DeepXiv Baseline Table

Use this skill when the user wants to map a topic into a comparison table, baseline survey, benchmark roundup, or "what papers evaluated on which datasets with what scores and whether code is open".

Typical requests:

• "Find recent baseline papers on agentic memory"
• "What papers in the last month evaluated on dataset X?"
• "Make me a markdown table of methods, datasets, and scores"

Goal

Turn a topic search into a structured markdown table:

1. Search recent papers with deepxiv search
2. Brief all candidates with deepxiv paper <id> --brief
3. Keep the relevant papers, prioritizing papers with GitHub/code
4. Inspect promising papers with deepxiv paper <id> --head
5. Read experiment-related sections with deepxiv paper <id> --section ...
6. Extract datasets, evaluation setup, and reported scores
7. Write a markdown table summarizing the baselines

Default Workflow

1. Search by topic and date range

Use a broad search first.

deepxiv search "agentic memory" --date-from 2026-03-01 --limit 100 --format json

Default heuristics:

• Use the user’s exact topic phrase first
• Keep --limit high enough to avoid missing relevant papers
• If results are noisy, refine the query with close variants

Examples:

deepxiv search "agentic memory" --date-from 2026-03-01 --limit 100 --format json
deepxiv search "memory agents long-horizon" --date-from 2026-03-01 --limit 100 --format json
deepxiv search "agent memory benchmark" --date-from 2026-03-01 --limit 100 --format json

2. Brief all candidates

For each arXiv ID, fetch:

deepxiv paper <arxiv_id> --brief

Capture:

• title
• arXiv ID
• publish date
• TLDR
• keywords
• GitHub URL
• PDF/source URL

This is the screening step. Do not read full sections yet.

3. Filter and prioritize

Keep papers that are actually about the topic, not just adjacent terms.

Prioritize:

• papers directly centered on the topic
• empirical papers over purely conceptual ones
• papers with GitHub/code
• benchmark or comparison papers
• papers with clear experiment sections
