Paper pain is "read for ages, still don't know what it proved". The point of AI: give the source, let it split problem-method-conclusion-limit, you judge usability — not let it declare "this is great" for you.

Who this is for / not for

For:

  • Quickly understand one / many papers
  • Write a review or survey
  • Out-of-field, grab the gist

Not for:

  • AI to "read and endorse" (you judge)
  • Copy conclusions as your own (misconduct)
  • Title only, ask conclusion (fabricates)

Before you start

  1. Source: PDF link or text.
  2. Goal: review / reproduce / just conclusion.
  3. (Opt) scope: year / method limit.

Steps

1. Install the skill

paper-analysis-assistant is a paper skill (runs locally). Copy its folder into your client's skills directory (same as any Agent Skill):

ClientDirectory

Codex~/.codex/skills/
Cursor~/.cursor/skills/
Trae~/.trae/skills/
CodeBuddy~/.codebuddy/skills/
Tongyi Lingma~/.lingma/skills/

2. Split structure, not conclusion

text
Analyze this paper: problem / method / main conclusion / limits / relevance to my topic,
cite paragraph numbers. Don't say "valuable", state facts only.

3. Review with content-research-writer

Many papers → content-research-writer merges into a review, marking contributions and conflicts:

text
Merge 5 papers on X into an 800-word review:
consensus, disagreements, which method most trustworthy. Cite sources.

4. You verify

AI's "conclusion" you check against source, delete fabricated cites, flag uncertainty.

一句话结论

结论:读论文先让 AI 拆"问题—方法—结论—局限"并引原文,价值判断你做、引用你核对,别抄当自己成果。
