Analyzes or compares 2+ papers or methods. Triggers on "compare these papers", "analyze this method", "which is better?".

Verifies every Markdown link citation in `_papers/` and `_ideas/` notes resolves to the correct paper and that the attributed claim actually matches what the paper says. Gate skill — run before finalizing literature_review/go/check outputs.

Adversarial self-review gate that re-reads a literature review, comparison, or idea list before it's presented as final, hunting for overclaiming, cherry-picking, and gaps.

Documentation generator for public APIs, functions, and modules. Use when exports, signatures, or new modules are added or changed.

Evidence-hierarchy enforcer for research and analysis. Rates every claim by its evidence tier (primary > peer-reviewed > secondary > anecdotal) and refuses to overstate. Use when synthesizing findings or answering factual questions.

Reads and summarizes ONE specific paper. Triggers on "read this paper", "summarize X", or when the user gives a specific paper title/link.

Searches online for ML/AI papers relevant to a topic. Triggers on "find papers about X", "recent research on X", "any papers on this topic?".

Reproducibility checker for computational research and analyses. Demands pinned seeds, versions, and data hashes so a result can be re-run. Use when producing any number, figure, or benchmark a decision will rest on.

Weighs competing findings or conclusions from a review/comparison output before it's finalized — checks whether the stated conclusion is actually balanced against the evidence on both sides. Triggers after `check` (comparison) or `ship` (ideation) produces a verdict.

Generates research or project ideas from papers reviewed so far. Triggers on "what could I do with this", "next research direction", "ideas based on this paper".

Verifies source legitimacy — that a paper is real, its venue/arXiv ID is accurate, and its review status is correctly stated. Distinct from citation_accuracy, which checks claim-to-citation matching.

Entry point for paper research requests. Routes the request into one of 4 branches (search / read / analyze-compare / ideate). Triggers on requests like "find papers about X", "read this paper for me", "compare these", "any ideas from this".

Detects when a research session is going in circles — repeated searches with no new results, re-reading already-summarized papers, or ideas that repeat earlier rejected ones — and suggests a pivot.
