research-paper-kb
Persistent research paper knowledge base for AI agents.
Ingest any paper (arXiv URL, DOI, or title) and extract structured intelligence into a permanent PAPERS.md knowledge base that survives across sessions. Never lose context on a paper again.
Trigger Conditions
Use this skill when the user:
- Pastes an arXiv URL (e.g.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.12345)
- Pastes a DOI (e.g.
10.1038/s41586-024-07156-8)
- Says "add this paper to my KB" / "track this paper" / "save this paper"
- Says "what do we know about [paper title]"
- Says "update my paper KB" / "scan my PAPERS.md"
- Says "show me the papers I'm tracking" / "what papers have I saved"
What This Skill Does
- Fetches the paper abstract, metadata, and key sections
- Extracts structured intelligence (method, gap, threat level, overlap)
- Generates a clean BibTeX entry
- Appends a structured entry to
PAPERS.md in the workspace
- Updates
MEMORY.md with a pointer so future sessions know the KB exists
- Works across sessions — the knowledge base is a file, not context
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Identify the Paper
Accept any of:
- arXiv URL:
https://arxiv.org/abs/XXXX.XXXXX
- arXiv ID:
2310.12345 or 2310.12345v2
- DOI:
10.XXXX/...
- Title string: look up via Semantic Scholar API
Normalize to arXiv ID or DOI before proceeding.
Step 2: Fetch Paper Metadata
For arXiv papers — fetch the abstract page:
https://arxiv.org/abs/<arxiv_id>
Extract: title, authors, date, abstract, subject categories.
Also fetch the Semantic Scholar API for structured metadata:
https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/arXiv:<arxiv_id>?fields=title,authors,year,abstract,tldr,citationCount,influentialCitationCount,fieldsOfStudy
For DOI papers — use Semantic Scholar:
https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/<DOI>?fields=title,authors,year,abstract,tldr,citationCount,influentialCitationCount,externalIds
