• Activate virtual environment: source .venv/bin/activate

All paths are relative to the directory containing this SKILL.md
file.

path.

Method 1: Index Paper from arXiv

Add a paper to Hugging Face Paper Pages from arXiv.

Basic Usage:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py index \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345"

Check If Paper Exists:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py check \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345"

Direct URL Access:
You can also visit https://huggingface.co/papers/{arxiv-id} directly to index a paper.

Method 2: Link Paper to Model/Dataset

Add paper references to model or dataset README with proper YAML metadata.

Add to Model Card:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py link \
  --repo-id "username/model-name" \
  --repo-type "model" \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345"

Add to Dataset Card:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py link \
  --repo-id "username/dataset-name" \
  --repo-type "dataset" \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345"

Add Multiple Papers:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py link \
  --repo-id "username/model-name" \
  --repo-type "model" \
  --arxiv-ids "2301.12345,2302.67890,2303.11111"

With Custom Citation:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py link \
  --repo-id "username/model-name" \
  --repo-type "model" \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345" \
  --citation "$(cat citation.txt)"

How Linking Works

When you add an arXiv paper link to a model or dataset README:
1. The Hub extracts the arXiv ID from the link
2. A tag arxiv:<PAPER_ID> is automatically added to the repository
3. Users can click the tag to view the Paper Page
4. The Paper Page shows all models/datasets citing this paper
5. Papers are discoverable through filters and search

Method 3: Claim Authorship

Verify your authorship on papers published on Hugging Face.

Start Claim Process:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py claim \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345" \
  --email "[email protected]"

Manual Process:
1. Navigate to your paper's page: https://huggingface.co/papers/{arxiv-id}
2. Find your name in the author list
3. Click your name and select "Claim authorship"
4. Wait for admin team verification

Check Authorship Status:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py check-authorship \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345"

Method 4: Manage Paper Visibility

Control which verified papers appear on your public profile.

List Your Papers:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py list-my-papers

Toggle Visibility:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py toggle-visibility \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345" \
  --show true

Manage in Settings:
Navigate to your account settings → Papers section to toggle "Show on profile" for each paper.

Method 5: Create Research Article

Generate a professional markdown-based research paper using modern templates.

Create from Template:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py create \
  --template "standard" \
  --title "Your Paper Title" \
  --output "paper.md"

Available Templates:
- standard - Traditional scientific paper structure
- modern - Clean, web-friendly format inspired by Distill
- arxiv - arXiv-style formatting
- ml-report - Machine learning experiment report

Generate Complete Paper:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py create \
  --template "modern" \
  --title "Fine-Tuning Large Language Models with LoRA" \
  --authors "Jane Doe, John Smith" \
  --abstract "$(cat abstract.txt)" \
  --output "paper.md"

Convert to HTML:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py convert \
  --input "paper.md" \
  --output "paper.html" \
  --style "modern"

3. Include full citation information in model/dataset cards

4. Use consistent paper references across related repositories

5. Metadata Management

6. Add YAML frontmatter to all model/dataset cards
7. Include proper licensing information

8. Tag with relevant task categories and domains

9. Authorship

10. Claim authorship on papers where you're listed as author
11. Use institutional email addresses for verification

12. Keep paper visibility settings updated

13. Repository Linking

14. Link papers to all relevant models, datasets, and Spaces
15. Include paper context in README descriptions

16. Add BibTeX citations for easy reference

17. Research Articles

18. Use templates consistently within projects
19. Include code and data links in papers
20. Generate web-friendly HTML versions for sharing

Advanced Usage

Batch Link Papers:

# Link multiple papers to one repository
for arxiv_id in "2301.12345" "2302.67890" "2303.11111"; do
  uv run scripts/paper_manager.py link \
    --repo-id "username/model-name" \
    --repo-type "model" \
    --arxiv-id "$arxiv_id"
done

Extract Paper Info:

# Get paper metadata from arXiv
uv run scripts/paper_manager.py info \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345" \
  --format "json"

Generate Citation:

# Create BibTeX citation
uv run scripts/paper_manager.py citation \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345" \
  --format "bibtex"

Validate Links:

# Check all paper links in a repository
uv run scripts/paper_manager.py validate \
  --repo-id "username/model-name" \
  --repo-type "model"

Error Handling

• Paper Not Found: arXiv ID doesn't exist or isn't indexed yet
• Permission Denied: HF_TOKEN lacks write access to repository
• Invalid YAML: Malformed metadata in README frontmatter
• Authorship Failed: Email doesn't match paper author records
• Already Claimed: Another user has claimed authorship
• Rate Limiting: Too many API requests in short time

Troubleshooting

Issue: "Paper not found on Hugging Face"
- Solution: Visit hf.co/papers/{arxiv-id} to trigger indexing

Issue: "Authorship claim not verified"
- Solution: Wait for admin review or contact HF support with proof

Issue: "arXiv tag not appearing"
- Solution: Ensure README includes proper arXiv URL format

Issue: "Cannot link to repository"
- Solution: Verify HF_TOKEN has write permissions

Issue: "Template rendering errors"
- Solution: Check markdown syntax and YAML frontmatter format
