Can I filter papers by publication date?

Yes, you can use ISO 8601 date strings to filter by published date or crawl date, allowing you to find the most recent research or papers from a specific era.

Why does this skill use a separate Task agent?

Using a Task agent isolates the search and deduplication process, preventing large amounts of raw search data from cluttering your main conversation context and consuming unnecessary tokens.

Which academic sources does this skill search?

It searches a wide range of academic domains, including arXiv.org, OpenReview.net, PubMed, and other major scientific repositories via Exa's specialized research category.

Does it support complex text filtering?

Yes, it supports including and excluding specific text, though these filters are currently limited to single-item arrays to ensure API stability.
