biorxiv-database

combined

Efficient database search tool for bioRxiv preprint server. Use this skill when searching for life sciences preprints by keywords, authors, date ranges, or categories, retrieving paper metadata, downloading PDFs, or conducting literature reviews. Search, retrieve metadata, and download PDFs for bioRxiv preprints; use when you need to discover biology preprints by keywords/authors/date ranges and programmatically fetch their details.

When to use

• Searching for recent preprints in specific research areas
• Tracking publications by particular authors
• Conducting systematic literature reviews
• Analyzing research trends over time periods
• Retrieving metadata for citation management
• Downloading preprint PDFs for analysis
• Filtering papers by bioRxiv subject categories
• You need to find recent bioRxiv preprints for a topic (e.g., "CRISPR") within a specific time window (last N days).

When not to use

• Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
• Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
• Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.

Conflict

Both copies describe the same bioRxiv search/download skill, but they disagree on the CLI surface and add different material capabilities. The aipoch copy documents a minimal BioRxivSearcher API and a simple CLI (keyword + days_back), while the FreedomIntelligence copy documents a richer CLI with --keywords, --author, --start-date, --end-date, --category, --doi, --download-pdf, --search-fields, and --output, plus a full JSON output schema and a list of valid categories. Crowning one copy would hide the other's real workflow options, so the catalog should combine them and flag the CLI conflict.
