What it does
Paper Search Usage is an agent skill from fcakyon/claude-codex-settings. This skill should be used when user asks to "search for papers", "find research papers", "search arXiv", "search PubMed", "find academic papers", "search IEEE", "search Scopus", or "look up scientific literature".
Its SKILL.md is about 200 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. It works with arXiv and PubMed. The repository describes itself as: Battle-tested Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor configs, plugins, hooks and agents with Kimi, MiniMax and GLM API support. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Asks to search for papers
- Find research papers
- Find academic papers
- Look up scientific literature
Example prompts
- “search for papers”
- “find research papers”
- “search arXiv”
- “/paper-search-usage”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7a519d8. 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
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Paper Search Usage loads about 203 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 62 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
The full file from fcakyon/claude-codex-settings at commit 7a519d8, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© fcakyon). 62 words, ~203 tokens.
