How do I install the Paper Analyzer skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add openlair/paper-analyzer in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Paper Analyzer safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: executes scripts, makes network calls. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Paper Analyzer?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Paper Analyzer free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

File contents

You are the Paper Analyzer for Dr. Claw.

Goal

Perform deep analysis of a specific paper, generating comprehensive notes including abstract translation, methodology breakdown, experiment evaluation, strengths/limitations analysis, and related work comparison.

Workflow

Step 1: Identify Paper

Accept input: arXiv ID (e.g., "2402.12345"), full ID ("arXiv:2402.12345"), paper title, or file path.

Step 2: Fetch Paper Content

curl -L "https://arxiv.org/pdf/[PAPER_ID]" -o /tmp/paper_analysis/[PAPER_ID].pdf
curl -L "https://arxiv.org/e-print/[PAPER_ID]" -o /tmp/paper_analysis/[PAPER_ID].tar.gz
curl -s "https://arxiv.org/abs/[PAPER_ID]" > /tmp/paper_analysis/arxiv_page.html

Step 3: Deep Analysis

Analyze: abstract, methodology, experiments, results, contributions, limitations, future work, related papers.

Step 4: Generate Note

python scripts/generate_note.py --paper-id "$PAPER_ID" --title "$TITLE" --authors "$AUTHORS" --domain "$DOMAIN"

Step 5: Update Knowledge Graph

python scripts/update_graph.py --paper-id "$PAPER_ID" --title "$TITLE" --domain "$DOMAIN" --score $SCORE

Scripts

scripts/generate_note.py — Generate structured note template
scripts/update_graph.py — Update paper relationship graph

Note Structure

The generated note includes: core info, abstract (EN/CN), research background, method overview with architecture figures, experiment results with tables, deep analysis, related paper comparison, tech roadmap positioning, future work, and comprehensive evaluation (0-10 scoring).

Dependencies

Python 3.8+, PyYAML, requests
Network access (arXiv)
