HF Daily Papers#

Fetch papers from HuggingFace Daily Papers feed and generate a digest with analysis.

Setup: Get Your HF Token#

1. Go to https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
2. Create a Read token (any name)
3. Set the token as an environment variable:

powershell

# Windows PowerShell
$env:HF_TOKEN = "hf_xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

# macOS / Linux / Git Bash
export HF_TOKEN="hf_xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

The script reads HF_TOKEN from os.environ. If not set, it exits with a clear error message.

Step 1: Run the fetcher#

bash

cd <skill-path>/scripts && python hf_papers.py [date YYYY-MM-DD]

• No date arg = yesterday
• Output: hf_results.json (saved in the working directory)

Step 2: Read results#
