/arxiv-viewer:figures

Extract all figures and their captions from an arXiv paper (ar5iv.org).

Usage

/arxiv-viewer:figures <arxiv_id> [--figure <n>]

Parameters

• `arxiv_id` (required): arXiv paper ID (e.g., `2301.07041`)
• `--figure` or `-f` (optional): Specific figure number to extract

Examples

/arxiv-viewer:figures 2301.07041           # All figures
/arxiv-viewer:figures 2301.07041 --figure 1  # Just Figure 1
/arxiv-viewer:figures 1706.03762           # Transformer paper figures

Workflow

Uses **Actionbook + agent-browser** to extract figures from ar5iv.org:

1. `search_actions("ar5iv figure")` → get action ID 2. `get_action_by_id(action_id)` → get figure selectors 3. `agent-browser open https://ar5iv.org/html/{arxiv_id}` 4. `agent-browser get text "figure.ltx_figure"` 5. Parse figures and captions

Selectors

| Element | Selector | |---------|----------| | All figures | `figure.ltx_figure` | | Figure by ID | `#S3.F1` (Section 3, Figure 1) | | Figure image | `figure.ltx_figure img` | | Figure caption | `figcaption.ltx_caption` |

Output Format

## Figures from: {Paper Title}

arXiv: {id}

### Figure 1
**Caption:** {caption text}
**Location:** Section {n}
**Image:** {image_url or description}

### Figure 2
**Caption:** {caption text}
**Location:** Section {n}
**Image:** {image_url or description}
