What it does
Paper Analyze is an agent skill from Xiangyue-Zhang/auto-deep-researcher-24x7. Deep analysis of a single paper with figure extraction from arXiv source
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 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 Academic paper search
Example prompts
- “/paper-analyze”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Fetch paper metadata from arXiv API
- Attempt to download arXiv source package (.tar.gz)
- Extract actual figures from source (not screenshots)
- Read the full paper (PDF if source unavailable)
- Generate structured analysis
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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
claude
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 Analyze loads about 306 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 74 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.
