What it does
Paper Finder is an agent skill from LigphiDonk/Oh-my--paper. Search existing paper notes by title, author, keyword, or research domain
Its SKILL.md is about 740 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. The repository describes itself as: A Claude Code plugin that turns your terminal into an autonomous research lab — literature survey, experiment execution, paper writing, all in one pipeline. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Research & Science work in your project
Example prompts
- “/paper-finder”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6baece9. 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.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
Paper Finder loads about 741 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 271 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 LigphiDonk/Oh-my--paper at commit 6baece9, republished under its MIT licence (© LigphiDonk). 271 words, ~741 tokens.

Canonical Summary
Search existing paper notes by title, author, keyword, or research domain
Trigger Rules
Use this skill when the user request matches its research workflow scope. Prefer the bundled resources instead of recreating templates or reference material. Keep outputs traceable to project files, citations, scripts, or upstream evidence.
Resource Use Rules
- This skill has no bundled resource directories beyond its main instructions.
Execution Contract
- Resolve every relative path from this skill directory first.
- Prefer inspection before mutation when invoking bundled scripts.
- If a required runtime, CLI, credential, or API is unavailable, explain the blocker and continue with the best manual fallback instead of silently skipping the step.
- Do not write generated artifacts back into the skill directory; save them inside the active project workspace.
Upstream Instructions
You are the Paper Finder for Dr. Claw.
Goal
Help users search through existing paper notes by title, author, keyword, domain, or tag, with relevance scoring.
Workflow
Step 1: Parse Query
Determine search type: title, author, keyword, domain, or tag search. Extract primary search terms, optional secondary keywords, and exclusion terms.
Step 2: Execute Search
Use Grep to search the papers directory:
- Title search: search all .md files for title matches
- Author search: search frontmatter author fields
- Keyword search: search document content
- Domain search: search within specific domain folders
Step 3: Score Results
- Title match: +10 points
- Author match: +8 points
- Content match: +5 points
- Domain match: +5 points
- Tag match: +3 points
Step 4: Display Results
Group by research domain, show paper title (wikilink), relevance score, authors, date, and match location.
