High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To answer questions about a research paper stored in your vault, the Skill uses your note contents as the primary source and fetches arXiv HTML as a fallback to fill information gaps. It cites details directly from the note or fetched content to prevent hallucinations.
Vault-based paper QA prioritizes your existing notes to answer queries, but if the note lacks necessary details, it uses the frontmatter URL to fetch arXiv HTML. This fallback enriches the answer with precise sections without over-fetching irrelevant data.
No, you cannot ask questions about multiple papers simultaneously. The workflow focuses on a single paper per query to maintain accuracy and clarity, targeting notes specifically located in the Reading/ directory.
Yes, the paper QA tool references linked projects or notes to provide relevant research context. This context-aware referencing helps ground the answer in your existing knowledge base alongside the primary paper note.
The main limitation is that the Skill avoids hallucinations or speculation by strictly citing information from notes or fetched arXiv content. If the paper note lacks a frontmatter URL, the arXiv HTML fallback mechanism cannot be triggered to fill gaps.
