Overview

When to Use

Use this skill when a user wants to publish, link, index, or manage research papers on the Hugging Face Hub. This skill provides comprehensive tools for AI engineers and researchers to publish, manage, and link research papers on the Hugging Face Hub. It streamlines the workflow from paper creation to publication, including integration with arXiv, model/dataset linking, and authorship management.

Integration with HF Ecosystem

• arXiv Integration: Automatic paper indexing from arXiv IDs
• Model/Dataset Linking: Connect papers to relevant artifacts through metadata
• Authorship Verification: Claim and verify paper authorship
• Research Article Template: Generate professional, modern scientific papers

Usage Instructions

The skill includes Python scripts in scripts/ for paper publishing operations.

Prerequisites

• Run scripts with uv run (dependencies are resolved from the script header)
• Set HF_TOKEN environment variable with Write-access token

All paths are relative to the directory containing this SKILL.md file. Before running any script, first cd to that directory or use the full path.

Method 1: Index Paper from arXiv

Add a paper to Hugging Face Paper Pages from arXiv.

Basic Usage:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py index \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345"

Check If Paper Exists:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py check \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345"

Direct URL Access: You can also visit https://huggingface.co/papers/{arxiv-id} directly to index a paper.

Method 2: Link Paper to Model/Dataset

Add paper references to model or dataset README with proper YAML metadata.

Add to Model Card:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py link \
  --repo-id "username/model-name" \
  --repo-type "model" \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345"

Add to Dataset Card:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py link \
  --repo-id "username/dataset-name" \
  --repo-type "dataset" \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345"

Add Multiple Papers:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py link \
  --repo-id "username/model-name" \
  --repo-type "model" \
  --arxiv-ids "2301.12345,2302.67890,2303.11111"

With Custom Citation:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py link \
  --repo-id "username/model-name" \
  --repo-type "model" \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345" \
  --citation "$(cat citation.txt)"

How Linking Works

When you add an arXiv paper link to a model or dataset README:

1. The Hub extracts the arXiv ID from the link
2. A tag arxiv:<PAPER_ID> is automatically added to the repository
3. Users can click the tag to view the Paper Page
4. The Paper Page shows all models/datasets citing this paper
5. Papers are discoverable through filters and search

Method 3: Claim Authorship

Verify your authorship on papers published on Hugging Face.

Start Claim Process:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py claim \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345" \
  --email "your.email@institution.edu"

Manual Process:

1. Navigate to your paper's page: https://huggingface.co/papers/{arxiv-id}
2. Find your name in the author list
3. Click your name and select "Claim authorship"
4. Wait for admin team verification

Check Authorship Status:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py check-authorship \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345"

Method 4: Manage Paper Visibility

Control which verified papers appear on your public profile.

List Your Papers:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py list-my-papers

Toggle Visibility:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py toggle-visibility \
  --arxiv-id "2301.12345" \
  --show true

Manage in Settings: Navigate to your account settings → Papers section to toggle "Show on profile" for each paper.

Method 5: Create Research Article

Generate a professional markdown-based research paper using modern templates.

Create from Template:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py create \
  --template "standard" \
  --title "Your Paper Title" \
  --output "paper.md"

Available Templates:

• standard - Traditional scientific paper structure
• modern - Clean, web-friendly format inspired by Distill
• arxiv - arXiv-style formatting
• ml-report - Machine learning experiment report

Generate Complete Paper:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py create \
  --template "modern" \
  --title "Fine-Tuning Large Language Models with LoRA" \
  --authors "Jane Doe, John Smith" \
  --abstract "$(cat abstract.txt)" \
  --output "paper.md"

Convert to HTML:

uv run scripts/paper_manager.py convert \
  --input "paper.md" \
  --output "paper.html" \
  --style "modern"
