implement-paper-auto

implement-paper-auto is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from marimo-team/skills. It costs 20 tokens per session (963 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of auto-paper-demo, Apache-2.0.

An automation skill that implements a research paper as a marimo notebook. Marimo is a Python notebook format that combines executable code, results, and explanations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a notebook that demonstrates a paper’s method or results from an arXiv paper, using the paper overview or extracted full text.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual work involved in finding the paper, understanding its method, and building a working notebook from it. It retrieves structured paper content from arXiv through AlphaXiv.

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

implement-paper-auto scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You need to come up with a compelling story to tell from a paper. Do not ask the user for feedback/input. You need to apply thinking and come up with the best story yourself.

Fetching Papers via AlphaXiv

Use alphaxiv.org to get structured, LLM-friendly paper content. This is faster and more reliable than trying to read a raw PDF.

Extract the paper ID

Parse the paper ID from whatever the user provides:

Input Paper ID
https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.12345 2401.12345
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.12345 2401.12345
https://alphaxiv.org/overview/2401.12345 2401.12345
2401.12345v2 2401.12345v2
2401.12345 2401.12345

Fetch the AI-generated overview (try this first)

curl -s "https://alphaxiv.org/overview/{PAPER_ID}.md"

Returns a structured, detailed analysis of the paper as plain markdown. One call, no JSON parsing.

Fetch the full paper text (fallback)

If the overview doesn't contain the specific detail you need (e.g., a particular equation, table, or proof):

curl -s "https://alphaxiv.org/abs/{PAPER_ID}.md"

Returns the full extracted text of the paper as markdown.

Error handling

  • 404 on the overview: Report hasn't been generated for this paper yet. Try the full text instead.
  • 404 on the full text: Text hasn't been processed yet. As a last resort, direct the user to the PDF at https://arxiv.org/pdf/{PAPER_ID}.
  • No authentication is required — these are public endpoints.

What is a good implementation?

A good implementation tells a story, that's the most important thing. The story should be simple, but it should not be missing.

Papers typically have more than one concept in them. So that means you need to pick a story! It isn't the goal to fully implement the paper or to rerun a giant benchmark. The goal is to take a lesson/idea and to explain that very clearly in a notebook that can simply run on a CPU. That way, a user can easily run learn something from it. When you look at the notebook, what is the main concept or idea that you think is worth exploring? What is the concept that tells a story?

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.

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.
