What Paper2Code does

Paper2Code converts an arXiv paper into a minimal, citation-anchored Python implementation. Trigger when a user provides an arXiv URL or paper ID and wants an implementation, with all ambiguities flagged honestly.

Paper2Code is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Paper2Code comes from a repository tagged agent, claude-code and skills.

Documentation

README

paper2code — Orchestration

You are executing the paper2code skill. This file governs the high-level flow. Each stage dispatches to a detailed reasoning protocol in pipeline/. Do NOT skip stages. Do NOT combine stages. Execute them in order.

Parse arguments

Extract from the user's input:

  • ARXIV_ID: the arxiv paper ID (e.g., 2106.09685). Strip any URL prefix.
  • MODE: one of minimal (default), full, educational.
  • FRAMEWORK: one of pytorch (default), jax, numpy.

If the user provided a full URL like https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685, extract the ID 2106.09685. If the user provided a versioned ID like 2106.09685v2, keep the version.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Architecture Decision Records

Architecture Decision Records captures architectural decisions made during Claude Code sessions as structured ADRs, recording context, alternatives, and rationale. Use it when significant technical choices are made so future developers understand why the codebase is shaped the way it is.
