alphaxiv-paper-lookup

Look up any arxiv paper on alphaxiv.org to get a structured AI-generated overview. This is faster and more reliable than trying to read a raw PDF.

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The content is a model of a lean, actionable single-purpose skill: executable commands, a clear sequenced workflow with explicit error handling, and well-organized sections. No substantive weaknesses relative to the rubric.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean: it gives executable curl commands, a parsing table, and short error notes without explaining concepts Claude already knows; it earns a 3 against the 'lean and efficient; every token earns its place' anchor rather than the 2 where unnecessary explanation appears.

3 / 3

Actionability

It provides copy-paste-ready executable commands (`curl -s "https://alphaxiv.org/overview/{PAPER_ID}.md"`) plus a concrete paper-ID parsing table, matching the 'fully executable code/commands; copy-paste ready' anchor; it is not vague or pseudocode, so it is above a 2.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Steps are explicitly sequenced (Step 1 extract ID, Step 2 fetch report, Step 3 fallback) with explicit 404 error handling and a fallback chain to the PDF, matching the 'clear sequence with explicit validation steps' anchor; this is a read-only lookup so the destructive-operation feedback-loop cap does not apply.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

This is a simple single-purpose skill under 50 lines with no external references, and its sections (When to Use, Workflow, Error Handling, Notes) are well organized, so per the simple_skills note it scores 3 without needing separate files.

Description

57%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description clearly conveys a distinctive, concrete capability but lacks an explicit 'when to use' trigger clause and only partial natural-keyword coverage. It is solid at the domain level but would benefit from explicit trigger phrasing.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause listing triggers (e.g., 'Use when the user shares an arxiv/alphaxiv URL, mentions a paper ID, or asks to summarize or explain a research paper').

Broaden natural trigger terms to include 'summarize', 'explain', and 'research paper' so the description matches how users actually phrase the request.

Name a second concrete action beyond 'get a structured overview' (e.g., 'fetch the full paper text as a fallback') to raise specificity.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It names the domain ("arxiv paper on alphaxiv.org") and one concrete action ("get a structured AI-generated overview") but does not list multiple specific actions, matching the 'names domain and some actions, but not comprehensive' anchor rather than the multi-action level 3.

2 / 3

Completeness

It clearly states what the skill does ("Look up any arxiv paper... to get a structured AI-generated overview") but has no explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause; the guideline caps completeness at 2 for missing explicit trigger guidance, and it is not weak enough for a 1.

2 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

It includes relevant natural terms ("arxiv paper", "PDF", "overview") but misses common variations users would say like "summarize", "explain", or "research paper", so coverage is partial rather than full.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The alphaxiv/arxiv paper-lookup niche is specific and unlikely to trigger for unrelated skills, matching the 'clear niche with distinct triggers' anchor; a 2 would require overlap with similar skills, which is not present.
