Neuroarxiv
Grounds a coding agent's architecture decisions in real arXiv prior art before it builds something new. Reads arXiv category-wise via real HTTP fetch, spawns parallel isolated reads across the papers found, scores/clusters them, then converges on ONE recommended path with citations, a first step, and known prior-art pitfalls to avoid. Use on /neuroarxiv, before designing non-trivial architecture, algorithms, ML/systems techniques, or protocols, or when the user asks "has anyone solved this", "what's the state of the art", or "am I about to rebuild something that already exists". Skip for trivial CRUD, glue code, or closed phrasing ("just", "quick", "standard"). Full pre-flight gate is in the skill body.

From the source SKILL.md
Vibecoders don't waste hours because they lack skill. They waste hours because they start building before checking whether the hard part has already been solved and published, with the failure modes already known. arXiv is the world's largest source of truth for "has anyone done this" — and almost nobody about to write code actually reads it first. This skill makes the agent read it first.
What this skill does
Neuroarxiv is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/neuroarxiv/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Neuroarxiv Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 183,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
How to install
Free
Manual install (2 steps)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/neuroarxiv
curl -L https://claudskills.com/skills/neuroarxiv/SKILL.md \
-o ~/.claude/skills/neuroarxiv/SKILL.md
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/neuroarxiv/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.
Skills live at ~/.claude/skills/neuroarxiv/SKILL.md on macOS/Linux, or %USERPROFILE%\.claude\skills\neuroarxiv\SKILL.md on Windows. See the full install guide for step-by-step instructions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Neuroarxiv Claude Code skill?

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Neuroarxiv skill?
Use Neuroarxiv when your Claude Code task falls under the Science & Research category — specifically in the research methods area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Neuroarxiv" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/science/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Neuroarxiv skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Neuroarxiv is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category. Learn more at
/learn/what-is-a-claude-skill/.
