Skills
paper-close-reading
Look up paper metadata and citation counts with the bounded Google Scholar helper or host-provided browser when requested, and explore citing papers only on request. Guide rigorous, source-grounded close reading of academic papers, technical reports, PDFs, sections, figures, tables, and appendices through either guided interactive reading or autonomous full-paper analysis. Use when the user asks to read a paper closely, continue to the next section, explain selected text, follow a three-pass reading process, inspect cited visual evidence, critique experiments, resume a multi-turn reading, or produce reusable research notes with precise source locations, methods, metrics, limitations, and task transfer.
