Install the Paper Search skill

Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)

npx skills add https://github.com/open-gitagent/opengap --skill paper-search

Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/open-gitagent/opengap.git /tmp/opengap
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/opengap/examples/nvidia-deep-researcher/skills/paper-search ~/.claude/skills/paper-search

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

What it costs your context

Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.

Until it is used, paper-search costs about 105× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,363 tokens on every turn). Installing all 18 skills from open-gitagent/opengap would load 890 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study

Checks

Our checks found nothing to flag: it follows the Agent Skills specification's naming and size guidelines and doesn't pipe downloads into a shell.

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): paper-search. The agent can use these without asking while the skill is active.
