Reads projects, searches project feeds, and retrieves recommendations and canonical papers in Paperzilla through the pz CLI. Supports recent recommendations, paper details, markdown-based summaries, recommendation feedback, JSON export, and Atom feed URLs.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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

Use the official `pz` CLI. This skill targets **0.7.1**, checked against the
official release source and binary. Command examples use placeholder IDs; replace
them with records returned by your account. CLI behavior was tested against a
local mock server, not an authenticated Paperzilla account.

Start with `pz --version`, then list projects, select a project, browse or search
its feed, and inspect selected recommendations. Keep project recommendations

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/paperzilla@sha256:f1b5feb3c76ce064

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
