What biorxiv-skill does

The skill routes bioRxiv and medRxiv API calls through the scripts/rest_request.py script. It handles metadata lookups, publication linkage checks, and DOI queries. By default, the script outputs concise Markdown summaries. It can also emit raw JSON or save entire responses to a file when save_raw is set.

Parameters pass into the Python script via stdin as a single JSON object. The execution model relies on cursor pagination with a default limit of 10 items per page. That keeps the chat context clean.

This skill suits developers and researchers who query biomedical preprints from Codex. Skip it if your daily tasks do not touch academic literature.

What it helps with

  • fetch bioRxiv or medRxiv preprint metadata by DOI
  • list preprints published within a specific date range
  • verify publication links between a preprint and a journal article
  • save full raw API responses directly to a local file

Example prompts for the agent

  • Look up bioRxiv preprint metadata for the specified DOI.
  • Fetch recent medRxiv preprints for a date range with a limit of 10 items.
  • Check if this bioRxiv preprint is linked to a published journal article.
