# PaperPilot ## Overview Use this skill to analyze papers from recognized content only. Follow a minimal 3-step pipeline: resolve resources, classify paper type, then read/analyze. ## Mandatory Rule - Do not synthesize from memory or unresolved sources. - Start analysis only after at least one paper resource is concretely resolved and recognized. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Confirm concrete resources and resolve with built-in tools Resolve user-provided resources with built-in tools: - uploaded artifacts: built-in file/PDF readers - online artifacts: built-in URL resolvers for URL/DOI/arXiv/publisher links Follow [resource-resolution-protocol.md](references/resource-resolution-protocol.md). For each source, record: - source id and input type - retrieval status (`resolved`, `partial`, `failed`) - resolved artifact type (`pdf`, `html`, `txt`) - recognized content volume (rough character count) - blocker notes If all sources are unresolved, stop and request corrected or additional resources. ### Step 2: Classify paper type and route workflow Use [paper-type-routing.md](references/paper-type-routing.md) to classify: - `survey` - `non-survey` - `hybrid/uncertain` Record: - routed type - confidence (`high`, `medium`, `low`) - evidence anchors used for routing Route: - `survey` -> survey synthesis workflow - `non-survey` -> first-principles detailed reading workflow (default) - `hybrid/uncertain` -> run both with explicit uncertainty note ### Step 3: Read and analyze For `non-survey` papers, default to first-principles detailed reading using [first-principles-reading-workflow.md](references/first-principles-reading-workflow.md), including the strict 8-point. For `survey` papers, default to [survey-reading-workflow.md](references/survey-reading-workflow.md), including the strict 7-part sequence. If the user requests structured presentation, include method taxonomy using a table or hierarchical structure. If the user explicitly asks to evaluate, critique, assess quality, or review the paper, apply [evaluate-rubric.md](references/evaluate-rubric.md) as the scoring standard. Output style requirements: - direct technical writing, no pleasantries - explicit evidence anchors for major claims - clear separation of facts vs inferences - explicit uncertainty marking when evidence is partial ## Resources ### `references/resource-resolution-protocol.md` Resolver-first constraints and source-resolution requirements. ### `references/paper-type-routing.md` Survey vs non-survey classification signals and routing requirements. ### `references/first-principles-reading-workflow.md` Default deep-reading method for non-survey papers. ### `references/evaluate-rubric.md` Evaluation standard to use only when the user requests paper evaluation/critique. ### `references/survey-reading-workflow.md` Default deep-reading method for survey/review papers.
