What it does

Daily Papers is an agent skill from Xiangyue-Zhang/auto-deep-researcher-24x7. Daily arXiv paper recommendations with automatic deduplication

Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Data cleaning and Academic paper search. It works with arXiv. The repository describes itself as: 🔥 An autonomous AI agent that runs your deep learning experiments 24/7 while you sleep. Zero-cost monitoring, Leader-Worker architecture, constant-size memory. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Data cleaning
  • Tasks that involve Academic paper search

Example prompts

  • “/daily-papers”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ask the user for topics if not provided (or use defaults from config)
  2. Search arXiv for papers published in the last 1-3 days
  3. Check against previously recommended papers (dedup)
  4. Rank by relevance to the user's research
  5. For top 5: provide detailed analysis (motivation, method, key results, insights)
  6. For next 5: provide brief summaries
  7. Save recommendations to a dated markdown file

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dbf3df8. 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

Daily Papers loads about 309 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 108 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~309

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.

Daily arXiv paper recommendations with automatic deduplication

daily-papers

Search arXiv for the latest papers relevant to the user's research interests.

Invoke as /daily-papers in Claude Code or $daily-papers in Codex.

Behavior

  1. Ask the user for topics if not provided (or use defaults from config)
  2. Search arXiv for papers published in the last 1-3 days
  3. Check against previously recommended papers (dedup)
  4. Rank by relevance to the user's research
  5. For top 5: provide detailed analysis (motivation, method, key results, insights)
  6. For next 5: provide brief summaries
  7. Save recommendations to a dated markdown file

Deduplication

Maintain a list of previously recommended paper IDs. Never recommend the same paper twice.
