SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Consolidates and loads the full context for a specified academic paper into the current work session, reducing context-switching and unneeded searching across vaults, notes, and Dropbox assets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resolve a paper by fuzzy matching against the vault's projects/ list and load its per-paper context (project file, memory, and knowledge).
  • Load the paper's full context into the active session, including Status, Target & Editorial, Collaborators, Open Decisions, Knowledge, and Next Action sections.
  • Synchronize with shared memory for authors and project context, and surface the relevant North-Star next actions.
  • Provide support for scaffold when no project file exists and for on-demand per-paper context updates.

Quick Start

Invoke /paper <name> to load the full context for the specified paper into your session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I load full academic paper context into my research session?

Loading full academic paper context requires resolving the paper by fuzzy matching against your vault's projects list, then pulling its project file, shared memory, and knowledge into the active session to reduce context-switching.

What do I need to set up before loading paper context from my vault?

Loading paper context requires a projects/<paper>.md project file with YAML frontmatter, shared memory entries for authors, a North-Star reference, and a working Dropbox path to properly synchronize and load all assets.

Can I load paper context if the project file does not exist yet?

Yes, if no project file exists, you can generate one by invoking the scaffold workflow to create the required projects/<paper>.md file structure before loading the full paper context into your session.

How does fuzzy paper name resolution work when loading research context?

Fuzzy paper name resolution matches your input against the vault's projects list, allowing you to load a paper's context without needing the exact file name, simplifying the retrieval of research assets.

How do I update knowledge for an active paper across vault files and Dropbox?

Updating knowledge for an active paper uses an append-only workflow to synchronize shared memory and project context, surfacing Status, Open Decisions, and Next Action sections from your connected vault and Dropbox folders.

What sections are included when I load the full context of a research paper?

Loading the full context includes Status, Target & Editorial, Collaborators, Open Decisions, Knowledge, and Next Action sections, synchronizing with shared memory and surfacing relevant North-Star next actions.
