Search Paper

You must read and apply the language rules before you write any output.

Usage

You invoke this skill by name. Slash-command hosts use /search-paper "<query>".

search-paper "post-quantum threshold signatures" --source iacr --max-results 15

Scripts

You run scripts through the shell with paths relative to this skill directory. All scripts write JSON to stdout.

You use these command forms:

python3 arxiv.py search "BFT consensus communication complexity" --max-results 10 --categories cs.CR,cs.DC
python3 arxiv.py recent "threshold signatures" --max-results 10 --categories cs.CR
python3 arxiv.py download 2305.12345 --output-dir reaper-workspace/papers/
python3 iacr.py search "threshold signatures" --max-results 10
python3 iacr.py recent --max-results 10
python3 iacr.py download 2024/1234 --output-dir reaper-workspace/papers/
python3 iacr.py url 2024/1234
python3 semantic_scholar.py citations 2305.12345 --max-results 20

The arXiv recent command requires a query or --categories. The venue protocol below gives the other command forms.

Instructions

1. You read the query and flags.
2. You select the requested operation. Citation requests use semantic_scholar.py citations <arxiv_id>. Venue requests use the Venue Resolution Protocol.
3. For paper discovery, you use iacr.py search and arxiv.py search --categories cs.CR for cryptography or security.
4. For other computer science discovery, you use arxiv.py search with suitable categories.
5. You present results in this table with quoted abstract excerpts for highly relevant papers.

| # | Title | Authors | Year | Venue | ID | Link |
|---|-------|---------|------|-------|----|------|
| 1 | ... | ... | ... | ... | arXiv:XXXX.XXXXX | [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/XXXX.XXXXX) |

Venue Resolution Protocol

An archive ID does not identify a publication venue. You find a venue for every paper in a literature review or report reference list. You run these layers in order. You stop at the first successful result.

Layer 1: Semantic Scholar

python3 semantic_scholar.py venue --arxiv <arxiv_id>
python3 semantic_scholar.py venue --title "<exact title>"

You use title search for papers without an arXiv ID. If found: true and venue contains a value, you record source = "semantic_scholar".

Layer 2: Archive Metadata

python3 arxiv.py journal-ref <arxiv_id>
python3 iacr.py pubinfo <eprint_id>

You use the script for the paper's archive. If journal_ref or publication_info contains a value, you record the result. You set source = "arxiv_journal_ref" or source = "iacr_pubinfo".

Layer 3: DBLP

python3 dblp.py venue "<title>" --author "<first author surname>"

If found: true, you record source = "dblp".

Layer 4: OpenAlex

python3 openalex.py venue "<title>"

If found: true, you record source = "openalex".

Layer 5: Preprint Label

If all four layers fail, you label the entry (preprint). You do not infer a venue from the topic or author's institution.

Saved Results

You save venue results in workspace notes to avoid repeated searches. If sources disagree, you prefer the higher-ranked source in this protocol. You prefer a full venue name, such as publicationVenue.name, to an acronym. You record both results if confidence is low.

Quality Criteria

• If an API or script fails, you report the error and continue with other sources or layers.
