DeepXiv Paper Search & Progressive Reading

Search topic or paper ID: $ARGUMENTS

Role & Positioning

DeepXiv is the progressive-reading literature source:

Use DeepXiv when you want to avoid loading full papers too early.

Constants

shared-references/integration-contract.md §2 (Policy D1 — primary + fallback cascade). If unresolved (canonical chain exhausted), fall back to the raw deepxiv CLI (documented per command below).

• DEEPXIVFETCHER — canonical name deepxivfetch.py, resolved per

• MAXRESULTS = 10** — Default number of results to return.

Overrides (append to arguments):

- /deepxiv "agent memory" - max: 5 — top 5 results

- /deepxiv "2409.05591" - brief — quick paper summary

- /deepxiv "2409.05591" - head — metadata + section overview

- /deepxiv "2409.05591" - section: Introduction — read one section only

- /deepxiv "trending" - days: 14 - max: 10 — trending papers

- /deepxiv "karpathy" - web — DeepXiv web search

- /deepxiv "258001" - sc — Semantic Scholar metadata by ID

Setup

DeepXiv is optional. If the CLI is not installed, tell the user:

pip install deepxiv-sdk

On first use, deepxiv auto-registers a free token and stores it in ~/.env.

Workflow

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS for:

• Query or ID: a paper topic, arXiv ID, or Semantic Scholar ID
• - max: N: override MAX_RESULTS
• - brief: fetch paper brief
• - head: fetch metadata and section map
• - section: NAME: fetch one named section
• - trending or query trending: fetch trending papers
• - days: 7|14|30: trending time window
• - web: run DeepXiv web search
• - sc: fetch Semantic Scholar metadata by ID

If the main argument looks like an arXiv ID and no explicit mode is given, default to - brief.

Step 2: Locate the Adapter

Resolve $DEEPXIV_FETCHER via the canonical strict-safe chain (see shared-references/integration-contract.md §2). Policy D1 cascade: the resolved adapter is preferred; if unresolved (canonical chain exhausted), fall back to raw deepxiv CLI commands documented in Step 3.

cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)" || exit 1
if [ -z "${ARIS_REPO:-}" ] && [ -f .aris/installed-skills.txt ]; then
    ARIS_REPO=$(awk -F'\t' '$1=="repo_root"{print $2; exit}' .aris/installed-skills.txt 2>/dev/null) || true
fi
if [ -z "${ARIS_REPO:-}" ] && [ -f "$HOME/.aris/repo" ]; then
    ARIS_REPO=$(cat "$HOME/.aris/repo" 2>/dev/null) || true
fi
DEEPXIV_FETCHER=".aris/tools/deepxiv_fetch.py"
[ -f "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" ] || DEEPXIV_FETCHER="tools/deepxiv_fetch.py"
[ -f "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" ] || { [ -n "${ARIS_REPO:-}" ] && DEEPXIV_FETCHER="$ARIS_REPO/tools/deepxiv_fetch.py"; }
[ -f "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" ] || DEEPXIV_FETCHER=""

# Smoke test (optional — adapter resolution shown to user). The cascade
# in Step 3 below branches purely on `[ -n "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" ]`; a
# resolved-but-non-functional adapter is not currently auto-demoted.
if [ -n "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" ]; then
  echo "DeepXiv adapter resolved at: $DEEPXIV_FETCHER" >&2
else
  echo "DeepXiv adapter unresolved (canonical chain exhausted); raw deepxiv CLI fallback will be used." >&2
fi

Step 3: Execute the Minimal Command

Search papers

python3 "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" search "QUERY" --max MAX_RESULTS

Fallback:

deepxiv search "QUERY" --limit MAX_RESULTS --format json

Brief summary

python3 "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" paper-brief ARXIV_ID

Fallback:

deepxiv paper ARXIV_ID --brief --format json

Section map

python3 "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" paper-head ARXIV_ID

Fallback:

deepxiv paper ARXIV_ID --head --format json

Specific section

python3 "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" paper-section ARXIV_ID "SECTION_NAME"

Fallback:

deepxiv paper ARXIV_ID --section "SECTION_NAME" --format json

Trending

python3 "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" trending --days 7 --max MAX_RESULTS

Fallback:

deepxiv trending --days 7 --limit MAX_RESULTS --output json

Web search

python3 "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" wsearch "QUERY"

Fallback:

deepxiv wsearch "QUERY" --output json

Semantic Scholar metadata

python3 "$DEEPXIV_FETCHER" sc "SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_ID"

Fallback:

deepxiv sc "SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_ID" --output json

Step 4: Present Results

When searching, present a compact table:
