What it does

Gaussian Splatting Papers Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. Curated papers and resources for 3D Gaussian Splatting

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Literature review. 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

  • Tasks that involve Literature review

Example prompts

  • “/gaussian-splatting-papers-guide”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. "A Survey on 3D Gaussian Splatting" (Chen et al., 2024) — comprehensive taxonomy
  2. "3DGS: Recent Developments and Applications" (Wu et al., 2024) — application-focused
  3. "Gaussian Splatting: A Survey" (Fei et al., 2024) — technical deep dive

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • pip
    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    Also links to:

    • repo-sam.inria.fr
    • 3dgaussians.github.io

    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

Gaussian Splatting Papers Guide loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 225 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

3D Gaussian Splatting Papers Guide

Overview

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) is a breakthrough technique for real-time radiance field rendering that represents scenes as collections of 3D Gaussians. This curated collection tracks the rapidly evolving 3DGS literature — from the original paper through extensions for dynamic scenes, generation, compression, SLAM, avatars, and more. Essential for researchers in computer vision, graphics, and neural rendering.

Key Idea
Input: Multi-view images + SfM point cloud
  ↓
Initialize 3D Gaussians (position, covariance, color, opacity)
  ↓
Differentiable splatting (project Gaussians → image plane)
  ↓
Optimize via photometric loss
  ↓
Adaptive density control (clone, split, prune)
  ↓
Output: Real-time renderable 3D scene (100+ FPS)
