Daily Paper Plugin

中文

Daily Paper selects three papers from the Hugging Face Papers weekly and monthly rankings, downloads their arXiv PDFs, and produces detailed Chinese reading notes plus a roughly five-minute Chinese brief. This directory is an independent Python distribution. Its single reme.plugins entry point exposes a plugin.yaml containing five Step backends and their Job configuration under application_defaults. Enable the installed plugin explicitly through plugins=["daily-paper"].

Quick start

1. Install ReMe and Daily Paper

python -m pip install "reme-ai[core]>=0.4.1.8"
reme plugins install reme-daily-paper

2. Configure the model environment

Configure the LLM environment variables as described in the ReMe model-configuration guide. Other compatible models and providers can also be used. The workflow also requires network access to Hugging Face Papers and arXiv.

3. Start ReMe with the plugin

reme start plugins='["daily-paper"]'

With no explicit config, ReMe loads default.yaml and adds the plugin to that service. The plugin starts daily_paper_cron, which runs daily at 08:00. From another terminal, generate a brief manually through ReMe's CLI client:

reme daily_paper topics="Agent memory"

Or call its HTTP endpoint directly:

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:2333/daily_paper \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"topics":"Agent memory"}'

To run the Job once without starting a long-lived service:

reme start plugins='["daily-paper"]' job=daily_paper topics="Agent memory"

Pipeline

Hugging Face weekly/monthly rankings
                 ↓
merge ranks and exclude yesterday's and recently recommended papers
                 ↓
rank with RRF and let an Agent select three papers
                 ↓
download and parse arXiv PDFs, then write three Chinese analyses
                 ↓
use memory_search + read to connect prior memory and generate a brief
                 ↓
refresh the daily index and optionally send the brief to DingTalk

daily_paper_collect_step concurrently reads the weekly and monthly rankings for the run date plus the strictly preceding day's Daily Papers. It merges candidates by arXiv ID and excludes both yesterday's list and papers recommended within history_days.

daily_paper_rank_step combines weekly and monthly positions with reciprocal-rank fusion and retains at most candidate_limit papers. daily_paper_select_step then asks a tool-free Agent to select three unique candidate IDs. Non-empty topics affect selection preference but not the fixed count.

daily_paper_analyze_step downloads PDFs into resource/papers/, reuses existing valid files, and extracts text within the configured page, character, and file-size limits. It writes the three Chinese analyses in selection order. Scanned PDFs and files without a text layer fail explicitly.

daily_paper_digest_step treats those three analyses as the factual source and receives only the read-only memory_search and read tools for linking earlier memory. Code validates historical wikilinks, appends links to all three source notes, and rebuilds the daily index. The optional dingtalk_markdown_send_step sends the final brief when conversation IDs are configured and otherwise skips without side effects.

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Purpose
date	""	Empty uses today in the application timezone; otherwise use YYYY-MM-DD
force	false	Regenerate when that day's final brief already exists
use_hf_mirror	false	Use HF_MIRROR_URL, or https://hf-mirror.com when it is unset
topics	""	Optional topics to prioritize during selection
weekly_weight	0.7	Weekly contribution in reciprocal-rank fusion
history_days	30	Prior recommendation window excluded by arXiv ID

Step-level defaults are candidate_limit=20, rrf_k=60, hf_timeout=600, hf_max_retries=3, pdf_timeout=600, max_pdf_bytes=52428800, max_pdf_pages=35, and max_pdf_chars=300000.

The data clients automatically honor HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY. Manual runs enable the Hugging Face mirror with use_hf_mirror=true; the cron Job enables it by default and can use the official service with DAILY_PAPER_USE_HF_MIRROR=false. These environment variables override data sources and DingTalk settings:

HF_MIRROR_URL=https://hf-mirror.com
ARXIV_MIRROR_URL=https://export.arxiv.org
DINGTALK_APP_KEY=your-app-key
DINGTALK_APP_SECRET=your-app-secret
DINGTALK_ROBOT_CODE=your-robot-code
DINGTALK_CONVERSATION_IDS=cid-group-one,cid-group-two

Output

.reme/
├── daily/
│   ├── YYYY-MM-DD.md
│   └── YYYY-MM-DD/
│       ├── <Chinese-paper-title>.md  # three, kind: daily-paper-analysis
│       └── <Chinese-brief-title>.md  # one, kind: daily-paper-brief
└── resource/papers/
    └── <arxiv-id>.pdf

Markdown and PDF files are written atomically through temporary files in the same directory. force=true regenerates the selected analyses and brief while reusing valid PDFs; it does not delete other notes already present for that day. Network errors, too few candidates, invalid Agent output, and unparseable PDFs fail explicitly.

Validation

python -m pytest plugins/daily_paper -v

Unit tests mock the Hugging Face, arXiv, AgentScope, and DingTalk boundaries and do not contact external services.
