Based on SOC occupation classification
Credentialed-source backend for retrieving books from Bookshare (bookshare.org) into the papers/ collection. Given a book title or ISBN and a target directory name, it searches Bookshare and downloads the EPUB via the published `bookshare` CLI. Download-only (produces book.epub). Enable only if you have a Bookshare account; requires credentials in a gitignored .secrets/bookshare.json.
Paywalled-access backend for paper-retriever. Retrieves a paywalled paper's PDF through an institutional / library subscription (a library proxy such as EZproxy or OpenAthens, or an institutional login), given an identifier (DOI/URL) and the target paper directory name. Invoked by paper-retriever when open-access channels fail. Enable this skill only if the install has institutional access configured.
Paywalled-access backend for paper-retriever. Retrieves a paywalled paper's PDF via sci-hub browser automation, given an identifier (DOI/URL) and the target paper directory name. Invoked by paper-retriever when open-access channels fail; enabled by default. Disable this skill to remove sci-hub from the retrieval waterfall.
Retrieve a scientific paper PDF given an arxiv URL, DOI, or paper title. Downloads to papers/ directory. Handles open-access retrieval (arxiv direct, Chrome print-to-pdf for publisher-direct HTML, Unpaywall, title-based open-repository search); for paywalled papers it hands off to whichever paper-retriever-* access skill is enabled (sci-hub by default, or institutional).
Read scientific papers and extract implementation-focused notes. Converts PDFs to page images, then reads them. Papers <=300pp are read directly by the assigned worker; papers >300pp use a chapter-aligned chunk protocol (preferred) or 50-page chunks (fallback) and synthesize a master notes.md that links to per-chapter files. Creates structured notes in papers/ directory.
Cross-reference a paper against the collection. Finds which cited papers are already collected, which are new leads, which collection papers cite this one, and reconciles all cross-references bidirectionally. Run on a single paper directory or use --all for the entire collection.

Find all root-level PDFs in papers/ and process each one through paper-process.
ls papers/*.pdf 2>/dev/null
If none are present, report No unprocessed papers found and stop.
For each PDF found, invoke:
/research-papers:paper-process papers/filename.pdf
If subagents are available, parallelize by paper. If subagents are unavailable, process the PDFs sequentially.
