Initialize PaperPipe Integration
Task: Initialize or update PaperPipe integration in this project's agent instructions.
Steps
- Run
papi docsto get the current agent integration snippet - Find the agent instructions file in the repo root (check in order: AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md)
- If none exist, create AGENTS.md
- Look for an existing
## Paper References (PaperPipe)section in the file - If the section exists: replace it entirely (from
## Paper References (PaperPipe)up to the next##heading or end of file) - If no such section exists: append the snippet at the end of the file
- Show the user what changed (diff or summary)
Notes
- The snippet from
papi docsstarts with introductory text and a markdown code block containing## Paper References (PaperPipe) - Extract only the content inside the code block (lines between the triple backticks)
- Do NOT include the
<details>glossary section frompapi docsoutput - Preserve all existing content in the agent instructions file
For general CLI commands, see /papi.
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
papi-ask
Query papers using RAG (PaperQA2 or LEANN). Use when user needs synthesized answers from papers, asks "what does paper X say about Y", or needs cited responses.
papi-compare
Compare papers for a decision. Use when user asks "which paper should I use", "compare approaches", or needs to choose between methods/algorithms.
papi-curate
Create project notes from papers. Use when user wants to document paper findings, create implementation notes, or summarize papers for a project.
papi
This skill should be used when the user wants to interact with their paper database — listing papers, searching content, showing paper details, adding papers, or exporting context. Matches queries like "search papers for X", "add this arXiv paper", "show equations from paper Y", "what papers do I have". Prefer CLI over MCP RAG tools for direct lookups.
papi-verify
Verify code against paper. Use when user asks "does this match the paper", "check my implementation", or is implementing equations/algorithms from literature.
papi-ground
Ground responses in paper excerpts with citations. Use when user wants cited claims, quotes, or needs to avoid hallucination about paper content.
