Alternatives to alpha-research

alpha-research is an agent skill by Companion-Inc: Search, read, and query research papers via Feynman's alphaXiv-backed alpha tools. If it doesn't fit your setup, these 12 agent skills cover similar ground. They are ordered by how closely they match alpha-research and by our rank, which weighs adoption, freshness and documentation; money never changes the order. firecrawl-research-index leads the list (published by the vendor). 3 of them are published by the company behind the product. Each entry shows data reasons to switch, and you can open a side-by-side comparison with alpha-research.
