At a glance
Searches DBLP for papers from top conferences such as CVPR, ICLR and NeurIPS, adds Semantic Scholar data, scores them and writes a yearly Obsidian note.
- Works in 2 steps: 提取年份（可选，默认从配置读取） → 提取会议名（可选，默认从配置读取）
- Listing papers from a given conference and year that match your research keywords
- SKILL.md covers 工作流程概述, 配置说明, 步骤1：解析参数 and 步骤2：扫描已有笔记构建索引, plus 9 more sections
- Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python
What it does
The agent takes an optional year and list of conferences, for example 2025 with ICLR and CVPR, falling back to defaults in a conf-papers.yaml file that also holds your keywords. A Python script queries the DBLP API for every paper from those venues, filters titles by keyword matches to shrink the set, then asks Semantic Scholar for abstracts and citation counts only for what remains.
Papers are ranked by a weighted score of relevance, popularity based on citations and quality, with no recency factor because the year is chosen by the user. Results go to a filtered JSON file, and the agent writes a yearly recommendation note into the Obsidian vault, reusing the scan script from the related start-my-day skill to index notes you already have. ICCV and ECCV alternate years, so one of them may return nothing. The instructions themselves are written in Chinese.
When your agent uses it
- Listing papers from a given conference and year that match your research keywords
- Getting top-conference recommendations ranked by relevance and citations
- Building a yearly paper recommendation note inside an Obsidian vault
Example prompts
- “Recommend 2025 papers from ICLR and CVPR that match my keywords.”
- “Which ICML 2025 papers on large language models have the most citations?”
- “Make a top-conference paper list for NeurIPS 2025 and save it as a note in my vault.”
Requirements
- Python
- Network access to the DBLP and Semantic Scholar APIs
- An Obsidian vault path
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 提取年份（可选，默认从配置读取）
- 提取会议名（可选，默认从配置读取）
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ef3a594. 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
Conference Paper Recommender loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 468 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); 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 468 words (~2,544 tokens).
“You are the Conference Paper Recommender for OrbitOS.”
