What it does
Sci Papers Downloder is an agent skill from wentorai/Research-Claw. Search academic papers (OpenAlex no-key by default, or Scopus with a built-in key) and download full-text PDFs concurrently — OA direct link → Unpaywall → Sci-Hub fallback (on by default). Quantity-aware and latest-aware.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/download_open_access.py`, `scripts/openalex_batch_download.py` and `scripts/search_openalex.py`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Academic paper search. The repository describes itself as: In the AI era, why can't everyone be a Principal Investigator?

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5015be7. 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 5 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3uvx
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
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
DEFAULT_ELSEVIER_API_KEYELSEVIER_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Sci Papers Downloder loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 755 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); 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 755 words (~1,945 tokens).
“End-to-end: topic/keywords/DOI in → validated PDF files out. One pipeline, two interchangeable search backends, a layered download strategy, and concurrency.”
