scientific-papers-to-dataset

scientific-papers-to-dataset is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from eamag/papers2dataset. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,246 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A tool for turning scientific papers into structured datasets. It can search OpenAlex, follow citation links between papers, and extract data from PDF documents; bioRxiv, for example, is a public website for sharing biology research papers before formal peer review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Collecting paper metadata, traversing citation networks, and extracting structured information from scientific literature.
Why use it?
Research information is often spread across papers, PDFs, and citation lists. This helps organize that material into data that can be searched or analyzed.

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 C, and why

scientific-papers-to-dataset scanned grade C with 2 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/bfs_queue.py, scripts/download_pdf.py, scripts/search_openalex.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Changes

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.
