Searches and reads biomedical papers, FDA/PMDA/EMA documents, clinical trials, and protein records with the GXL Paperclip CLI and Python SDK. Supports source-scoped search, full-text grep, metadata SQL, map/reduce extraction, figure analysis, optional repositories and claim verification, and line-pinned citations. Use when a task names GXL paperclip, asks to install or authenticate it, or requests literature retrieval and evidence extraction through Paperclip.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'paperclip' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'paperclip' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named paperclip already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '2d2065fb4520fa3f3f2bcf61cff26ec8b7eba4b5' -- 'skills/paperclip' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/paperclip' ~/.agents/skills/'paperclip' && 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/'paperclip' ~/.claude/skills/'paperclip' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
