What problem does it solve?
It helps you quickly understand a research paper at the right depth, so you can triage time spent, learn the core ideas, and extract reviewer-grade insights without getting lost in details.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Three-pass paper understanding: delivers a fast bird’s-eye overview, a content grasp with figure/table scrutiny, and a deep reviewer-grade analysis via “virtually re-implementing” the work.
- Five-C structured triage: produces Category, Context, Correctness, Contributions, and Clarity, plus jargon decoding and a stop-or-continue recommendation after Pass 1.
- Reviewer extraction via Heilmeier Catechism: optionally switches to a structured lens for problem, current practice, novelty, impact, adoption risks, and realism—useful for reviewing or deciding whether to build on the paper.
Quick Start
Use the paper-read skill to walk through an arXiv paper you just opened, stopping after Pass 1 if it’s not worth deeper reading or continuing to Pass 3 if you’re reviewing or building on it.
