# II-Commons ## Overview II-Commons provides deterministic retrieval for research agents across arXiv, PubMed/PMC, and supported US policy corpora. Use it when a task needs reproducible search, metadata lookup, full-document Markdown retrieval, or a freshness check before answering with recent evidence. The upstream project publishes a Node.js CLI as `@intelligentinternet/ii-commons` and a full agent skill at `skills/ii-commons/`. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when searching arXiv, PubMed/PMC, or supported US policy corpora for evidence. - Use when the user asks for latest or recent research and corpus freshness matters. - Use when you need stable identifiers, metadata, or full-document Markdown for downstream analysis. - Use when comparing evidence across scientific literature and policy documents. ## How It Works ### Step 1: Check Corpus Freshness Run `cutoff` before freshness-sensitive searches: ```bash npx @intelligentinternet/ii-commons cutoff ``` Report the relevant cutoff date before interpreting recent results. ### Step 2: Search the Right Corpus Use exactly this command shape: ```bash npx @intelligentinternet/ii-commons search arxiv "large language model inference" --max-results 10 npx @intelligentinternet/ii-commons search pubmed "type 2 diabetes review" --start 20240000 --max-results 10 npx @intelligentinternet/ii-commons search policy "state overtime rule for agricultural workers" --jurisdictions US-CA --max-results 10 ``` Choose `arxiv` for prepri...
