SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires semanticscholar, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The HPQ-Xray-Paper skill analyzes scholarly papers by extracting the problem, perspective, and results, then translates them into ASCII cognitive delta cards to aid understanding and memory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extracts the paper's main argument (problem-perspective-result) and renders it as concise, scene-based ASCII cards.
  • Produces structured, decision-ready summaries when users share arXiv links, HTML paper pages, or PDFs.
  • Integrates a router workflow (hpq-xray) to facilitate quick, repeatable analyses for researchers and students.

Quick Start

Provide an arXiv URL or PDF and say 'X-ray this paper' to generate the core extraction and ASCII cognitive cards.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract core claims from an arXiv paper?

Extracting core claims from an arXiv paper requires providing the URL, HTML page, or PDF for analysis. The tool translates the problem-perspective-result structure into decision-ready cognitive summaries.

What is a cognitive-delta card for academic paper analysis?

A cognitive-delta card for academic paper analysis is an ASCII-formatted summary that visualizes core claims. It translates the problem-perspective-result structure into concise, scene-based formats for memory retention.

Can I analyze PDFs and HTML pages for research summarization?

Yes, you can analyze PDFs and HTML pages for research summarization by providing them to the extraction tool. It processes the document to output the problem-perspective-result structure as ASCII cognitive-delta cards.

Does the paper analysis tool integrate with Semantic Scholar?

Yes, the paper analysis tool integrates with Semantic Scholar to facilitate quick, repeatable analyses. This dependency supports extracting problem-perspective-result structures and generating cognitive summaries.

What is the best way to summarize scholarly papers for decision making?

The best way to summarize scholarly papers for decision making is extracting the problem-perspective-result structure into ASCII cognitive-delta cards. This approach provides structured, decision-ready summaries from arXiv links or PDFs.

Are there limitations to ASCII-art extraction for academic papers?

ASCII-art extraction for academic papers relies on accurately identifying the problem-perspective-result structure. Limitations may arise if the source PDF or HTML page lacks a clear, extractable argument structure.
