deepxiv

deepxiv is a skill for Claude Code from wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,369 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for finding open-access academic papers and reading them progressively, starting with a summary or section list before loading detailed sections. DeepXiv is the paper-reading service it uses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search research topics or paper IDs, inspect paper metadata and sections, and read selected parts in depth.
Why use it?
It helps avoid loading an entire paper too early and makes it easier to focus on the parts relevant to a question.

About the project

ARIS is a collection of Markdown-based skills that define a workflow for autonomous machine-learning research, including idea discovery, experiment automation, and review loops. Researchers and AI coding agents use it across tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw without depending on a single framework. The catalogue entries are ARIS workflow skills and agents.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

deepxiv scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DeepXiv Paper Search & Progressive Reading

Search topic or paper ID: $ARGUMENTS

Role & Positioning

DeepXiv is the progressive-reading literature source:

Skill Source Best for
/arxiv arXiv API Batch search, PDF download, metadata
/deepxiv DeepXiv SDK Progressive section-level reading
/semantic-scholar S2 API Published venue metadata, citation counts
/alphaxiv alphaxiv.org Instant LLM-optimized summary of one paper, with LaTeX source fallback

Use DeepXiv when you want to avoid loading full papers too early.

Constants

  • DEEPXIV_FETCHER — canonical name deepxiv_fetch.py, resolved per shared-references/integration-contract.md §2 (Policy D1 — primary + fallback cascade). If unresolved (canonical chain exhausted), fall back to the raw deepxiv CLI (documented per command below).
  • MAX_RESULTS = 10 — Default number of results to return.

Overrides (append to arguments):

  • /deepxiv "agent memory" - max: 5 — top 5 results
  • /deepxiv "2409.05591" - brief — quick paper summary
  • /deepxiv "2409.05591" - head — metadata + section overview
  • /deepxiv "2409.05591" - section: Introduction — read one section only
  • /deepxiv "trending" - days: 14 - max: 10 — trending papers
  • /deepxiv "karpathy" - web — DeepXiv web search
  • /deepxiv "258001" - sc — Semantic Scholar metadata by ID

Setup

DeepXiv is optional. If the CLI is not installed, tell the user:

pip install deepxiv-sdk

On first use, deepxiv auto-registers a free token and stores it in ~/.env.

Workflow

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS for:

  • Query or ID: a paper topic, arXiv ID, or Semantic Scholar ID
  • - max: N: override MAX_RESULTS
  • - brief: fetch paper brief
  • - head: fetch metadata and section map
  • - section: NAME: fetch one named section
  • - trending or query trending: fetch trending papers
  • - days: 7|14|30: trending time window
  • - web: run DeepXiv web search
  • - sc: fetch Semantic Scholar metadata by ID

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

deepxiv is a skill published in the GitHub repository wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep (15,970 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 2,369 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
