aminer-daily-paper

Personalized academic paper recommendation via AMiner rec5 API. Activate this skill whenever the user asks for paper recommendations, whether triggered by /aminer-dp, /skill aminer-dp, or any natural language request such as 'recommend me papers on multimodal agents'. When invoked: extract topics/scholar signals from the input yourself, call handle_trigger.py with structured fields, then present the Markdown in `reply_text` to the user.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 9 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by AMinerOrg on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Aminer Daily Paper AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/AMinerOrg/aminer-open-skill/tree/main/skills/aminer-daily-paper
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AMinerOrg/aminer-open-skill.git /tmp/aminer-open-skill
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/aminer-open-skill/skills/aminer-daily-paper .claude/skills/aminer-daily-paper
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Aminer Daily Paper in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Aminer Daily Paper on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Aminer Daily Paper is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

aminer-daily-paper

Personalized paper recommendation via AMiner rec5 API. Token required: set AMINER_API_KEY env var.

When to activate: any time the user asks for paper recommendations — explicit command (/aminer-dp ...) or natural language (recommend me papers on RAG, 帮我推荐最近的多模态论文).


Pre-flight: Check Required Environment Variables

AMINER_API_KEY — Always required. Check before calling the script:

bash
[ -z "${AMINER_API_KEY+x}" ] && echo "AMINER_API_KEY missing" || echo "AMINER_API_KEY exists"

If missing, stop and tell the user:

AMINER_API_KEY is not set. Please obtain a token at https://open.aminer.cn and set it as an environment variable.

No other environment variables are required.


API Endpoint

POST https://datacenter.aminer.cn/gateway/open_platform/api/v3/paper/rec5

Required headers:

Request Fields

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
author_namestringconditionalScholar name (English). The backend resolves it to a scholar ID via person search.
author_orgstringoptionalScholar institution (English full name). Required for disambiguation when the name is ambiguous.
topicsstring[]conditionalResearch topic phrases. Use the user’s wording (Chinese, English, or mixed). The API accepts multi-language topic strings.
sizeintoptionalNumber of papers per call (1–20). Omit to let the model decide (see below).
offsetintoptionalPagination offset (0–100, default 0).
language_sortstringoptionalzh or en only when the user explicitly asks for Chinese- or English-biased ranking (e.g. “优先中文论文” / “prefer English papers”). Otherwise omit; the request will not include this field.

At least one of author_name or topics should be provided. When none are given, the API returns personalized recommendations based on the account associated with AMINER_API_KEY.

Input Formats

Structured commands or plain natural language — both are valid.

/aminer-dp
/aminer-dp topics: multimodal agents, tool-use
/aminer-dp scholar: Jie Tang org: Tsinghua papers: OAG-Bench | RPC-Bench
recommend me recent papers on RAG

/aminer-dp with no parameters calls the API with only the token — the API uses AMINER_API_KEY to identify the account and returns personalized recommendations.

Natural language input — you (the model) must parse it into fields before calling the script. Critical for topics:

  1. topics — do not “translate away” the user’s intent

    • If the user already wrote topics: in the trigger (e.g. 具身智能, 环境保护), pass those exact strings into handle_trigger.py’s --text. Do not replace them with unrelated English terms (e.g. do not map arbitrary topics to “Knowledge Distillation”, “Smart agriculture”, or any other field the user did not ask for).
    • If you add English for retrieval, it must be a faithful alias of the same concept (e.g. 具身智能 → embodied intelligence, 环境保护 → environmental protection). When in doubt, keep the user’s original words and do not invent synonyms.
    • Never change the user’s topic into a different research area.
  2. Scholars and institutions (person search still English-oriented)

    • author_name / author_org: use commonly used English forms when resolving scholars (e.g. Jie Tang, Tsinghua University), expand well-known institution abbreviations to full official names, and add author_org when the name is ambiguous. If you cannot map a name safely, ask the user.
  3. language_sort — Put language_sort: zh or language_sort: en in the trigger only if the user clearly wants recommendations ranked with a Chinese or English preference. If they did not ask, do not add it (the API call omits language_sort).

