Version History
**v1.2.0 · 2026/3/8** - Added `report` command to generate comprehensive Markdown reports from all `analysis.json` files - Report includes keyword statistics, overview table, and detailed content for each paper - Supports sorting by year (default), title, or author - Generates clean, readable Markdown format with tables, headers, and structured content - Updated documentation to include the new report command in workflows and examples
What This Skill Does
hxxra is a research assistant that runs five commands: search papers on Google Scholar or arXiv, download PDFs, analyze content with an LLM, generate Markdown reports, and save references to Zotero. It communicates via stdin/stdout JSON and is invoked through a Python script.
Combining search, download, LLM analysis, and Zotero export in a single pipeline eliminates the need to switch between separate tools for each step of a literature review.
When to use it
- Searching arXiv for recent papers on a specific ML topic
- Downloading and analyzing a batch of PDFs from search results
- Generating a structured Markdown report sorted by publication year
- Saving curated paper sets to a Zotero collection for citation management
- Running a full literature review pipeline from search to report in one session
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: find and analyze recent papers on graph neural networks, then save them to Zotero
- 1Run search command with query 'graph neural networks', source arxiv, limit 10, output to searches/gnn_arxiv.json
- 2Run download command pointing to gnn_arxiv.json, saving PDFs to papers/
- 3Run analyze command on the papers/ directory to produce analysis.json files per paper
- 4Run report command on papers/ to generate a Markdown summary sorted by year
- 5Run save command with gnn_arxiv.json pointing to a Zotero collection named 'GNN Papers'
Downloaded PDFs with per-paper analysis.json files, a compiled report.md, and all papers saved to the specified Zotero collection
Requirements
Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
