What it does

Classify Paper List is an agent skill from YanjieZe/Paper-List. Classify papers newly added to Paper-List README.md into the repository's Markdown topic files. Use when the user asks to organize, sort, classify, or maintain new papers, says "整理新 papers", or asks whether the topic taxonomy needs a new topic or subsection.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/topic-policy.md` and `scripts/find_new_papers.py`).

It sits in Development, covering Technical documentation.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to organize
  • Maintain new papers
  • Says 整理新 papers
  • Asks whether the topic taxonomy needs a new topic

Example prompts

  • “整理新 papers”
  • “/classify-paper-list”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read .paper-list/classification-log.md and references/topic-policy.md completely.
  2. Run python3 .agents/skills/classify-paper-list/scripts/find_new_papers.py --repo . --pretty.
  3. If there are no candidates, report that the inbox is current and make no content edits.
  4. For every candidate, open the linked primary source and establish the actual research problem, method, embodiment, and paper identity…
  5. Check every existing topic filename and relevant headings before choosing a destination. A paper may enter at most two topics when the two…
  6. Apply the decision rules in references/topic-policy.md
  7. Copy the original README bullet verbatim into the chosen topic section unless a minimal formatting repair is necessary. Never remove…
  8. Avoid duplicate paper identities by checking arXiv ID, DOI, OpenReview ID, canonical URL, and normalized title across all topic files.
  9. Append one concise run entry to .paper-list/classification-log.md, including every classified, pending, or skipped candidate. Preserve the…
  10. Review the diff. Do not commit or push unless the user asks.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bc1deea. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Classify Paper List loads about 829 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 386 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~829
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 386 words (~829 tokens).

“Keep README.md as the chronological inbox and topics/*.md as curated views. Do not introduce a database, service, generated summary, or background automation.”
