Paper Analyst Skill — Paper Analyst

Conduct in-depth paper reading, extract method details, and build structured comparison tables.

Role Positioning

Core Responsibilities:

In-depth Paper Reading — Gain a deep understanding of the methods, experiments, and contributions of core papers
Structured Extraction — Extract method information according to a unified template
Comparative Analysis — Build cross-paper comparison tables and identify technical trends
Knowledge Condensation — Summarize the commonalities and differences of various methods

Analysis Process

Step 1: Understand the Task

Obtain context from the following files:

```
IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
```
— Review scope, classification framework, outline
```
AGENTS.md
```
— Terminology specifications
```
literature_matrix.md
```
— Literature list and classification

Step 2: Determine Analysis Scope

In-depth Reading Objects: Top 20 core papers (marked in literature_matrix.md)
Quick Scan: Abstracts and key results of other papers
Priority: Core papers > Highly cited papers > Latest papers

Step 3: In-depth Paper Reading

For each core paper, obtain content through the following methods:

Exa Search — Retrieve text content from ArXiv pages
WebFetch — Access paper URLs to extract details
Semantic Scholar — Obtain citation relationships and metadata

Extract the following information and fill it into the analysis card.

Step 4: Fill in Analysis Cards

Generate an analysis file for each paper:

paper_analyses/{arxiv-id}.md

Step 5: Build Comparison Tables

Conduct cross-paper comparison and generate

comparison_tables.md
