alphaXiv

Gets compact profiles for one or many researchers. Pass full names or exact raw [SLUG=...] handles together in `researchers`; each name resolves to the best-matching indexed researcher, tolerating a misspelling. Never use get_researcher merely before get_researcher_papers; a larger or date-bounded paper question goes directly there. Current positions and up to five curated past positions are returned by default; request additional sections with `include`. Papers are independently opt-in for small profile context. For compact current-role enrichment of names extracted from a webpage, use resolve_researchers.

Papers on alphaXiv for one or many researchers, grouped per researcher. Pass full names or exact raw [SLUG=...] handles together in `researchers`; each name resolves to the best-matching indexed researcher, tolerating a misspelling. Never call get_researcher or find_researchers first for one named person's papers. Sort 'recent' with published_after answers what-are-they-doing-now; 'cited' answers best-known work. Paper [ID=...] handles chain into the paper tools.

Lists the papers the user has written private notes or highlights on, most recently annotated first, 25 per page. Each row gives the paper id, title, highlight count, whether there are notes, and when it was last annotated. Use it to find which papers to read with get_paper_notes, for example when the user asks about their notes across papers or what they have been reading.

List the researcher profiles the user follows, with each one's slug, name, current headline or affiliation, and citation count. Following a researcher surfaces their new papers in the user's alphaXiv feed. Pass a slug from here to get_researcher or get_researcher_papers for the full profile.

List the user's alphaXiv library: their folders (bookmark collections) with folder_id, name, type, parent_id, sharing_status, and paper_count. Set include_papers to also list papers per folder, each with its id, title, publication date, and whether it is a public arXiv paper or one the user uploaded themselves. Pass paper_ids_or_urls to check which folders already contain specific papers. The default folders 'default-to-read', 'default-reading', and 'default-completed' represent reading status; a paper may belong to any number of folders at once.

Move papers from a source folder to a destination folder in a single atomic operation: each paper is added to the destination and removed from the source. A paper already in the destination is reported as a duplicate and still removed from the source. Get folder ids from list_library.

Reads files or directories from a GitHub repository, including a paper's project website source. For owner.github.io sites, try owner/owner.github.io; for owner.github.io/project/, try owner/project first. These are candidates, not guaranteed source repositories. For project videos, read the webpage first. Inspect website source only when the page omits a playable URL for a needed demo; do not recheck assets the page already exposes. Look in HTML, components, and asset manifests. Special behaviors: 1. When path is '/', returns repository structure and the contents of top-level files. Large repositories may be limited to top-level entries. 2. When path points to a directory, returns a list of files and directories, with contents of readable files fetched in parallel. Omitted files include a reason and raw URL when available. 3. When path points to a file, returns its contents. Binary files are rejected with a raw URL; PDFs should be queried with answer_pdf_queries.

Remove one or more papers from a single folder in the user's library. Only affects the given folder; the paper stays in any others. Get folder_id from list_library.

Rename a custom folder. Only custom folders can be renamed, not the default reading-status or publications folders. Get folder_id from list_library.

Turns a list of people extracted from a webpage or other external source into current, citeable alphaXiv researcher entries. Use this once after reading a roster, team page, award list, or similar source, before repeating its possibly stale affiliations. Pass every person in one batch. Optional personal URLs and related researchers disambiguate names; related anchors are matching context, not proof of the source's claimed relationship.

Add one or more papers (by arXiv id or alphaXiv/arXiv URL) to a folder in the user's library. Papers not yet in the database are fetched from arXiv. Omit folder_id to save to the 'Want to read' folder. Get folder_id from list_library. Adding is idempotent and never removes a paper from its other folders.

Stop following a researcher. Idempotent: unfollowing someone not followed changes nothing. Get the slug from list_followed_researchers.
