daily-paper-generator

55 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a research skill usually looks things up on the internet.

By Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar (GitHub) · research · 6,038 stars · scanned at commit d394fb5

Use when the user asks to generate daily paper digests on a general topic. This skill supports both arXiv and bioRxiv (or either one), then produces structured Chinese/English summaries for selected papers.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'daily-paper-generator' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'daily-paper-generator' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named daily-paper-generator already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd394fb599ed9e6ea2212a9e6daa864345fe97a26' -- 'skills/daily-paper-generator' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/daily-paper-generator' ~/.agents/skills/'daily-paper-generator' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'daily-paper-generator' ~/.claude/skills/'daily-paper-generator' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
