paper-fetch
Use whenever the user wants to obtain, download, or fetch a paper's PDF — given a DOI, an arXiv id, a paper title, a citation, or a list of DOIs. Trigger on phrases like "download this paper", "find the PDF for [DOI]", "grab me the [Nature/bioRxiv/arXiv] paper on X", "get the open-access version", "I need this article", or any bulk/batch paper download request, even when the user doesn't explicitly say "PDF" or "DOI". Resolves via Unpaywall → Semantic Scholar → arXiv → PubMed Central → bioRxiv/medRxiv → publisher direct (institutional opt-in) → Sci-Hub mirrors as last-resort fallback.
