paper-analyze

paper-analyze is a skill for Codex from Xiangyue-Zhang/auto-deep-researcher-24x7. It costs 18 tokens per session (302 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research assistant for deeply reviewing one arXiv paper, including its text, metadata, and original figures. arXiv is an online repository for scientific papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with an arXiv identifier or link to examine the problem, method, experiments, results, limitations, and extracted figures.
Why use it?
It gathers the paper and its figures in one analysis, making detailed technical review easier than reading separate downloads and image files.

About the project

Auto Deep Researcher 24x7 is an autonomous AI agent that runs and monitors deep learning experiments continuously. Researchers use it to automate experiment execution, including hyperparameter tuning and GPU or Slurm-based workloads. The catalogue add-ons provide agents, skills, and instructions for operating the experiment workflow.

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-analyze 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.

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

paper-analyze

Perform deep analysis of a single academic paper.

Usage

Claude Code: /paper-analyze <arxiv_id or url>
Codex: $paper-analyze

Behavior

  1. Fetch paper metadata from arXiv API
  2. Attempt to download arXiv source package (.tar.gz)
  3. Extract actual figures from source (not screenshots)
  4. Read the full paper (PDF if source unavailable)
  5. Generate structured analysis

Figure Extraction

Priority order:

  1. arXiv source package → extract .png/.jpg/.pdf figures
  2. PDF extraction as fallback
  3. Name files with arxiv_id prefix to avoid collisions

Output Format

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.
