local-paper-navigatorFind and read papers from the local papers library (repo papers/, mounted at /papers/).
Local Paper Navigator is an agent skill from CamusGIT/EvoQuant. Find and read papers from the local papers library (repo papers/, mounted at /papers/). Three native tools form a reading funnel: papersearch (one line per paper), paperread (card + section outline), papersection (one verbatim section — the only full-text access). Use when: find papers in the local library, read a local report, compare viewpoints across papers, keyword search across extracted knowledge. Do NOT use for: online paper search (use paper-navigator), survey reports (use research-survey), idea…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 21 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/paper-summary-template.md`, `references/disambiguation.md` and `references/iterative-collection.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search and Brainstorming. The repository describes itself as: EvoQuant is a self-evolving AI research agent specialized in quantitative investment research. It runs the full research loop autonomously. The licence is Apache-2.0.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac1c4b8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
think_toolpaper_searchpaper_readpaper_sectionread_fileFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 10 files in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Local Paper Navigator loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 142 tokens; SKILL.md has 484 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.
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.

No scripts, no environment variables — the library is already mounted and the tools resolve it themselves.
paper_search L3 one line per paper — find candidates, pick paperIds
│
paper_read L2 full card + section outline — understand a paper (one call is enough)
│
paper_section L1 ONE verbatim section — the only escape hatch into full textWhole-paper reads are blocked by design (/papers/markdown/** and /papers/raw/** reject direct reads). A read rejection is the mechanism working, not a failure — descend a level instead.
paper_search(query, limit) — 1–3 queries, one concept each, dedupe by paperId.paper_read(paper_id) — for each candidate that matters. 8+ char paperId prefix works.paper_section(paper_id, heading|query) — only when you must quote the full text verbatim.Empty search → the tool says so honestly. Report "not in the library" rather than widening into fabrication; try one rephrased query (English ↔ Chinese — cards match Chinese titles) before concluding.
| Level | Tool | Payload | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| L3 Contextual | paper_search | one line/paper | scanning, building a shortlist |
| L2 Analytical | paper_read | card + outline, ≤8K | understanding a paper's method + findings |
| L1 Technical | paper_section | one section, ≤16K | reimplementing, verbatim quotation |
Defaults: L3 before L2 before L1. Escalate only when the current level cannot answer the question. Most questions end at L2.
A vs B), multi-property asks, and multi-year spans into separate calls.POINT (title quoted / paperId known / "read this"): paper_read once → answer. Paper Card format in references/output-formats.md. Stop — no expansion unless asked.
LIST (default — "find papers about X"): 2–3 paper_search calls from different angles → paper_read the top few → shortlist with evidence.
SURVEY ("survey of X", 30+ papers, called from research-ideation): escalate to Thorough Mode — references/thorough-mode.md (rubric, triage, saturation gate; still all native tools).
scripts/ still work and now default to the papers root (--papers-dir, or EVOSCIENTIST_PAPERS_DIR; --workspace-dir is deprecated). The native tools above replaced them for search/read — reach for a script only when it does something the tools don't:
| Need | Script |
|---|---|
| Cross-reference expansion | xref_search.py, similar_papers.py |
| Literature report scaffold | literature_report.py |
| Find code (online/local) | find_code.py, code_repo_search.py |
| Card-level search fallback | local_search.py, match_by_title.py, snippet_search.py |
| File | Read when |
|---|---|
references/thorough-mode.md | SURVEY / ITERATIVE — multi-round rubric search |
references/search-principles.md | Per-query rules, gap diagnosis |
references/disambiguation.md | Query is a project nickname / codename |
references/reading-strategy.md | L1 / L2 / L3 reading framework |
references/output-formats.md | Paper Card / Reading-Notes templates |
references/iterative-collection.md | 5-state machine for ITERATIVE branch |
| Goal | Skill |
|---|---|
| Survey report | research-survey |
| Idea generation | research-ideation |
| Baseline code audit | experiment-pipeline |
| Extract new PDFs | quant-paper-extractor |

Find and read papers from the local papers library (repo papers/, mounted at /papers/). Local Paper Navigator is an agent skill from CamusGIT/EvoQuant. Find and read papers from the local papers library (repo papers/, mounted at /papers/).
Local Paper Navigator fits situations like: : find papers in the local library; read a local report; compare viewpoints across papers; keyword search across extracted knowledge.
Run `npx skills add CamusGIT/EvoQuant --skill local-paper-navigator -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (EvoQuant/skills/local-paper-navigator in CamusGIT/EvoQuant) into .claude/skills/local-paper-navigator in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add CamusGIT/EvoQuant --skill local-paper-navigator -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (EvoQuant/skills/local-paper-navigator in CamusGIT/EvoQuant) into .agents/skills/local-paper-navigator in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add CamusGIT/EvoQuant --skill local-paper-navigator -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/local-paper-navigator, .gemini/skills/local-paper-navigator, .github/skills/local-paper-navigator and .opencode/skills/local-paper-navigator in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Local Paper Navigator needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: think_tool, paper_search, paper_read, paper_section, read_file.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Local Paper Navigator is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 5.7k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Local Paper Navigator: Nanoresearch Ideation (OpenRaiser/NanoResearch, 1.3k stars), Ideer Daily Paper (AI45Lab/iDeer, 416 stars), Paper Navigator (EvoScientist/EvoSkills, 475 stars) and Academic Research (voidful/academic-skills, 133 stars).
