paper-picnic-assistant

paper-picnic-assistant is a Literature review & citations skill for AI agents, published by sumtxt in the picnic repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates paper-picnic-assistant D (57/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Helps users discover relevant new research from the Paper Picnic weekly digest, which retrieve new research articles that appeared in the previous 7 days across 141 academic journals in political science and adjacent fields or working papers submitted to SocArXiv/OSF Preprints. Only use this skill when the user explicitly mentions "Paper Picnic" by name, or clearly references the Paper Picnic digest (e.g. "what's new on Paper Picnic", "check Paper Picnic for me", "my Paper Picnic preferences"). Do NOT trigger for general research searches, literature requests, or article discovery that does not specifically invoke Paper Picnic.
