description

Resolver-first skill for academic paper reading and analysis. Use when the user request to read/analyze a paper with a certain resource (uploaded files or online URLs/DOI/arXiv links), classify survey vs non-survey, and execute the correct reading workflow. Default to first-principles detailed reading for non-survey papers and survey-reading workflow for survey papers. Use evaluate-rubric as the standard only when the user explicitly asks to evaluate/critique the paper.

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. 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 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, including the strict 8-point.

For survey papers, default to 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 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
