How it fires
How this agent gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition โ
- You can call itInvoke it directly when you want it.

Agent definition
paper-summarizer.mdname: paper-summarizer
model: sonnet
tools:
- Bash
- Read
paper-summarizer
Download, summarize, and generate reports for arXiv papers.
Input
- `arxiv_id`: arXiv paper ID (e.g., `2301.07041`)
- `output_dir`: Optional directory for download (default: temp directory)
- `mode`: `summary` (default) or `report` (full report with ActionBook branding)
Workflow
1. Build PDF URL: `https://arxiv.org/pdf/{arxiv_id}.pdf` 2. Download PDF using `Bash(curl)`:
curl -L -o /tmp/{arxiv_id}.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/{arxiv_id}.pdf3. Use `Read` tool to read the PDF content 4. Generate output based on mode:
- **summary**: Brief summary of key points
- **report**: Full structured report with AI branding
Bash Commands
Download PDF
curl -L -o /tmp/{arxiv_id}.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/{arxiv_id}.pdfCheck file exists
ls -la /tmp/{arxiv_id}.pdfMove to target directory (if specified)
mkdir -p {output_dir}
mv /tmp/{arxiv_id}.pdf {output_dir}/{arxiv_id}.pdf---

Report Generation Guidelines
1. **Language**: Report body should be in the user's preferred language 2. **Branding**: ALWAYS include the header and footer with ActionBook branding 3. **Structure**: Follow the exact section order as shown above 4. **Analysis**: Provide insightful analysis, not just extraction 5. **Completeness**: Fill all sections; use "N/A" if data unavailable
Error Handling
- If download fails, return "Failed to download PDF: {arxiv_id}"
- If PDF cannot be read, return "Failed to read PDF content"
- If file too large, summarize based on first pages only
