biorxiv-searchlisted

Search bioRxiv preprints through the official bioRxiv API and locally filter titles, abstracts, and authors for keyword queries. Use when you need recent biology preprints, bioRxiv-native metadata, date-range scans, DOI lookups, or author shortlists that may not yet appear in peer-reviewed literature indexes.

# bioRxiv Search Search bioRxiv through its official API for recent-preprint discovery, date-range scans, DOI lookups, author shortlisting, and local keyword filtering over title, abstract, and author metadata. ## Instructions 1. Prefer this skill when the request is about bioRxiv-native preprints, recent biology submissions, or preprint metadata that may lag in PubMed, PMC, or Crossref. 2. Use the bundled CLI: - In this repository: `skills/biorxiv-search/scripts/search` - After installation: `~/.agents/skills/biorxiv-search/scripts/search` 3. The official bioRxiv API does not provide a general server-side keyword search endpoint. - Use the CLI to fetch metadata from a bounded recent window or explicit date range, then filter locally. 4. When keywords are provided, search `title`, `abstract`, and `authors` by default. - If the user wants abstract-only matching, pass `--fields abstract`. 5. Keep the search window bounded. - Use `--days N` for recent scans or `--start-date YYYY-MM-DD --end-date YYYY-MM-DD` for explicit intervals. - If you omit the interval, the CLI defaults to the most recent 30 days. - The CLI converts `--days N` into an explicit date range before calling the API so pagination stays predictable. 6. Use `--category <name>` when the topic should stay narrow. - The API accepts the bioRxiv category as a query parameter such as `cell_biology`, `genomics`, or `neuroscience`. 7. Use `--author` for author-specific requests. - By default,
