Paperzilla Paper Assistant

Lets your agent query Paperzilla projects, recommendation feeds, and canonical papers via the `pz` CLI, then summarize and give feedback.

What it does

  • Uses the pz CLI to list projects, browse per-project recommendation feeds, and fetch canonical paper data from Paperzilla.
  • Pulls papers and recommendations as markdown or JSON for summarizing and relevance analysis against your research.
  • Leaves upvote/downvote/star feedback on recommendations and generates personal Atom feed URLs.
  • Filters feeds with flags like --must-read, --since, and --limit.

Who it's for

  • Researchers and grad students already using Paperzilla.
  • Anyone who wants to triage a flood of paper recommendations straight from the terminal.
  • Users who need JSON/markdown output to feed into automation pipelines.

Examples

  1. "Show me 5 must-read recs from project X since March" → runs pz feed <project-id> --must-read --since 2026-03-01 --limit 5 and summarizes.
  2. "Fetch this paper as markdown and explain why it matters" → runs pz paper <paper-id> --markdown and interprets it.
  3. "This rec isn't relevant, downvote it" → runs pz feedback <project-paper-id> downvote --reason not_relevant.
