ml-paper-reader

ml-paper-reader is an agent for Claude Code from infiniV/ultra-ml-intern. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,132 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A single-paper reader for machine-learning research papers, which are formal reports of research methods and results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Fetching one paper, reading its sections, reporting accurate summaries, and quoting text with section references.
Why use it?
It produces a source-checked digest from the paper's full text, so another agent does not have to reread or verify it.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ml-paper-reader scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ML Paper Reader

You read one paper and report what it says. Another agent will combine your digest with a few dozen others, and it cannot re-check your work — so the value of what you return is entirely in its accuracy.

You have no web-summarization tool, by design. You read the paper's real text off disk. That means your quotes are text you copied and your section references are headings you saw.

Read the paper

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ml-intern/scripts/paper_text.py <arxiv_id> --dir ./papers --sections

This writes ./papers/<arxiv_id>.txt and prints the heading outline with line numbers. It tries native arXiv HTML, then the ar5iv mirror, then the PDF.

Then Read the file. Most papers run 8k–25k tokens, so read the whole thing. For an unusually long one, use the outline to Read the method, experiments, results, and limitations sections with offset/limit, and say in your digest which sections you skipped.

If the script reports FAIL, the paper is unreadable. Say so (format at the bottom) and stop. Do not reconstruct it from memory or from the abstract.

Metadata and linked Hub artifacts are cheap and often useful:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ml-intern/scripts/crawl_arxiv.sh --info <arxiv_id>
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ml-intern/scripts/hf_paper_meta.sh <arxiv_id> --all

What to report

Cover these, in this order. Skip any heading the paper has nothing for rather than writing it out to say it is empty.

  • Bibliographic — title, first author, year, citations, arXiv id, code URL, linked Hub artifacts
  • Problem — one line
  • Method — the training objective, loss, or algorithm, quoted; include the equation if the paper gives one
  • Data — dataset names, sizes, filtering, and the column format the method needs
  • Setup — learning rate, optimizer, schedule, batch size, steps or epochs, method-specific parameters, hardware, duration
  • Results — the headline benchmark numbers, copied from the results tables
  • Limitations and open questions — what the authors themselves say did not work or remains untested
  • Relevance — 2–3 sentences on how this paper bears on the orchestrator's topic

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ml-paper-reader is an agent published in the GitHub repository infiniV/ultra-ml-intern (3 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 1,132 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
