What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
paper-fetch
Use when user wants to search for academic papers by keywords or topic, or download specific papers from a DOI/URL list. Triggers when user says "find papers on X", "search for research about Y", "get these papers" with a DOI list, or when paper-research calls this sub-skill.
skills/paper-fetch/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
paper-research
Use when user wants to run the full academic paper research pipeline from finding papers through to structured Obsidian output. Use when user says "research papers on X", "help me collect literature on Y", "batch process these papers", or "set up my paper workflow".
skills/paper-research/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
paper-version
Use when user runs /version, asks "what version is this?", "am I on the latest version?", or "check for updates". Reports the currently installed version of paper-research-skill.
skills/paper-version/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
paper-wiki
Use when user wants to build or update a cumulative Karpathy-style wiki in Obsidian from academic papers. Produces deep, chapter-by-chapter paper breakdowns and detailed concept entries — not summaries. Use when user says "add to my wiki", "build wiki entries", "deep dive on this paper", "explain this paper Karpathy style", or when paper-research calls this sub-skill.
skills/paper-wiki/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
paper-zotero
Use when user wants to import academic papers into their Zotero library, whether from a list of PDFs, DOIs, or paper-fetch output. Also triggered when paper-research calls this sub-skill after fetching papers.
skills/paper-zotero/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
