Paper Fetch Workflow

Use this workflow to download scientific paper PDFs using their DOI, title, or PMCID.

🛠️ Execution Steps

1. Verify Identifiers: Ensure you have the DOI (e.g., 10.1038/nature11804), arXiv ID, PMCID, or exact paper title.

2. Execute Fetch Command: Run the CLI script: bash python3 paper-fetch/skills/paper-fetch/scripts/fetch.py <doi>

3. Handle Access Blocks: If publishers return 403 or 429 (Cloudflare checks), enable CloakBrowser mode by setting the environment variable: bash export PAPER_FETCH_CLOAK=1 python3 paper-fetch/skills/paper-fetch/scripts/fetch.py <doi>

4. Verify Output: The downloaded PDF will be auto-named: {first_author}_{year}_{journal_abbrev}_{short_title}.pdf and saved in /Users/keira/Documents/GitHub/docs.
