paper-fulltext-harvest

paper-fulltext-harvest is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jxtse/scientific-research-skills. It costs 276 tokens per session (3,643 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A batch downloader for retrieving the full text of academic papers from DOI lists. A DOI is a permanent identifier for a research publication; the tool uses publisher services, open-access copies, or a browser fallback where available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect PDF or XML full text for papers from supported DOI prefixes and publisher families.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual work involved in locating and downloading papers from different publishers and repositories.

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.

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

paper-fulltext-harvest 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/auto_paper_download/__init__.py, scripts/auto_paper_download/__main__.py, scripts/auto_paper_download/clients.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.

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.

Paper Full-text Harvest

Pipeline for downloading academic paper full-text at scale. Handles the three classes of sources that exist in 2026:

  1. Publisher TDM APIs (Elsevier / Wiley / Springer) — for paywalled content where the institution has a subscription
  2. OA aggregators (Unpaywall / OpenAlex / Crossref) — for Open Access copies regardless of publisher
  3. Browser fallback (logged-in user profile) — for paywalled publishers without a TDM API (ACS / RSC / IEEE / AIP / IOP / APS / T&F / many CN journals)

The publisher router (auto_paper_download/publishers.py) recognises 25 DOI prefixes across 19 families, each annotated with the right downstream path (TDM client / OA aggregator / browser fallback) and a support tier. The router is shared with the standalone auto-paper-harvester CLI — see SUPPORTED_PUBLISHERS.md there for the full per-publisher table.

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.
