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

# paperconan

paperconan scans paper source-data tables and can register local image assets
for external Agent review. Treat every hit as **signal, not verdict**: report
locations and patterns, never intent or personal accusation. PaperConan does
not manage model keys or provider SDKs and does not perform autonomous semantic
judgment.

Tool repository: https://github.com/zixixr/paperconan

## Core Workflow

0. Ensure the CLI is available before scanning: run `paperconan --version`. If it is missing and pip works, install once with `pip install "paperconan[all]"` (ask first if a virtualenv or non-global install is preferred; if pip refuses with a PEP 668 `externally-managed-environment` error, use `uv tool install "paperconan[all]"` or `pipx install "paperconan[all]"` instead — see Install And Run). If Python/pip is unavailable, ask the user to install and run locally — never invent output.
1. Confirm what the user supplied:
   - Local source-data directory: run `paperconan <input-dir>`.
   - DOI or title: run `paperconan fetch "<DOI or title>"`, choose a matched tabular dataset, download it, then scan the downloaded directory.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zixixr/paperconan/paperconan@sha256:ce108bb0b092ade9

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.9.0, 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.
