A local paper database for using Claude on research implementation
linXiv is a local research tool for saving and managing academic papers on a personal computer. It can fetch papers by arXiv ID or search, then store the information in SQLite.
The main workflow is to collect papers, read them, ask Claude to implement s or equations from those papers, and then check the result against the paper’s reported results. It is aimed at work in math, , computer science, and research, where papers often need to be turned into working code.
The tool includes more than an ; it also has a . Some parts are still rough, but the slower parts of the workflow can push the user to read more carefully instead of blindly automating .
