What it does

Paper Expert Generator is an agent skill from guhaohao0991/PaperClaw. Generate a specialized domain-expert research agent modeled on PaperClaw architecture. Use this skill when a user wants to create an AI agent that can automatically search, filter, summarize, and evaluate academic papers in a specific research field. Trigger phrases include help me create a paper tracking agent for my field, I want an agent to monitor latest papers in bioinformatics, build me a paper review agent for computer vision, create a PaperClaw-style agent for my domain, generate a domain-specific paper…

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/templates/models.json`, `assets/templates/schedules.json` and `references/agent-template-guide.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search, Peer review and Computer vision. It works with arXiv and Semantic Scholar. The repository describes itself as: an OpenClaw skill that can generate paper search-review-critque expert-agent relevant to specific topics (we use Scientific ML and 3D geometry surrogate modeling as a demo).

When your agent uses it

  • A user wants to create an AI agent that can automatically search
  • Evaluate academic papers in a specific research field
  • Phrases include help me create a paper tracking agent for my field
  • I want an agent to monitor latest papers in bioinformatics

Example prompts

  • “/paper-expert-generator”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Domain Interview
  2. Build Keyword Library
  3. Design Evaluation Rubric
  4. Generate Agent Files
  5. Write AGENT.md
  6. Adapt Skill SKILL.md Files
  7. Configure models.json and schedules.json
  8. Validate and Deliver

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 39e8194. 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.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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 Expert Generator loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 185 tokens; SKILL.md has 599 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~185
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.9k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 599 words (~2,014 tokens).

“Generate a complete, ready-to-use domain-specific paper expert agent by adapting the PaperClaw architecture for any research field.”