  4. Decide size and whether to make multiple calls (see Call Strategy).

  5. Reconstruct the trigger, then call handle_trigger.py.

Example (Chinese topics — keep as-is):

  • User: /aminer-dp topics: 具身智能, 环境保护
  • You call: handle_trigger.py --text "/aminer-dp topics: 具身智能, 环境保护"
    (Do not rewrite topics into unrelated English.)

Example:

  • User: /aminer-dp 我做多模态智能体和 tool-use,帮我推荐最近论文
  • You extract: topics: multimodal agents, tool-use
  • You call: handle_trigger.py --text "/aminer-dp topics: multimodal agents, tool-use size: 5"

Example (scholar):

  • User: /aminer-dp 我是唐杰,清华大学,做多模态和知识图谱
  • You extract: scholar: Jie Tang, org: Tsinghua University, topics: multimodal, knowledge graph
  • You call: handle_trigger.py --text "/aminer-dp scholar: Jie Tang org: Tsinghua University topics: multimodal, knowledge graph"

Example (ambiguous name, ask user):

  • User: /aminer-dp 推荐张伟方向的论文
  • You: "张伟是一个常见名字,请提供机构信息以便精确匹配,例如:张伟,北京大学。或者直接提供 aminer_author_id。"

papers field: representative paper titles (e.g. papers: OAG-Bench | RPC-Bench) accompany scholar/author_name for disambiguation context. They do not map directly to an API field.


Call Strategy

You decide size and whether to make multiple calls based on the input:

ScenarioAction
Single topic or scholar, casual request1 call, omit size (default 10)
User explicitly asks for a number (e.g. "give me 5")1 call, honor the number (max 20)
Multiple distinct topics (e.g. RAG + multimodal agents)1 call per topic group, size: 5 each
Broad open-ended request with no topics1 call, omit size (default 10)

Multi-call rules:

  • Call handle_trigger.py once per topic group, passing a focused topics: subset each time.
  • Keep each topics: list to 1–3 closely related terms for precision.
  • Make calls sequentially; present all results together after all calls finish.
  • Total papers across all calls should not exceed ~15 unless the user asks for more.

Execution

Only one supported entrypoint:

bash
python3 "{baseDir}/scripts/handle_trigger.py" \
  --base-dir "{baseDir}" \
  --text "<trigger text with explicit fields>" \
  [--config /path/to/config.yaml]
  • --text: reconstructed trigger with explicit fields (topics:, scholar:, etc.)
  • --config: optional path to a YAML config (defaults to {baseDir}/config.yaml when the file exists, via the runtime copy under outputs/)

handle_trigger.py parses the fields, calls the rec5 API, and returns JSON including reply_text (Markdown) for you to show to the user.


Contract

  • Every explicit invocation is a new run.
  • Do not answer with status-only text.
  • Do not search, install, or repair skills.
  • After running handle_trigger.py, check final_response in the JSON output:
    • TEXT — Normal path. Present reply_text (Markdown) to the user. Optional: you may still refine wording for the active channel; prompts/enrich.md is a reference for Chinese enrichment if you want richer copy.
    • Any error → report the reply_text (or error detail) to the user.

Note: The skill only returns JSON with reply_text; it does not implement channel-specific sending.


Error Handling

  • AMINER_API_KEY missing → stop, prompt user to set it.
  • No profile input → prompt user to provide topics, scholar name, or aminer_author_id.
  • API error → report the error stage; do not fall back to other skills.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aminer Daily Paper AI skill do?

Personalized academic paper recommendation via AMiner rec5 API. Activate this skill whenever the user asks for paper recommendations, whether triggered by /aminer-dp, /skill aminer-dp, or any natural language request such as 'recommend me papers on multimodal agents'. When invoked: extract topics/scholar signals from the input yourself, call handle_trigger.py with structured fields, then present the Markdown in `reply_text` to the user.

Why use Aminer Daily Paper on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Aminer Daily Paper is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Aminer Daily Paper in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/AMinerOrg/aminer-open-skill/tree/main/skills/aminer-daily-paper. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Aminer Daily Paper?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Aminer Daily Paper?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Aminer Daily Paper with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Aminer Daily Paper AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by AMinerOrg under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
