Daily Paper Digest
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This appears to be a benign paper-digest skill that fetches public paper listings, though it installs Python packages, contacts external websites, and can run on a daily schedule.
This skill is reasonable for a daily AI paper digest. Before installing, verify the package source or repository, confirm the scheduled daily run is desired, and make sure outbound access to arXiv and HuggingFace is acceptable in your environment.
Findings (3)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Users have less provenance assurance and may install dependency versions selected by the installer rather than a fully locked package set.
The declared source is not verified, the homepage appears to be a placeholder, and the registry install specification names packages without versions, although requirements.txt does pin versions.
Source: unknown; Homepage: https://github.com/your-username/daily-paper-digest; Install specifications: uv | package: arxiv, requests, beautifulsoup4, feedparser
Prefer a verified repository URL and a locked or pinned install path before relying on this in a sensitive environment.
Installing and running the skill will contact external paper websites to retrieve public content.
The skill performs outbound HTTP requests to fetch paper listings; this is expected for the stated digest function.
self.base_url = "https://huggingface.co/papers" response = requests.get(self.base_url, headers=self.headers, timeout=10)
Use it only where outbound access to arXiv and HuggingFace is acceptable, and review network policy if running it in a restricted environment.
If enabled, the skill can run automatically each day and generate a digest without a manual prompt at that time.
The skill is configured for automatic daily execution through the scheduler, which matches its daily digest purpose and is disclosed.
"type": "scheduled", "schedule": "0 9 * * *", "entry": "main.py"
Confirm you want the scheduled behavior, and adjust or disable the schedule if you only want manual invocation.
