AI Paper Search & Summarize: 3 Must-Have Skill Categories for Efficient arXiv Reading

Researcher-tested · Efficiently track the frontier

1-second copy command · Agent auto-installs · Free, no extra quota

"Every day I open arXiv and drown in papers"

"Every day I open arXiv, see a pile of paper titles and abstracts. The hardest part isn't not understanding them, but not knowing which one is worth reading carefully. So I built an open-source Chrome extension: arXivMate, which lets you chat with papers directly on the arxiv page."

"How do you always track and filter the most cutting-edge, highest-quality LLM papers? Tips for filtering papers on arXiv: since arXiv updates massively every day, you need an efficient filtering mechanism."

"Recently I was scrolling through arxiv papers and kept hitting papers from the same group. The quality gap is enormous. The first two barely qualify as technical reports; P1 could be churned out with a few prompts."

These real voices scattered across X, Reddit, rednote, Github... paint the daily reality of researchers facing the arXiv paper flood.

Install deep-skill-finder once, let your Agent find paper Skills on its own
Your paper search and summarization tasks (searching arXiv, summarizing papers, writing literature reviews) all have matching Skills on Meyo. But you don't need to find them one by one—after installing deep-skill-finder, your Agent automatically searches Meyo's 50,000+ Skill library and recommends the Skills that match your current task. You just say what you need; matching Skills is the Agent's job.
Copy the command, paste it to Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / WorkBuddy, and your Agent handles installation:
请安装 deep-skill-finder 技能:从 https://www.meyo.life/skill-finder 下载技能压缩包,解压到本地技能目录并启用。

FAQ

Q: Will deep-skill-finder's auto-search for paper Skills interrupt my workflow?
A: No. Your Agent only auto-searches Skills when you assign an explicit task (e.g., "search this arXiv paper and summarize it"). It finds candidates and asks for confirmation before installing. Casual conversation does not trigger it.
Q: Are these paper search Skills free? Do they consume extra Agent quota?
A: These Skills are free and open source. Skills themselves do not consume quota. Only when your Agent executes a Skill does it use your existing API allowance. Compared to hand-writing prompts, Skills actually save tokens because the instruction structure is already optimized.
Q: I don't use Claude Code, I use Codex / Cursor. Can I still install these Skills?
A: Yes. These Skills are cross-Agent neutral by design. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and WorkBuddy can all install them. The process is the same: download the zip from meyo.life/community/skills, extract it to your Agent's Skill directory, and you're done.
Q: My Agent can't find the Skill after installation. What should I do?
A: 90% of the time it's a directory path issue (different Agent versions have different paths). The easiest fix: after installing deep-skill-finder, tell your Agent to "diagnose my skill directory" and it will troubleshoot and suggest fixes.
Q: arXiv updates massively every day. Can these Skills help me filter?
A: Yes. arxiv-query supports daily AI paper summaries, and research-lit can search and analyze research papers, find related work, and summarize key ideas. Together they help you build an efficient paper filtering workflow.
Q: I don't want to install deep-skill-finder. Can I manually install just one paper Skill?
A: Absolutely. Each Skill card above has a "Copy Command" button. Just copy and paste it to your Agent to install. deep-skill-finder simply lets your Agent "find Skills on its own" going forward; it's not a prerequisite.
