paperzilla
Paperzilla enables agents to query academic research projects, retrieve canonical papers as markdown, browse project feeds with filters, and manage recommendation feedback within Paperzilla's platform. Use this skill when users request recent paper recommendations from specific projects, seek detailed explanations of canonical papers, need markdown-formatted summaries, want to export feeds as JSON or Atom formats, or wish to provide feedback on recommendations.

# 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 Most current profiles in this repo use the `pz` CLI. If the current profile ships extra agent-specific instructions, follow those as well. ## Install ### macOS ```bash brew install paperzilla-ai/tap/pz ``` ### Windows (Scoop) ```bash scoop bucket add paperzilla-ai https://github.com/paperzilla-ai/scoop-bucket scoop install pz ``` ### Linux Use the official Linux install guide: - https://docs.paperzilla.ai/guides/cli-getting-started ### Build from source (Go 1.23+) See the CLI repository for source builds: - https://github.com/paperzilla-ai/pz ## Update Check whether your CLI is up to date and get install-specific upgrade steps: ```bash pz update ``` If detection is ambiguous, override it explicitly: ```bash pz update --install-method homebrew pz update --install-method scoop pz update --install-method release pz update --install-method source ``` Supported values are `auto`, `homebrew`, `scoop`, `release`, and `source`. ## Authentication ```bash pz login ``` ## CLI reference If the current profile uses `pz`, these are the core commands. ### List projects ```bash pz project list ``` ### Show one project ```bash pz project <project-id> ``` ### Browse project feed ```bash pz feed <project-id> ``` Useful flags: - `--must-read` - `--since YYYY-MM-DD` - `--limit N` - `--json` - `--atom` Examples: ```bash pz feed <project-id> --must-read --since 2026-03-01 --limit 5 pz feed <project-id> --json pz feed <project-id> --atom ``` Feed output can include existing recommendation feedback markers: - `[↑]` upvote - `[↓]` downvote - `[★]` star ### Read a canonical paper ```bash pz paper <paper-id> pz paper <paper-id> --json pz paper <paper-id> --markdown pz paper <paper-id> --project <project-id> ``` ### Open a recommendation from one of your projects ```bash pz rec <project-paper-id> pz rec <project-paper-id> --json pz rec <project-paper-id> --markdown ``` ### Leave recommendation feedback ```bash pz feedback <project-paper-id> upvote pz feedback <project-paper-id> star pz feedback <project-paper-id> downvote --reason not_relevant pz feedback clear <project-paper-id> ``` ## Output and automation - Prefer `--json` for machine parsing. - `pz paper --markdown` only returns markdown when it is already prepared. - `pz rec --markdown` can queue markdown generation and prints a friendly retry message while it is still being prepared. - `--atom` returns a personal feed URL for feed readers. ## Configuration ```bash export PZ_API_URL="https://paperzilla.ai" ``` ## References - Docs: https://docs.paperzilla.ai/guides/cli - Quickstart: https://docs.paperzilla.ai/guides/cli-getting-started - Repo: https://github.com/paperzilla-ai/pz
How to use the Adaptyv Bio Foundry API and Python SDK for protein experiment design, submission, and results retrieval. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Adaptyv, Foundry API, protein binding assays, protein screening experiments, BLI/SPR assays, thermostability assays, or wants to submit protein sequences for experimental characterization. Also trigger when code imports `adaptyv`, `adaptyv_sdk`, or `FoundryClient`, or references `foundry-api-public.adaptyvbio.com`.
This skill should be used for time series machine learning tasks including classification, regression, clustering, forecasting, anomaly detection, segmentation, and similarity search. Use when working with temporal data, sequential patterns, or time-indexed observations requiring specialized algorithms beyond standard ML approaches. Particularly suited for univariate and multivariate time series analysis with scikit-learn compatible APIs.
Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.
Infer gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from gene expression data using scalable algorithms (GRNBoost2, GENIE3). Use when analyzing transcriptomics data (bulk RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq) to identify transcription factor-target gene relationships and regulatory interactions. Supports distributed computation for large-scale datasets.
Core Python library for astronomy and astrophysics workflows that need Astropy APIs, including units/quantities, coordinates, FITS I/O, tables, time systems, WCS, and cosmology. Use when implementing or debugging astronomical data analysis code with Astropy.
Observe the user's screen via screenpipe, detect repeated research workflows, match them against existing scientific-agent-skills, and draft new skills (or composition recipes that chain existing ones) for the patterns not yet covered. Use when the user asks to analyze their recent work and propose skills based on what they actually do. Requires the screenpipe daemon (https://github.com/screenpipe/screenpipe) running locally on port 3030 — the skill has no other data source and will refuse to run if screenpipe is unreachable. All detection runs locally; only redacted cluster summaries reach the LLM.
Benchling Python SDK and REST API integration for registry entities, inventory, ELN entries, workflows, Benchling Apps, and Data Warehouse queries. Use when automating lab data with benchling-sdk or the v2 API.
Search scientific papers and retrieve structured experimental data extracted from full-text studies via the BGPT MCP server. Returns 25+ fields per paper including methods, results, sample sizes, quality scores, and conclusions. Use for literature reviews, evidence synthesis, and finding experimental details not available in abstracts alone.
