/arxiv-viewer:outline

Get the table of contents (outline) of an arXiv paper from ar5iv.org.

Usage

/arxiv-viewer:outline <arxiv_id>

Parameters

  • `arxiv_id` (required): arXiv paper ID (e.g., `2301.07041`)

Examples

/arxiv-viewer:outline 2301.07041
/arxiv-viewer:outline 1706.03762    # Attention Is All You Need

Workflow

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

1. `search_actions("ar5iv outline")` → get action ID 2. `get_action_by_id(action_id)` → get heading selectors 3. `agent-browser open https://ar5iv.org/html/{arxiv_id}` 4. `agent-browser get text "h2.ltx_title, h3.ltx_title"` 5. Parse and return outline

*Use `/arxiv-viewer:read {id} #S3` to read a specific section*

Notes

  • Section IDs (like `#S3`) can be used with `/arxiv-viewer:read`
  • Subsections are indicated by `#S2.SS1` format
  • Appendices typically start with `#A1`, `#A2`, etc.
