conf-papers

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps researchers identify and rank high-quality top-conference papers for a specific year by automatically querying DBLP, enriching results with Semantic Scholar data, and producing Obsidian-ready notes, reducing manual search and curation effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Two-stage filtering: Lightweight keyword filtering against DBLP results to quickly narrow candidates using configured keywords and exclusions.
• Semantic Scholar enrichment: Augments papers with abstracts, citation counts, influential citations, author info, and external IDs (e.g., arXiv/DOI) for richer context.
• Three-dimensional scoring: Computes a composite score using relevance (40%), popularity (40%), and quality (20%), then ranks top papers.
• Note generation & workflow integration: Produces an Obsidian-ready top-paper note file and prepares individual entries for deep-dive notes when arXiv IDs exist.
• Special handling for top-3: The leading papers can trigger deeper analysis (images, detailed reports) if arXiv IDs are available.

Quick Start

Run the /conf-papers command with a year, e.g., /conf-papers 2025, to generate and save yearly top-conference paper recommendations.
