Literature Search Biorxiv

From Google DeepMind's science toolkit, this searches bioRxiv and medRxiv preprint archives by date range rather than keywords. You specify a time window and filter by criteria, which makes sense when you need systematic coverage of recent work rather than relevance-ranked results. The skill explicitly reminds you to check paper licenses since preprints have varying terms. It's passed two security audits but has a warning from Snyk. Worth noting this requires uv to be installed first. If you're doing literature reviews in biology or medicine and need chronological completeness over search ranking, this handles the API calls and license tracking for you.
