Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00096 | $0.01115 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00558 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00223 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00112 |
Grade A, and why
paper-workspace 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 4d 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.
Paper Workspace
使用 paper-agent workspace 管理项目论文集合,并使用本地 rg 深读正文。服务器 Collection
是长期候选池,workspace 是当前项目的活跃工作集,两者不要混用。
前置检查
paper-agent config init
paper-agent auth status
paper-agent doctor
若 doctor 输出中的 update 检查显示 update_available(或运行 paper-agent update check
确认),告知用户有新版本;经用户确认后执行 uv tool install paper-agent-skills --upgrade,
再运行 paper-agent skills update --platform all 刷新已安装 Skill,然后重跑用户原本的命令。
认证缺失时,请用户直接把 API Key 发过来,然后运行 paper-agent auth set --stdin 代为配置;
用户也可以自己在终端运行 paper-agent auth set 隐藏输入。提醒用户:该 Key 权限很高,可访问
和修改其整个论文库,不要泄露给他人。配置完成后无需复述 Key。
始终向 workspace 命令传入明确的项目根路径,不根据 Skill 安装目录或不确定的 cwd 猜测。
建立工作区
paper-agent workspace init /absolute/project/root
paper-agent workspace status /absolute/project/root
init 只创建 <project>/papers/manifest.json,不会下载整个远程论文库。
发现并加入论文
先通过 paper-library 工作流在服务器 L1/L2 中缩小候选范围,再加入用户确认的论文:
paper-agent library search "instrumental variables" --limit 10
paper-agent library show P-3a
paper-agent workspace add /absolute/project/root P-3a P-8f
add 自动把 text profile 同步到用户级 Global Artifact Store,再复制
metadata.json、full.md、layout.json 和 attribute_tree.json(存在时)到项目。
其中 metadata.json 是服务端抽取的学术元数据(含 citations.apa、citations.bibtex、
citations.csl_json 三种引文格式),
论文记录与处理状态用 library show 实时查询。目录按 metadata 生成为
年份-作者-短标题--P-xxx,例如 2024-Smith-et-al-Inflation-Dynamics--P-3a。目录名只用于
浏览,论文身份以 manifest 的 canonical ID 为准。不要把远程库全部加入单个项目。
本地深读
先限制命中文件和数量,再读取上下文,避免把所有全文塞入 context:
rg -l "difference-in-differences" /absolute/project/root/papers/*/full.md
rg -n -C 5 "parallel trends" /absolute/project/root/papers/*/full.md
引用证据时记录论文 short ID、文件路径和行号。需要页码或版式时再读取同目录
layout.json。本地全文没有命中时再调整术语或正则,不要自动回退到服务端 L3。
状态和同步
paper-agent workspace list /absolute/project/root
paper-agent workspace status /absolute/project/root
paper-agent workspace sync /absolute/project/root
paper-agent workspace sync /absolute/project/root P-3a
status 是纯本地检查,不要求认证。sync 查询最新 remote revision;managed file 被本地
修改或缺失时返回 CONFLICT,不得自动覆盖。notes.md、reading.md 等 manifest 未声明
文件属于用户,更新时必须保留。
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

paper-workspace is a skill published in the GitHub repository frowang-ai/paper-agent-skills (3 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 1,115 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.
