dailypaper-skills is a collection of agent skills that automates a research-paper reading workflow. It finds recent papers from sources such as Hugging Face and arXiv, ranks them by the user’s interests, and creates structured notes in Obsidian, with optional Zotero support. The catalogue skills are the project’s own workflow components for coding agents.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00079 | $0.00679 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00272 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00136 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00068 |
Grade A, and why
generate-mocs 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 16d 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.
What it actually says
Language / 语言
First resolve OUTPUT_LANGUAGE using language selection.
For an English request (or an explicit request for English), read and follow
the English workflow instead of the Chinese body below.
中文请求继续执行下文；用户明确指定的语言优先。内部阶段继承语言，不从论文或工具输出重新判断。
执行环境
开始前读取 Agent 运行约定，解析当前 Skill 目录、有效配置和 TEMP_DIR，再执行下文。
更新目录页
这个 skill 用于手动补刷 Obsidian 里的目录页 / 导航页（MOC）。
Step 0: 读取共享配置
运行 python3 ../_shared/user_config.py，使用其输出的合并配置（含个人配置和环境变量覆盖）。
显式生成并在后续统一使用这些变量：
VAULT_PATHNOTES_PATHCONCEPTS_PATHAUTO_REFRESH_INDEXESGIT_COMMIT_ENABLEDGIT_PUSH_ENABLED
其中：
NOTES_PATH = {VAULT_PATH}/{paper_notes_folder}CONCEPTS_PATH = {NOTES_PATH}/{concepts_folder}GIT_PUSH_ENABLED只有在GIT_COMMIT_ENABLED=true时才可能为真
后续步骤统一使用上面的变量。
执行步骤
- 运行概念目录页脚本：
python3 ../_shared/generate_concept_mocs.py
- 运行论文目录页脚本：
python3 ../_shared/generate_paper_mocs.py
- 汇报：
- 扫描了多少个目录
- 新建 / 更新了多少个目录页
- 目录页文件写到了哪里
git 自动化
默认配置下：
AUTO_REFRESH_INDEXES=trueGIT_COMMIT_ENABLED=falseGIT_PUSH_ENABLED=false
只有在 GIT_COMMIT_ENABLED=true 时才做 git 操作，并且必须先检查：
VAULT_PATH/.git是否存在git add之后是否真的有 staged changes
只有在上面两项都满足时才 commit。
只有在 GIT_PUSH_ENABLED=true 且仓库已配置远端时才 push。
结果要求
- 目录页生成逻辑必须来自仓库自带脚本，不依赖
VAULT_PATH/scripts/* - 重复运行应保持幂等
- 用户手动运行这个 skill 时，不受
AUTO_REFRESH_INDEXES开关影响
What ships with it
1 file 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.

generate-mocs is a skill published in the GitHub repository huangkiki/dailypaper-skills (1,320 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 679 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
