What problem does it solve?
It solves the problem of quickly bringing a published research paper into your workspace so you can read, classify, consult methods, and reproduce results without manual downloading and restructuring.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Import and stage papers: Clones a Git repository at a specific version (optional), accepts a local publication-staging directory, or imports an arXiv paper by ID/URL into an APP-shaped folder structure.
- Classify APP compatibility: Determines whether a repo is an agent-readable repo, an APP-structured candidate (via AGENTS.md protocol frontmatter), or a verified APP publication (via release tag + APP_PUBLICATION.json manifest verification).
- Find and bootstrap associated code for reading: In arXiv mode, searches and downloads credible public code repositories to help you consult implementations and reproduction assets.
- Use case: You have a link or arXiv ID and want your agent to inspect the paper, understand reproduction context, and continue with analysis or discussion using a consistent protocol-shaped layout.
