv paper <arxiv_id> --section Method
deepxiv paper <arxiv_id> --section Results
Selection guidance:
Introduction if the contribution is still fuzzyMethod if the core idea mattersResults if the claim sounds strong and needs verificationLimitations or Discussion if tradeoffs matterAvoid reading everything.
Write a markdown file in the current workspace unless the user gave a different path.
Recommended filename:
trending-paper-digest-YYYY-MM-DD.md
Recommended structure:
# Trending Paper Digest
Date: YYYY-MM-DD
Window: Last 7 days
Source: deepxiv trending
## Executive Summary
- 2-4 bullets with the main themes across the trending list
- Mention the 1-3 most promising papers
## Papers Reviewed
### 1. Paper Title (`arXiv:xxxx.xxxxx`)
What it is about:
Short paragraph based mainly on `--brief`.
Why it matters:
- Bullet
- Bullet
Worth deeper reading?
Yes/Maybe/No, with one sentence.
If deeper review was done:
Sections checked:
- Introduction
- Method
Deeper notes:
Short paragraph with the key insight, evidence, or caveat.
### 2. ...
## Recommended Deep Dives
### Paper Title
- Why it stands out
- Which section to read next
- What question it could answer
## Cross-Cutting Trends
- Repeated themes
- Common methods
- Shared limitations or hype signals
--brief--head or a section read--head only for the most promising papers--section only after --head suggests a high-value sectiondeepxiv trending --days 7 --limit 5 --json

deepxiv paper 2603.26221 --brief
deepxiv paper 2603.20639 --head

Then write the digest as markdown and clearly label:
Build a markdown baseline table for a research topic using deepxiv search, brief, head, and experiment-section reads, extracting paper title, URL, open-source status, datasets, benchmark scores, and other comparison-ready details.
