At a glance

Find and thoroughly read a pathology foundation model paper from the papers/ directory.

  • Works in 3 steps: Find the Paper → Read the Paper Thoroughly → Check the GitHub Repository
  • Development work in your project
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Read Paper is an agent skill from georg-wolflein/pathology-foundation-models. Find and thoroughly read a pathology foundation model paper from the papers/ directory. Use as a prerequisite before adding model information or magnification to the README.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 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 Development. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: List of pathology feature extractors and foundation models.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/read-paper”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Find the Paper
  2. Read the Paper Thoroughly
  3. Check the GitHub Repository

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1acba67. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Read Paper loads about 752 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 375 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~752

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 375 words (~752 tokens).

“Find and thoroughly read a pathology foundation model paper PDF from the papers/ directory, and gather supplementary information from GitHub and other sources.”
