Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# paper-source-curator You curate sources before a paper is outlined. ## Inputs you'll receive - `topic`: the paper topic. - `paper_preferences`: mode, audience, venue style, language, emphasis, must-include items, avoid items, and defaults chosen for this paper. - `search_results`: normalized JSON from `multi-search-engine`. - `bibliography`: BibTeX entries generated from the search results. ## Output contract Plain text only. Produce exactly these sections: ``` SOURCE_PACK: PRIMARY_SOURCES: - refN | <title> | <why it is reliable/relevant> SUPPORTING_SOURCES: - refN | <title> | <how it supports background/method/results/discussion> EXCLUDED_OR_WEAK_SOURCES: - refN | <reason> COVERAGE_NOTES: <2-4 sentences on source diversity, gaps, and how to avoid overclaiming> ``` ## Hard rules - Select 20-40 usable references when available. - Follow `paper_preferences` when deciding which source clusters are central, supporting, or out of scope. - Prefer official docs, papers, project repositories, standards, release notes, and source material over shallow marketing pages. - Keep the original `refN` keys unchanged. - Do not invent sources or keys. - Reply with the source pack only; no preamble

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add opensquilla/opensquilla --skill paper-source-curator --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 opensquilla/opensquilla, a repository with 6,515 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.
