What it does

Domain Adaptation Papers Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. Comprehensive collection of domain adaptation research papers

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Research & Science work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/domain-adaptation-papers-guide”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Literature survey: Map the DA research landscape
  2. Method selection: Choose appropriate DA technique for your task
  3. Benchmark comparison: Compare methods on standard datasets
  4. Research gaps: Identify under-explored DA settings
  5. Course material: Teach transfer learning and DA

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. 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 python and markdown).

    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

Domain Adaptation Papers Guide loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 252 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

Domain Adaptation Papers Guide

Overview

Domain adaptation addresses the problem of training models on one data distribution (source domain) and deploying them on a different distribution (target domain). This curated collection covers the full spectrum — from unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) and domain generalization to partial, open-set, and source-free adaptation. Organized by methodology and application area with regularly updated paper lists.

Taxonomy of Methods

Domain Adaptation
├── Unsupervised DA (UDA)
│   ├── Discrepancy-based (MMD, CORAL, CDD)
│   ├── Adversarial-based (DANN, ADDA, CDAN)
│   ├── Reconstruction-based (DRCN, DSN)
│   └── Self-training (SHOT, CBST)
├── Semi-supervised DA
├── Source-free DA (no source data at adaptation time)
├── Partial DA (target has subset of source classes)
├── Open-set DA (target has unknown classes)
├── Universal DA (no prior on label set relationship)
├── Multi-source DA
├── Domain Generalization (no target data at all)
└── Test-time Adaptation (adapt at inference)
