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

TaskMethod
Search papersUse scripts/arxiv_search.py with `--source arxiv
Topic selectionUse general-topic queries from references/keywords.md
Evaluate qualityUse references/quality-criteria.md
Write Chinese reviewUse references/writing-style.md
Write English reviewFollow 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)

For each candidate paper: 1. Check topic relevance from title + abstract 2. Remove obviously off-topic papers 3. Keep Top 10 candidates for this field

Minimum rule:

  • Do not jump directly from raw search results to final paper.
  • Keep an explicit Top 10 list first.

Step 4: Top 3 quality shortlist (per field)

For the Top 10 pool: 1. Score each paper with references/quality-criteria.md 2. Rank by weighted score 3. Keep Top 3

Step 5: Final Top 1 selection (per field)

For the Top 3 shortlist: 1. Compare novelty + method completeness + experimental credibility 2. Check practical impact for the field 3. Select Top 1 as the final pick

Required output trace:

  • Top 10 candidate list
  • Top 3 scored shortlist (with weighted scores)
  • Final Top 1 and one-paragraph selection rationale

Step 6: Generate bilingual summaries

For each selected paper, generate:

  • 中文评语:背景、挑战、贡献、方法、结果、局限
  • English Review: concise, factual, non-formulaic

Step 7: Save output

Recommended directory and naming:

daily paper/
  YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-paper-1.md
  YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-paper-2.md
  YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-paper-3.md

Additional Resources

  • references/keywords.md: general-topic query templates
  • references/quality-criteria.md: scoring rubric
  • references/writing-style.md: review writing style
  • example/daily paper example.md: output example
  • scripts/arxiv_search.py: arXiv + bioRxiv search helper

Important Notes

1. Use explicit topic queries, avoid single-word vague queries. 2. Keep the time window explicit (--months N). 3. Distinguish source in metadata (arxiv vs biorxiv). 4. Use the fixed narrowing rule: Top 10 -> Top 3 -> Top 1 (per field). 5. If a paper lacks robust evaluation, mark confidence and limitations clearly. 6. Do not fabricate unavailable fields (institution/GitHub/code links).
