Usage Guidance
This skill will make HTTP requests to arXiv and Semantic Scholar and will create/append to PAPERS.md and update MEMORY.md in your workspace root. If you install it: (1) expect the agent to write persistent paper entries to those files, so don't run it in a workspace containing sensitive or unrelated files; (2) Semantic Scholar has rate limits and may require an API key for heavy use — the skill doesn't request one, so you may need to provide it separately if you hit limits; (3) verify autogenerated BibTeX keys and threat-level judgments before relying on them; (4) if you prefer not to have persistent files auto-updated, do not enable autonomous invocation or run the skill only on demand.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: research-paper-kb Version: 1.0.0 The `research-paper-kb` skill is designed to create a persistent knowledge base for research papers. It makes legitimate network requests to academic APIs (arXiv, Semantic Scholar, DOI.org) to fetch paper metadata and abstracts. It performs file write operations to `PAPERS.md` and `MEMORY.md` within the workspace, which is consistent with its stated purpose of maintaining a cross-session knowledge base. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts designed to subvert the agent or harm the user. The skill explicitly states it 'Never modifies: SOUL.md, USER.md, AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, or any project files', reinforcing its benign intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (research paper KB) matches the instructions: fetch paper metadata, extract structured fields, generate BibTeX, and append to PAPERS.md / update MEMORY.md. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions only reference arXiv and the Semantic Scholar API and explicitly read/update PAPERS.md and MEMORY.md in the workspace root (which is expected for a persistent KB). Minor note: the skill suggests extracting information from 'any available full text' but does not specify additional sources or crawling behavior beyond arXiv/Semantic Scholar.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files — instruction-only skill. This is low-risk because nothing is written to disk beyond the files the skill itself instructs the agent to create (PAPERS.md, MEMORY.md).
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials (proportionate). Practical caveat: Semantic Scholar API usage can be rate-limited or require an API key for higher-volume access; the skill does not declare or request an API key (this is an operational omission rather than a secrecy concern).
Persistence & Privilege
The skill writes/updates PAPERS.md and MEMORY.md in the workspace root (its stated purpose). It is not always: true and does not claim elevated system-wide privileges or modify other skills' configs.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install research-paper-kb
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /research-paper-kb
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
- Initial release of research-paper-kb, a persistent cross-session knowledge base for research papers. - Ingests papers via arXiv/DOI/title, extracts structured data (method, gap, threat level, key results, overlap) and appends to PAPERS.md. - Generates clean BibTeX entries for each added paper. - Updates MEMORY.md to maintain a pointer and summary for the KB. - Supports query modes for showing tracked papers and summarizing individual entries. - Enables seamless paper context retention and structured literature management across sessions.
