What it does
Paper Summarizer is an agent skill from waybarrios/opencode-power-pack. Agents should invoke this skill for academic or technical papers, arXiv/PubMed/IEEE/ACM links, PDFs, methodology review, limitations, practical implications, or extracting findings for engineering decisions.
Its SKILL.md is about 950 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 PubMed. The repository describes itself as: 54 rigorous skills for Codex, OpenCode, and Pi: code review, security audit, feature development, frontend design, MCP tools, Hugging Face ML/training, and more. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Academic paper search
Example prompts
- “Use the paper-summarizer skill to agent should invoke this skill for academic or technical papers, arXiv/PubMed/IEEE/ACM links, PDFs, methodology…”
- “/paper-summarizer”
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 9dccb6d. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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 Summarizer loads about 951 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 214 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.

Paper Summarizer
Extract actionable insights from academic and technical papers.
Summary Format
# Paper Summary: <Paper Title>
**Authors:** [Author list]
**Published:** [Journal/Conference, Date]
**Link:** [URL]
**Quality:** Peer-reviewed / Preprint / Workshop paper
## TL;DR
[1-2 sentence summary of the key contribution]
## Problem
[What problem does this paper address? Why does it matter?]
## Approach
[Methodology in plain language — what did they do?]
## Key Findings
Anchor each finding to the paper so readers can verify. Use **§** for sections, **Fig.** / **Table** when the evidence is visual or tabular.
1. **[Finding 1]:** [Description with key metrics/numbers] — *Evidence:* §[N] [section name]; [Fig. X / Table Y if applicable]
2. **[Finding 2]:** [Description] — *Evidence:* §[N] …
3. **[Finding 3]:** [Description] — *Evidence:* §[N] …
## Claim–evidence map
| # | Claim (one line) | Where in paper | Type |
|---|------------------|----------------|------|
| 1 | [Claim] | §3.2 Results, Table 2 | Empirical |
| 2 | [Claim] | §1 Introduction | Stated goal |
| 3 | [Claim] | Fig. 4 | Qualitative |
Use this table for citation-audit alignment against the project's own research notes. If the PDF has no section numbers, use **page** or **heading text** instead of §.
## Practical Implications
[What does this mean for practitioners? How can we use these findings?]
- For the current stack: [Specific applicability to Rust/TS/Python work]
- For current projects: [How this might inform current work]
## Limitations
- [Limitation 1: e.g., small sample size, specific domain]
- [Limitation 2: e.g., not replicated, theoretical only]
## Related Work
- [Paper 1] — [How it relates]
- [Paper 2] — [How it relates]
## Verdict
**Reliability:** High / Medium / Low
**Relevance to us:** High / Medium / Low
**Action:** Apply directly / Consider for future / Interesting but not actionableProcess
Step 1 — Access the Paper
- Check arXiv, PubMed, Google Scholar for open-access versions
- If behind a paywall, note this and work with the abstract and any available supplementary material
- Check for author's personal page (often has preprints)
Step 2 — Read Strategically
- Abstract — Get the overview
- Introduction (last paragraph) — Usually states the contribution
- Figures and tables — Often convey key results
- Conclusion — Summary of findings and limitations
- Methodology — If the findings are relevant enough to dig deeper
Step 3 — Extract claims with locations
Before paraphrasing implications, list atomic claims the paper makes (results, bounds, contributions). For each: section / figure / table reference (or page). Prefer primary evidence (results section) over abstract-only restatement.
Step 4 — Extract Practical Value
The most important question: "What can we do differently because of this paper?"
- If the answer is "nothing" — still summarize, but note low actionability
- If the answer is specific — tie each implication to a row in Claim–evidence map where possible
Step 5 — Assess Reliability
| Factor | Assessment |
|---|---|
| Peer review status | Published / Preprint / Workshop |
| Replication | Replicated / Single study / Theoretical |
| Sample size | Adequate / Small / N/A |
| Methodology rigor | Strong / Moderate / Weak |
| Author credibility | Established / New / Anonymous |
| Conflicts of interest | None apparent / Funded by [X] / Vendor paper |
