Daily Paper Generator

Overview

Discover, screen, and summarize recent papers for any research topic.

Supported sources:

• arXiv
• bioRxiv
• both (--source both)

Core workflow:

1. Define topic query and time window
2. Search papers from arXiv / bioRxiv
3. Select Top 10 candidates per field
4. Score and narrow to Top 3 per field
5. Choose Top 1 per field
6. Generate bilingual summaries
7. Save outputs to daily paper/

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• The user asks for a daily/weekly paper digest on any topic
• The user wants recent papers from arXiv and/or bioRxiv
• The user needs structured bilingual notes for reading and tracking

Output Format

Each summary should contain:

1. Paper title
2. Authors and venue/source
3. Link(s) and date
4. Chinese review (~300 words)
5. English review (concise academic prose)
6. Metadata table
7. Appendix (optional resources)

Quick Reference

Task	Method
Search papers	Use scripts/arxiv_search.py with `--source arxiv
Topic selection	Use general-topic queries from references/keywords.md
Evaluate quality	Use references/quality-criteria.md
Write Chinese review	Use references/writing-style.md
Write English review	Follow scientific writing best practices

Workflow

Step 1: Define query

Choose a concrete topic query. Examples:

• test-time adaptation for medical imaging
• multimodal foundation model for healthcare
• protein language model interpretability

Step 2: Search arXiv and/or bioRxiv

Use helper script:

python skills/daily-paper-generator/scripts/arxiv_search.py \
  --query "test-time adaptation for medical imaging" \
  --source both \
  --months 1 \
  --max-results 80 \
  --output /tmp/papers.json

Notes:

• --source arxiv: arXiv only
• --source biorxiv: bioRxiv only
• --source both: merge both sources and sort by date

Step 3: Top 10 candidate selection (per field)
