Install the Paperzilla skill in OpenClaw, then let OpenClaw use `pz`.

The short version:

1. Install the [Paperzilla CLI](/guides/cli) and run `pz login`.
2. In OpenClaw, install the Paperzilla skill:

```bash theme={null}
openclaw skills install paperzilla
```

If you already use the separate ClawHub CLI, this also works:

```bash theme={null}
clawhub install paperzilla
```

After that, ask OpenClaw to use Paperzilla in the workspace where you installed the skill.

OpenClaw can then use the same CLI workflows:

```bash theme={null}
pz project list --json
pz feed search --project-id <project-id> --query "retrieval evaluation" --json
pz paper <paper-id> --json
pz rec <project-paper-id> --markdown
```

`pz project list --json` returns a compact project summary array, which is usually enough to pick the right `project-id`.

Use `pz paper` for canonical paper metadata.

Use `pz rec --markdown` after a project feed search when you want markdown in project context. That path can queue markdown generation if it is not ready yet.

For the full setup flow, see [Use the Paperzilla CLI with OpenClaw](/guides/openclaw).
