# arXiv

Use this skill when the task is about research papers, preprints, or recent academic work.

## Preferred Flow

1. Search by topic, author, or identifier.
2. Read title, abstract, date, and venue context before summarizing.
3. Distinguish clearly between paper claims and your own inference.

## Guardrails

- Prefer direct paper metadata over secondhand summaries.
- Cite the paper link when the user needs sources.
