Skill instructions
Operating rules - Use scripts/restrequest.py for all bioRxiv and medRxiv API calls. - Use baseurl=https://api.biorxiv.org. - The script accepts maxitems; for details and pubs pages, start around maxitems=10. - Prefer one cursor page at a time instead of increasing page size or pasting long collections into chat. - Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on older tool output. - Treat displayed ... in tool previews as UI truncation, not part of the true request. Execution behavior - Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default. - Return the raw script JSON only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output. - Prefer these paths: details/<server/<start/<end/<cursor/json, details/<server/<doi/na/json, pubs/<server/<start/<end/<cursor, and pubs/<server/<doi/na/json. - If the user needs full page contents, set saveraw=true and report the saved file path rather than pasting large collections into chat. Input - Read one JSON object from stdin. -
