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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00059 | $0.00687 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00344 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00137 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00069 |
Grade A, and why
paper-research 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 11d 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 — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Paper Research Pipeline
Overview
Orchestrates the full academic paper workflow: search/download → Zotero import → Obsidian output. Guides the user through each stage and calls the appropriate sub-skills. Each sub-skill can also be used standalone.
Required Setup
Install all dependencies before running:
MCP tools (configure in Claude Code MCP settings):
# paper-search-mcp
npx -y @smithery/cli install @openags/paper-search-mcp --client claude
# mcp-zotero (supports DOI import + Unpaywall open access)
# See: https://github.com/Xevos117/mcp-zotero
# mcp-obsidian
# See: https://github.com/MarkusPfundstein/mcp-obsidian

Sub-skills
| Sub-skill | Purpose | Standalone? |
|---|---|---|
paper-fetch |
Search + select + download papers | ✓ |
paper-zotero |
Import to Zotero library | ✓ |
paper-note |
Structured Obsidian note per paper | ✓ |
paper-moc |
Topic MOC index page | ✓ |
paper-wiki |
Karpathy cumulative wiki | ✓ |
paper-dataview |
YAML frontmatter for Dataview queries | ✓ |
Pipeline Flow
Stage 1 — Fetch
Call paper-fetch. Present candidate list. Wait for user selection.
Stage 2 — Import
Call paper-zotero with selected papers. Confirm import to Zotero.
Stage 3 — Obsidian Output Ask the user: "Which Obsidian output would you like? (choose one or more)"
- A) Single notes — one structured note per paper (
paper-note) - B) Topic index — MOC page aggregating papers (
paper-moc) - C) Wiki — Karpathy cumulative wiki entries (
paper-wiki) - D) Dataview metadata — YAML frontmatter for queries (
paper-dataview) - E) Skip Obsidian — Zotero only
paper-dataview runs automatically alongside A, B, or C unless user opts out.
Quick Mode
If user provides a DOI list directly, skip the search step and go straight to Stage 2.
Example Interactions
"Research the latest papers on RAG for code generation" → Keyword search → present list → user selects → import to Zotero → ask Obsidian preference
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-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository Geek96/paper-research-skill (21 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT.

hr-onboarding
A new-hire onboarding plan as a single page — first week schedule, buddy + manager intro, learning track, equipment checklist, and "you're set when…" outcomes. Use when the brief mentions "onboarding", "new hire", "first week plan", or "入职".
book-mirror
Take any book (EPUB/PDF), produce a personalized chapter-by-chapter analysis. Each chapter is preserved in detail (The Chapter) and mirrored back to the reader's actual life (The Mirror) using brain context. The mirror observes and resonates — a friend pointing out parallels, NOT a consultant rearranging the reader's…
