Analyze Paper

Extract structured information from an academic paper, producing a comprehensive summary that downstream skills can build on.

Usage

Invoke this skill by name with the paper path (and optional flags). On slash-command hosts, prefix with / (e.g. /analyze-paper <args>).

# Analyze the primary paper under study
analyze-paper path/to/paper.pdf

# Analyze a literature paper with research goal as context
analyze-paper reaper-workspace/papers/2024-1234.pdf --goal "post-quantum threshold signatures" --output reaper-workspace/papers/2024-1234-notes.md

Argument parsing: The first non-flag argument is the paper path. Optional flags:

• --output <path>: Write output to the given path instead of the default reaper-workspace/notes/paper-summary.md.
• --goal "<text>": The research goal as additional context. When provided, the output includes a Relevance section assessing how the paper relates to this goal, and reading depth is calibrated by relevance (see Step 1).
