What it does
Paper Summarizer is an agent skill from ymx10086/ResearchClaw. Summarize a paper at brief, standard, or detailed depth. Use when the user wants a fast summary of a PDF, URL, or arXiv paper.
Its SKILL.md is about 160 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `__init__.py`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search. It works with arXiv. The repository describes itself as: ResearchClaw is a personal AI assistant built for research: fast to set up, easy to run locally or in the cloud, and ready to integrate with the chat apps you already use. With…
When your agent uses it
- The user wants a fast summary of a PDF
- Tasks that involve Academic paper search
Example prompts
- “/paper-summarizer”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1baaa92. 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 script files (Python), which the agent can run.
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 Summarizer loads about 158 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 57 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 57 words (~158 tokens).
“Use this skill when the user wants a concise or structured summary of a research paper.”
