SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing a growing set of research papers can be chaotic without a clear, visual system. This Skill provides an integrated reading-list workflow with a kanban-style status board and an HTML dashboard to keep track of what to read, what you're reading, and what you've completed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Kanban-style reading list: Organize papers into To Read, Reading, and Done with quick status updates.
  • HTML dashboard: Generate a browsable overview of your reading progress for easy sharing and review.
  • arXiv integration: Add papers by arXiv link or ID and automatically update titles and authors.
  • Triggered actions: Add, mark as read, begin reading, and remove papers via natural commands.

Quick Start

Add a paper to the reading list by arXiv link or ID.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage a reading list of arXiv papers with a kanban board?

Manage a kanban-style reading list by adding arXiv papers via links or IDs and organizing them across To Read, Reading, and Done statuses. It automatically fetches titles and authors, rendering an HTML dashboard to visually track your research workflow progress.

Can I automatically generate an HTML dashboard for my research paper management?

Yes, generate an HTML dashboard for research paper management by rendering your reading list from a JSON or YAML data store. This creates a browsable overview of your reading progress, allowing for easy sharing and visual review of your tracked papers.

What is the best way to track paper reading progress from To Read to Done?

Track paper reading progress from To Read to Done using a kanban-style status board that enforces structured state transitions with validation. You can trigger status updates and begin reading actions via natural commands to keep your research workflow organized.

How do I add arXiv papers to a reading list and update their statuses?

Add arXiv papers to your reading list using their links or IDs, which automatically updates titles and authors. You can then update their statuses across To Read, Reading, and Done workflows through natural commands with built-in validation and error handling.

Does this reading list workflow support JSON or YAML data stores for paper management?

Yes, the reading list workflow supports JSON and YAML data stores for paper management. It uses these formats to maintain your reading list data and renders the HTML dashboard from a template, ensuring structured state transitions and reliable data persistence.

Are there limitations when enforcing state transitions in a kanban-style reading list?

The kanban-style reading list enforces structured state transitions with validation and error handling to prevent invalid status updates. This ensures papers follow the To Read, Reading, and Done workflow sequentially, maintaining data integrity within your JSON or YAML store.
