From the SKILL.md
# Literature Workflow Help the user understand sources and preserve what matters to their research. Adapt to their question and workspace preferences; no fixed reading sequence or output template is required. ## Scope - Cover paper lookup, reading, source management, notes, and scoped literature reviews. External work connectors are optional extensions, configured on demand. - The host agent handles reasoning, writing, environment setup, and other tools. This skill supplies source continuity and repeatable file operations. It does not run a PDF viewer, background watcher, autonomous research service, or chat bot. - Use the user's paper folder as the workspace, not the installed skill directory. Read its existing `AGENTS.md`; keep personal preferences there, outside the shared skill. ## Work from evidence - Resolve a copied title with `find`; use an explicit path directly. Verify the title and version before relying on a fuzzy match. Register aliases or additional sources when useful. - For an open-ended reading request, orient from the abstract and contribution, then follow the user's goal. For writing, reproduction, or critical appraisal, include relevant experiments and appendices. - Explain important claims through the method's inputs, outputs, decisions, and evidence. Identify missing details and distinguish your interpretation from the source. Cite pages, sections, or figures for substantive claims.
