paper-to-intuition
Paper to Intuition
Transform dense academic papers into genuine understanding through layered explanation and visual intuition.
Process
- Get the paper - Ask for the arXiv link, PDF, or paper title
- Extract the core - Identify the single key insight (one sentence)
- Build the ladder - Create explanations at 4 levels
- Visualize intuition - Generate interactive diagrams
- Stress test understanding - "What breaks if we remove X?"
The Explanation Ladder
Generate explanations at each level, with each building on the last:
Level 1: ELI5 (1 paragraph)
- No jargon, no equations
- Use familiar analogies from everyday life

ios-app-icon-generator
Generates a complete iOS app icon set with all required sizes. Use when asked to create an app icon, design an iOS icon, generate app store artwork, or make an icon for an iPhone/iPad app. Follows a philosophy-first approach - first defining the visual identity and concept, then producing production-ready icons.
17research-question-refiner
Helps transform a vague research interest into a concrete, tractable research question. Use when asked to refine a research idea, develop a research question, scope a research project, or figure out what to work on. Walks through systematic refinement with feasibility analysis.
14create-watchos-version
Analyzes existing iOS/macOS/Apple platform projects to create a comprehensive, phased plan for building a watchOS companion or standalone app. Use when users want to add watchOS support to an existing Apple platform app, create a Watch app version of their iOS app, or build watchOS features. The skill digests project architecture, identifies patterns, analyzes API compatibility, searches for current watchOS documentation, and produces a detailed implementation plan with API availability warnings before any code generation.
9implement-paper-from-scratch
Guides you through implementing a research paper step-by-step from scratch. Use when asked to implement a paper, code up a paper, reproduce research results, or build a model from a paper. Focuses on building understanding through implementation with checkpoint questions.
8turn-this-feature-into-a-blog-post
Generates a technical blog post from code implementation. Use when asked to write a blog post about a feature, explain an implementation for a blog, document code as a blog article, or create technical content from source code. Triggers on phrases like "write a blog post about", "turn this into a blog", "create a technical article", or "explain this for a blog".
5experiment-design-checklist
Generates a rigorous experiment design given a hypothesis. Use when asked to design experiments, plan experiments, create an experimental setup, or figure out how to test a research hypothesis. Covers controls, baselines, ablations, metrics, statistical tests, and compute estimates.
