# Paperzilla Use this skill when you want to chat with your agent about projects, recommendations, and canonical papers in Paperzilla. ## What you can ask - "Give me the latest recommendations from project X." - "Open recommendation Y and explain why it matters." - "Fetch canonical paper Z as markdown and summarize it." - "Tell me how this paper is relevant to my research." - "Show me the feed for project X." - "Leave feedback on a recommendation." - "Export this paper, recommendation, or feed as JSON." This is the core Paperzilla skill. It gives your agent direct access to Paperzilla data, but it does not impose a workflow or external delivery integration. ## Access method Most current profiles in this repo use the `pz` CLI. If the current profile ships extra agent-specific instructions, follow those as well. ## Install ### macOS ```bash brew install paperzilla-ai/tap/pz ``` ### Windows (Scoop) ```bash scoop bucket add paperzilla-ai https://github.com/paperzilla-ai/scoop-bucket scoop install pz ``` ### Linux Use the official Linux install guide: - https://docs.paperzilla.ai/guides/cli-getting-started ### Build from source (Go 1.23+) See the CLI repository for source builds: - http

About this skill
What does the paperzilla skill do?

Chat with your agent about projects, recommendations, and canonical papers in Paperzilla. Use when users ask for recent project recommendations, canonical paper details, markdown-based summaries, recommendation feedback, feed export, or Atom feed URLs.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills --skill paperzilla --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 K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, a repository with 32,619 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.
