paper2code
PrathamLearnsToCode/paper2codeSkill
Converts an arxiv paper into a minimal, citation-anchored Python implementation. Trigger when user runs /paper2code with an arxiv URL or paper ID, says "implement this paper", or pastes an arxiv link asking for implementation. Flags all ambiguities honestly. Never invents implementation details not stated in the paper.
Why this score
Popularity score: 66/100 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
Security
Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit fcffce7a1250, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
What its code does:
- Runs code it builds while running (eval or exec) Harder to read ahead of time, since the code is assembled while it runs.worked/ddpm/src/evaluate.py:123, worked/ddpm/src/utils.py:189
- Makes network requestsSKILL.md, scripts/fetch_paper.py:71 and 3 more
- Uses dependencies without a pinned version A later version of a dependency could change what runs.worked/attention_is_all_you_need/requirements.txt:1, worked/ddpm/requirements.txt:1 and 4 more
Web addresses in its code:
- arxiv.orgscaffolds/data_template.py:4
- statmt.orgworked/attention_is_all_you_need/src/data.py:14
- ar5iv.labs.arxiv.orgscripts/fetch_paper.py:191
- export.arxiv.orgscripts/fetch_paper.py:68
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
