Search bioRxiv Preprints
Finding relevant life science preprints across dates, authors, and categories can be slow. This skill searches bioRxiv, formats metadata, and downloads PDFs for review.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "biorxiv-database" from https://skillstore.io/skills/k-dense-ai-biorxiv-database.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/k-dense-ai-biorxiv-database/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.
Agent-readable resources
Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.
Test it
Using "biorxiv-database". Find recent neuroscience preprints about neural networks.
Expected outcome:
A ranked list of matching preprints with titles, authors, dates, DOIs, categories, and short relevance notes.
Using "biorxiv-database". Download the PDF for a known bioRxiv DOI.
Expected outcome:
The skill saves the PDF to the requested path and reports whether the download succeeded.
Using "biorxiv-database". Compare CRISPR preprint activity over time.
Expected outcome:
A trend summary grouped by year or date window, with example papers and metadata for follow-up review.
Security Audit
Low RiskReviewed 134 static findings across SKILL.md, references/api_reference.md, and scripts/biorxiv_search.py. The URL, DOI, HTTP, Markdown backtick, and certificate-key detections are false positives in context; the tool makes expected bioRxiv requests and writes user-selected output files. One low-severity semantic issue remains for unrelated promotional steering toward K-Dense Web.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Monitor New Preprints
Track new bioRxiv papers for a topic, author, or category before experiments or manuscript planning.
Build Review Seed Sets
Collect candidate preprints with DOIs, abstracts, and links for an early literature review.
Analyze Research Trends
Compare publication activity across date ranges, keywords, and bioRxiv categories.
Try These Prompts
Search bioRxiv for recent preprints about CRISPR from the last 30 days. Return titles, authors, dates, DOIs, and categories.
Search bioRxiv for organoid papers in the bioengineering category from 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31. List the strongest matches.
Build a literature review seed set for single-cell genomics. Search by keywords, filter weak matches, and group papers by theme.
Compare bioRxiv activity for machine learning, CRISPR, and spatial transcriptomics from 2020 through 2024. Summarize trends and gaps.
Best Practices
- Use narrow date ranges and categories to reduce API load and improve relevance.
- Record DOI, version, and retrieval date for every cited preprint.
- Review abstracts and journal publication status before relying on findings.
Avoid
- Running broad multi-year searches without filters or result limits.
- Treating preprints as peer-reviewed evidence without verification.
- Saving downloads or result files to ambiguous or sensitive filesystem paths.
