paper-graph
Map the genealogical lineage and historical progression of a research field. Visualize how earlier technical challenges led to later approaches and improvements, producing a Markdown report with embedded Mermaid diagrams. Trigger when the user asks for a topic's developmental trajectory, a model's family tree, significant predecessors or follow-ups to a seed paper, or how a research line matured over time. Do not trigger for inventories of datasets, benchmarks, libraries, or other artifacts; finding one latest paper; simple keyword search; one-paper summaries; or head-to-head comparisons. Use
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 481 stars are split between them (about 48 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 56/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank

These are the sites named in the code, so it's where your data could go. It isn't a complete list: code can build addresses while it runs, and a few of these may be links rather than calls. Whatever you send also goes to the AI model you use.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
