What it does

Paper Radar is an agent skill from tigerless-labs/paper-radar. Scrape AI papers published by 28 big tech companies and AI labs in a given date window, with institutional attribution (lead vs. participating vs. intern). Use when the user asks "what did big tech publish recently", "what AI research has <company put out", "run the paper radar", or wants to inventory recent arXiv output by company or topic. Also for fact-checking questions like "has <company published anything on <topic".

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/affiliation.py`, `scripts/data/ror_anchors.json` and `scripts/paper_radar.py`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search, Web scraping and Fact-checking and source verification. It works with arXiv. The repository describes itself as: Finds the AI papers 28 tech companies put on arXiv over any date range, and splits lead authorship from bylines. A SKILL.md agent skill — no ML, no state, stdlib only.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks what did big tech publish recently
  • What AI research has <company put out
  • Run the paper radar
  • Wants to inventory recent arXiv output by company

Example prompts

  • “what did big tech publish recently”
  • “what AI research has <company put out”
  • “run the paper radar”
  • “/paper-radar”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Wrong window — arXiv indexes 1–2 days late and does not announce on weekends; widen first
  2. Wrong categories — the default is cs.AI/cs.CL/cs.LG; robotics is cs.RO, vision cs.CV,
  3. Team-name search — all:"Xiaomi" / "Hunyuan" / "Kimi Team" work;
  4. Official channels — Apple RSS, Meta's ai.meta.com/results/?content_types[0]=publication
  5. Only when all of the above are empty may you say "this company published nothing in this window"

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 22e13f5. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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 Radar loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,191 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,191 words (~2,410 tokens).

“Stateless: one run = one window = one report. No paper library is maintained. arXiv is the only source of truth, and re-running the same window necessarily produces the same result — so there is no reason to keep a…”

How do I install Paper Radar in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add tigerless-labs/paper-radar --skill paper-radar -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/paper-radar in tigerless-labs/paper-radar) into .claude/skills/paper-radar in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Paper Radar in Codex?

Run `npx skills add tigerless-labs/paper-radar --skill paper-radar -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/paper-radar in tigerless-labs/paper-radar) into .agents/skills/paper-radar in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Paper Radar in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add tigerless-labs/paper-radar --skill paper-radar -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/paper-radar, .gemini/skills/paper-radar, .github/skills/paper-radar and .opencode/skills/paper-radar in your project.

What does Paper Radar need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Paper Radar needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Paper Radar access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Paper Radar safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Paper Radar use?

Paper Radar has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Paper Radar use?

About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Paper Radar?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Paper Radar: Argo Search and Verification (taxueseek/argo, 188 stars), Superlearn (raiyanyahya/Superlearn, 122 stars), Firecrawl Deep Research (firecrawl/skills, 117 stars) and Firecrawl Research Papers (firecrawl/skills, 117 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
