Generate a self-contained, beautifully styled HTML analysis of an academic paper.

  • Works in 7 steps: 问题 (Problem) → 翻译 (Translation / Analogy) → 架构 (Architecture / Method) → …
  • The user provides an arXiv link
  • SKILL.md covers Output Structure, Math Rendering, HTML Template and Figure Handling, plus 2 more sections
  • Reaches cdn.jsdelivr.net

What it does

Paper To HTML is an agent skill from ysyecust/lecture-to-notes. Generate a self-contained, beautifully styled HTML analysis of an academic paper. Use when the user provides an arXiv link, paper URL, PDF, or asks to analyze a research paper. Produces a standalone HTML file with structured sections (Problem, Translation/Analogy, Architecture, Key Results, Verdict), embedded figures, and responsive design. Trigger words include 读论文, 分析论文, paper analysis, paper review.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering HTML artifacts, Academic paper search and Translation. It works with arXiv. The repository describes itself as: Turn YouTube/Bilibili lectures into smart-cropped LaTeX/PDF notes. Claude Code & Codex skill.

When your agent uses it

  • The user provides an arXiv link
  • Asks to analyze a research paper
  • Words include 读论文

Example prompts

  • “/paper-to-html”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 问题 (Problem)
  2. 翻译 (Translation / Analogy)
  3. 架构 (Architecture / Method)
  4. 关键结果 (Key Results)
  5. 评价 (Verdict)
  6. 博导审稿 (PhD Supervisor Review)
  7. 一句话总结 (One-line Summary)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ef4e6f. 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 html and css).

    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:

    • cdn.jsdelivr.net

    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 To HTML loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 518 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 518 words (~1,299 tokens).

“Generate a self-contained HTML analysis of an academic paper. The output is a single .html file with embedded CSS — no external dependencies, ready to deploy or share.”
