# arXiv Search and Retrieval

## Prerequisites

1.  **`uv`**: Read the `uv` skill and follow its Setup instructions to ensure
    `uv` is installed and on PATH.
2.  **User Notification**: If .licenses/literature_search_arxiv_LICENSE.txt does
    not already exist in the workspace root directory then (1) prominently
    notify the user to check the terms at
    https://info.arxiv.org/help/api/index.html and to always check the license
    of the papers retrieved by the skill for any restrictions, then (2) create
    the file recording the notification text and timestamp.
