# AlphaXiv Paper Lookup

Paste an arXiv link, get the paper explained

## What this does

Someone sends you an arXiv link and you want to know what the paper says without reading all of it. Paste the link or the ID and this looks it up and summarizes it, trying other sources if the first one does not have it. It is for one paper at a time, not for surveying a field.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Explain a paper I just found
- Summarize an arXiv paper from its ID
- Get up to speed on one paper quickly

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About AlphaXiv Paper Lookup

This is a quick single-paper lookup, using AlphaXiv summaries written for use by language models, with a tiered fallback to other sources when needed.

It triggers on the ordinary ways people ask: "explain this paper", "summarize paper", a pasted arXiv or AlphaXiv URL, or a bare arXiv ID. It is for understanding one paper quickly and is not intended for broad literature search.

## Questions

### Is AlphaXiv Paper Lookup safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of AlphaXiv Paper Lookup and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit c5f3d5bfc694, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/alphaxiv.

### How do I install AlphaXiv Paper Lookup?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/alphaxiv on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wanshuiyin/auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep/tree/c5f3d5bfc694a812012729841e9697223e4f2130/skills/skills-codex/alphaxiv.
