What it does
Daily Paper Generator is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use when the user asks to "generate daily paper", "search arXiv for EEG papers", "find EEG decoding papers", "review brain-computer interface papers", or wants to create paper summaries for EEG/brain decoding/speech decoding research. This skill automates searching arXiv for recent papers on EEG decoding, EEG speech decoding, or brain foundation models, reviewing paper quality, and generating structured Chinese/English summaries.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `example/daily paper example.md`, `references/keywords.md` and `references/quality-criteria.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search. It works with arXiv. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库，覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
arxiv.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Daily Paper Generator loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 865 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 865 words (~2,196 tokens).
“Automate the workflow of discovering, reviewing, and summarizing recent research papers on arXiv related to EEG decoding, brain-computer interfaces, and neural foundation models.”

What does Daily Paper Generator need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Daily Paper Generator needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Daily Paper Generator access the network?
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: arxiv.org; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Daily Paper Generator safe to install?
