paperclip is a Literature review & citations skill for AI agents, published by K-Dense-AI in the claude-scientific-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates paperclip F (15/100) and the safety scan rated it unsafe; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Search and read full-text biomedical papers, FDA/PMDA/EMA regulatory documents, clinical trial registries, and UniProt/PDB/ChEMBL entries with the Paperclip CLI from GXL. Covers installing and authenticating the `paperclip` binary with a PAPERCLIP_API_KEY, the read-only virtual filesystem under /papers, /fda, /trials, /proteins and /clipboard, source-scoped semantic search, corpus-wide grep, metadata lookup and SQL, map/reduce reading across many papers, figure vision analysis, opt-in paper repositories with claim verification, and line-pinned citations. Use when asked to install paperclip, run paperclip search/grep/map/reduce/sql/repo, find or read biomedical literature, regulatory filings or clinical trials through paperclip, or produce citations with line numbers.
