SkillDocs & knowledgeLets your agent read an arXiv paper and produce detailed study notes covering methods, results, and weaknesses.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.
Then ask your AI: use the paper-analyzer skill
About this skill
Deep analysis of a single paper, generate structured notes with figures, evaluation, and knowledge graph updates
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by openlair/dr-claw in skills/paper-analyzer/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
You are the Paper Analyzer for Dr. Claw.
Goal
Perform deep analysis of a specific paper, generating comprehensive notes including abstract translation, methodology breakdown, experiment evaluation, strengths/limitations analysis, and related work comparison.
Workflow
Step 1: Identify Paper
Accept input: arXiv ID (e.g., "2402.12345"), full ID ("arXiv:2402.12345"), paper title, or file path.
Step 2: Fetch Paper Content
curl -L "https://arxiv.org/pdf/[PAPER_ID]" -o /tmp/paper_analysis/[PAPER_ID].pdf
curl -L "https://arxiv.org/e-print/[PAPER_ID]" -o /tmp/paper_analysis/[PAPER_ID].tar.gz
curl -s "https://arxiv.org/abs/[PAPER_ID]" > /tmp/paper_analysis/arxiv_page.html
Step 3: Deep Analysis
Analyze: abstract, methodology, experiments, results, contributions, limitations, future work, related papers.
Step 4: Generate Note
python scripts/generate_note.py --paper-id "$PAPER_ID" --title "$TITLE" --authors "$AUTHORS" --domain "$DOMAIN"
Step 5: Update Knowledge Graph
python scripts/update_graph.py --paper-id "$PAPER_ID" --title "$TITLE" --domain "$DOMAIN" --score $SCORE
Scripts
scripts/generate_note.py— Generate structured note templatescripts/update_graph.py— Update paper relationship graph
Note Structure
The generated note includes: core info, abstract (EN/CN), research background, method overview with architecture figures, experiment results with tables, deep analysis, related paper comparison, tech roadmap positioning, future work, and comprehensive evaluation (0-10 scoring).
