hf-papers

Browse, search, and analyze papers from the Hugging Face Papers platform. Get trending papers, search by topic, and retrieve detailed metadata including community engagement and linked resources.

This skill wraps the Hugging Face Papers public API. It provides access to daily trending papers, keyword search, paper details (abstract, authors, upvotes, GitHub repos, project pages), and discussion comments. No authentication required.

For full paper text, use the returned arXiv ID with the arxiv-reader skill.

Results are cached locally (~/.cache/hf-papers/) for fast repeat access.
