# AlphaXiv Paper Lookup Lookup paper: $ARGUMENTS > Quick single-paper reader with tiered source fallback (overview → full markdown → LaTeX source). Powered by [AlphaXiv](https://alphaxiv.org). ## Role & Positioning This skill is the **quick single-paper reader** that returns LLM-optimized summaries: | Skill | Source | Best for | |-------|--------|----------| | `/arxiv` | arXiv API | Batch search, PDF download, metadata | | `/deepxiv` | DeepXiv SDK | Progressive section-level reading | | `/semantic-scholar` | S2 API | Published venue metadata, citation counts | | **`/alphaxiv`** | **alphaxiv.org** | **Instant LLM-optimized summary of one paper, with LaTeX source fallback** | **Do NOT use this skill for** topic discovery, broad literature search, or multi-paper surveys — use `/research-lit` or `/arxiv` instead. ## Constants - **OVERVIEW_URL** = `https://alphaxiv.org/overview/{PAPER_ID}.md` - **ABS_URL** = `https://alphaxiv.org/abs/{PAPER_ID}.md` - **ARXIV_SRC_URL** = `https://arxiv.org/src/{PAPER_ID}` - **ALPHAXIV_UA** = `Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/124.0.0.0 Safari/537.36` — any modern browser UA works; update the version numbers if AlphaXiv starts blocking this value again > Overrides (append to arguments): > - `/alphaxiv 2401.12345` — quick overview > - `/alphaxiv "https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.12345"` — auto-extract ID > - `/alphaxiv 2401.12345 - depth: src` — force LaTeX source inspection > - `/alphaxi...
