What it does

Watch is an agent skill from EmertonData/glide. Monitor arXiv for new papers relevant to the GLIDE project (prediction-powered inference, active statistical inference, LLM evaluation debiasing, proxy annotation bias correction). Use whenever the user says "watch arXiv", "check for new PPI papers", "any new papers this week", "run the arXiv monitor", "what's new on arXiv", or invokes /watch with an optional time window like "3 days" or "1 week". Also triggers on "arXiv scan", "literature watch", "new papers on prediction-powered inference".

Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search and LLM evaluation. It works with arXiv. The repository describes itself as: Helping humans ride the GenAI evaluation wave.

When your agent uses it

The user says watch arXiv
Check for new PPI papers
Any new papers this week
Run the arXiv monitor

Example prompts

“watch arXiv”
“check for new PPI papers”
“any new papers this week”
“/watch”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 21a9553. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
- scholar.google.com
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

Watch loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 126 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,702 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~126
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~3.5k

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); files beside SKILL.md 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 1,702 words (~3,510 tokens).

“Monitor arXiv's statistics section for papers relevant to GLIDE's research areas over a user-specified time window.”

Questions about Watch

What does Watch do?

Monitor arXiv for new papers relevant to the GLIDE project (prediction-powered inference, active statistical inference, LLM evaluation debiasing, proxy annotation bias correction). Watch is an agent skill from EmertonData/glide. Monitor arXiv for new papers relevant to the GLIDE project (prediction-powered inference, active statistical inference, LLM evaluation debiasing, proxy annotation bias correction).

When should I use Watch?

Watch fits situations like: the user says watch arXiv; check for new PPI papers; any new papers this week; run the arXiv monitor.

How do I install Watch in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add EmertonData/glide --skill watch -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/watch in EmertonData/glide) into .claude/skills/watch in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Watch in Codex?

Run `npx skills add EmertonData/glide --skill watch -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/watch in EmertonData/glide) into .agents/skills/watch in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Watch in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add EmertonData/glide --skill watch -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/watch, .gemini/skills/watch, .github/skills/watch and .opencode/skills/watch in your project.

What does Watch need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Watch is instructions for the agent only.

Does Watch access the network?

SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: arxiv.org and scholar.google.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Watch safe to install?

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. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Watch use?

Watch has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Watch use?

About 3.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 14k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Watch?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Watch: Analyze Id Eval Ranking (open-thoughts/OpenThoughts-Agent, 301 stars), Read arXiv Paper (karpathy/nanochat, 59k stars), Literature Review (neflibata-feng/MyArxiv-Agent, 126 stars) and Openalex Database (neflibata-feng/MyArxiv-Agent, 126 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Watch?

EmertonData (a GitHub organization) maintains it in EmertonData/glide, which has 119 GitHub stars. The repository holds 7 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 8, 2026.
