aminer-daily-paper

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

• Docs: https://open.aminer.cn/open/docs | Console: https://open.aminer.cn/open/board?tab=control

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:

[ -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:

Header	Value
Authorization	${AMINER_API_KEY}
X-Platform	Current host: claude-code / cursor / codex / openclaw; unknown if it cannot be determined
X-Skill-Name	aminer-daily-paper
X-Skill-Version	The version field in this file's frontmatter
Content-Type	application/json;charset=utf-8

Request Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
author_name	string	conditional	Scholar name (English). The backend resolves it to a scholar ID via person search.
author_org	string	optional	Scholar institution (English full name). Required for disambiguation when the name is ambiguous.
topics	string[]	conditional	Research topic phrases. Use the user’s wording (Chinese, English, or mixed). The API accepts multi-language topic strings.
size	int	optional	Number of papers per call (1–20). Omit to let the model decide (see below).
offset	int	optional	Pagination offset (0–100, default 0).
language_sort	string	optional	zh 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:

Scenario	Action
Single topic or scholar, casual request	1 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 topics	1 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:

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.
