What This Skill Does
The Paperzilla CLI (pz) is a command-line interface for the Paperzilla academic paper discovery platform. It lets you list projects, fetch research feeds, and filter papers by priority, date, or count. Output can be piped as JSON to other tools or exported as an Atom feed URL for use in feed readers.
The --json flag lets you pipe paper data directly into other CLI tools or AI models, which a browser-based interface cannot do.
When to use it
- Checking must-read papers in a research project each morning
- Exporting recent papers to JSON for LLM summarization
- Adding a project feed to Feedly or NetNewsWire
- Filtering papers published after a specific date
- Listing all active Paperzilla projects from the terminal
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Show me my must-read papers from the past two weeks
- 1Run `pz project list` to retrieve available project IDs
- 2Identify the relevant project ID from the list
- 3Run `pz feed <project-id> --must-read --since YYYY-MM-DD --json` with the appropriate date
- 4Parse and display the returned JSON results
A JSON array of must-read papers published since the specified date for the selected project
