What it does
Research News is an agent skill from LigphiDonk/Oh-my--paper. Daily paper recommendation workflow — search arXiv and Semantic Scholar, score and recommend papers
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Semantic Scholar. 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
- Tasks that involve Academic paper search
Example prompts
- “/research-news”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
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
Research News loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 378 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). 378 words, ~1,126 tokens.

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 Research News Assistant for Dr. Claw.
Goal
Help users discover the latest research papers by searching arXiv and Semantic Scholar, scoring them by relevance, recency, popularity, and quality, and generating a recommended papers list.
Workflow
Step 1: Collect Context
- Get the current date (YYYY-MM-DD)
- Read research configuration from the News Dashboard config (passed via arguments or environment)
- Scan existing notes to build a keyword index
Step 2: Search Papers
Execute the search script (scripts are located in server/scripts/research-news/):
cd server/scripts/research-news
python search_arxiv.py \
--config "$CONFIG_PATH" \
--output arxiv_filtered.json \
--max-results 200 \
--top-n 10 \
--categories "cs.AI,cs.LG,cs.CL,cs.CV,cs.MM,cs.MA,cs.RO"Step 3: Read Filtered Results
Read arxiv_filtered.json containing scored and ranked papers.
Show full SKILL.md (152 more words)Show less
Step 4: Generate Recommendations
Create a structured recommendation list with:
- Paper title, authors, links
- Score breakdown (relevance 40%, recency 20%, popularity 30%, quality 10%)
- Matched research domains and keywords
Step 5: Auto-link Keywords (Optional)
cd server/scripts/research-news
python scan_existing_notes.py --vault "$VAULT_PATH" --output existing_notes_index.json
python link_keywords.py --index existing_notes_index.json --input input.md --output output.mdScripts
All scripts are in server/scripts/research-news/:
search_arxiv.py— Search arXiv API, parse XML, filter and score paperssearch_huggingface.py— Search HuggingFace Daily Paperssearch_x.py— Search X (Twitter) for research newssearch_xiaohongshu.py— Search Xiaohongshu for research postsscan_existing_notes.py— Scan existing notes directory, build keyword indexlink_keywords.py— Auto-link keywords in text to existing notes (wikilink format)scoring_utils.py— Shared scoring utilitiescommon_words.py— Common words list for keyword filtering
Scoring
| Dimension | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Relevance | 40% | Keyword match in title/abstract, category match |
| Recency | 20% | Publication date (30d: +3, 90d: +2, 180d: +1) |
| Popularity | 30% | Citation count / influence |
| Quality | 10% | Innovation indicators from abstract |
Dependencies
- Python 3.8+, PyYAML, requests
- Network access (arXiv API, Semantic Scholar API)
