Paperzilla Paper Recommendations

Lets your agent browse Paperzilla projects, recommendation feeds, and canonical papers through the `pz` CLI.

EducationIntermediate★ 33,030⑂ 3,248AI score 7/10Last updated: Aug 9, 2026

What it does

Gives Claude direct access to your Paperzilla data via the pz command-line tool. It can list research projects, browse recommendation feeds with filters (--must-read, --since, --limit), open individual recommendations or canonical papers, request Markdown or JSON output, leave feedback (upvote, star, downvote with a reason), and produce a personal Atom feed URL for RSS readers.

It is deliberately a "core" skill: it exposes the data without forcing a workflow, so you can layer summarization, comparison, or note-taking on top.

Who it's for

  • Researchers already using Paperzilla who want to triage daily paper recommendations fast
  • Grad students and lab members juggling several projects, each with its own feed
  • Anyone who wants paper metadata as JSON to feed into their own pipeline or notes app

Examples

  1. "Show the 5 newest must-read recommendations in project X and explain why each matters" → runs pz feed <project-id> --must-read --limit 5, then summarizes
  2. "Pull this recommendation as markdown and summarize it by problem / method / limitations" → pz rec <id> --markdown
  3. "This one isn't relevant — downvote it with reason not_relevant" → pz feedback <id> downvote --reason not_relevant
