paperclip SKILL.md skillA

paperclip from k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/paperclip@v1.5

Pins v1.5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Searches and reads biomedical papers, FDA/PMDA/EMA documents, clinical trials, and protein records with the GXL Paperclip CLI and Python SDK. Supports source-scoped search, full-text grep, metadata SQL, map/reduce extraction, figure analysis, optional repositories and claim verification, and line-pinned citations. Use when a task names GXL paperclip, asks to install or authenticate it, or requests literature retrieval and evidence extraction through Paperclip.

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

# Paperclip CLI

Paperclip by GXL exposes scientific documents through a virtual filesystem and server-side search
and readers. This is **GXL Paperclip** at `paperclip.gxl.ai`, not the unrelated Paperclip agent-company
application. Use the source requested by the user; other providers have their own skills.

This revision checks official docs, the public API schema, and installed CLI/SDK **0.7.92**.
Local help, SDK request construction, and public metadata were checked. Authenticated retrieval,
LLM readers, uploads, and repository mutations were not run during this review; their examples
are illustrative. Server behavior can change independently of the CLI version.

## Preflight and authentication

```bash
command -v paperclip
paperclip --version
paperclip --help
```

If installed, use the existing account or a key configured privately at
`https://paperclip.gxl.ai/keys`. Do not ask for a key in chat or print credential files.
Paperclip does not automatically load a project `.env`. If the user has supplied a **trusted,
shell-compatible** `.env`, export it in the same shell invocation as the command:

```bash
if [ -f .env ]; then
  set -a
  . ./.env
  set +a
fi

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/paperclip@sha256:4f6fc05346aefdf5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5, 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.
