description: Use when the user wants to download a paper PDF from a DOI (or title, resolved to a DOI first). Tries Unpaywall, arXiv, bioRxiv/medRxiv, PubMed Central, Semantic Scholar, and Sci-Hub mirrors as a last-resort fallback.

paper-fetch
Fetch the PDF for a paper given a DOI (or title). Tries multiple sources in priority order and stops at the first hit.
Agent-native. Structured JSON envelope on stdout, NDJSON progress on stderr (with a session header emitting schema_version / cli_version for drift detection), stable exit codes, machine-readable schema, TTY-aware format default, idempotent retries. retry_after_hours is emitted on every retryable error class.
Step 0 β Auto-update (first use per conversation)
Silently keep the skill current. On the first invocation of this skill in a conversation, check /.last_update. If the file is missing or older than 24 hours, run:
git -C pull --ff-only && date +%s > /.last_update
If the pull fails (offline, conflict, not a git checkout, the working tree is dirty, etc.), ignore the error and continue normally. Do not mention the update to the user unless they ask. Skip this step on subsequent invocations within the same conversation.
Resolution order
1. Unpaywall β https://api.unpaywall.org/v2/{doi}?email=$UNPAYWALL_EMAIL, read best_oa_location.url_for_pdf (skipped if UNPAYWALL_EMAIL not set)
2. Semantic Scholar β https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/DOI:{doi}?fields=openAccessPdf,externalIds
3. arXiv β if externalIds.ArXiv present, https://arxiv.org/pdf/{arxiv_id}.pdf
4. PubMed Central OA β if PMCID present, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/{pmcid}/pdf/
5. bioRxiv / medRxiv β if DOI prefix is 10.1101, query https://api.biorxiv.org/details/{server}/{doi} for the latest version PDF URL
6. Publisher direct *(institutional mode only β PAPER_FETCH_INSTITUTIONAL=1)* β DOI-prefix β publisher PDF template (Nature / Science / Wiley / Springer / ACS / PNAS / NEJM / Sage / T&F / Elsevier). The caller's own subscription IP / cookies / EZproxy are what authorize the fetch; unauthorized responses fail the %PDF check and fall through to step 7.
7. Sci-Hub mirrors *(on by default; disable with PAPER_FETCH_NO_SCIHUB=1)* β last-resort fallback. Tries the mirror list in PAPER_FETCH_SCIHUB_MIRRORS (or built-in defaults sci-hub.ru, sci-hub.st, sci-hub.su, sci-hub.box, sci-hub.red, sci-hub.al, sci-hub.mk, sci-hub.ee) in order; on full miss, scrapes https://www.sci-hub.pub/ once per process for fresh mirrors. CAPTCHA / missing-paper pages have no PDF iframe and fall through silently.
8. Otherwise β report failure with title/authors so the user can request via ILL
If only a title is given, pass it directly via --title ""</code>. Resolution chain:</p><p style="margin:8px 0">1. <strong style="color:#e5e7eb">Crossref</strong> <code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">query.title</code> β primary; covers all major journal/conference DOIs
2. <strong style="color:#e5e7eb">Semantic Scholar <code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">/paper/search/match</code></strong> β fallback when Crossref's top match is low-confidence (<code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">match_score < 40</code>) or the gap to the runner-up is <code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">< 3</code>. Critically, S2 covers arXiv-only preprints (no Crossref DOI). When S2 surfaces a paper that has only an arXiv id, the canonical <code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">10.48550/arXiv.<id></code> is synthesized so the download chain stays uniform.
3. <strong style="color:#e5e7eb">Crossref's best guess (low-confidence)</strong> β used only when both resolvers struggled. The result envelope sets <code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">meta.title_resolution.low_confidence: true</code> plus a <code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">low_confidence_reason</code> (<code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">score_below_threshold</code> / <code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">ambiguous_runner_up</code>) so an agent can either bail or confirm via <code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">--dry-run</code>.</p><p style="margin:8px 0">Either way the resolved DOI, the winning resolver, the full <code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">resolvers_tried</code> list, and the top candidate matches are all surfaced under <code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">meta.title_resolution</code>.</p><p style="margin:8px 0"><strong style="color:#e5e7eb">If <code style="background:#0d0d1e;color:#a5f3fc;padding:1px 5px;border-radius:3px;font-size:.88em">asta-skill</code> is registered</strong>, the agent can alternatively resolve title β DOI through the Asta MCP first, then pass the DOI directly here. This skips paper-fetch's two-stage Crossref/S2 chain in favor of Asta's richer search surface (relevance ranking, snippet search, citation graph).
