paper-finder
Discover recent arXiv papers matching a research profile and generate Obsidian-compatible Markdown notes. Use this skill when the user wants to find new papers, refresh their literature inbox, or search arXiv based on their interests.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill paper-finder --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Paper Finder Use this skill when you want to discover recent arXiv papers for a specific research profile and write the results as Obsidian-compatible Markdown notes. ## Run Retrieval Run the CLI from the repository root: ```bash python skills/paper-finder/find_papers.py \ --profile path/to/research-interest.json \ --output path/to/obsidian/inbox ``` Optional semantic ranking: ```bash python skills/paper-finder/find_papers.py \ --profile path/to/research-interest.json \ --output path/to/obsidian/inbox \ --semantic ``` Semantic settings can come from either source: - `config/api_keys.json` with `semantic_model.api_base_url`, `semantic_model.api_key`, `semantic_model.model` - Environment variables: - `STABLE_JARVIS_SEMANTIC_API_BASE_URL` - `STABLE_JARVIS_SEMANTIC_API_KEY` - `STABLE_JARVIS_SEMANTIC_MODEL` You can still pass `--semantic-config path/to/semantic-config.json` for advanced overrides. The JSON file should match `stable_jarvis.paper_finder.semantic.SemanticConfig`. ## Build or Refresh a Profile If the user does not already have a profile JSON, use Zotero MCP read tools to collect evidence first: 1. `zotero_list_collections` 2. `zotero_profile_evidence` Then write a JSON pr

What does the paper-finder skill do?
Discover recent arXiv papers matching a research profile and generate Obsidian-compatible Markdown notes. Use this skill when the user wants to find new papers, refresh their literature inbox, or search arXiv based on their interests.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill paper-finder --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
