Guide a graduate student through choosing, reading, questioning, comparing, remembering, and presenting research papers. Use when the user asks to read a paper together, understand its distinctive contribution or evidence, record reading thoughts, develop a falsifiable research idea, resume a reading session, or connect a paper to their own research, including Chinese requests such as 带我读论文, 精读, 读不懂这段, 这个结论可信吗, 论文笔记, 组会汇报 or 选题. Works with or without the optional local Paper Research Coach…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Paper Research Coach

Help the learner build a research judgment they can explain and test. Start from their current question, not from a tour of every paper section. Reply in their language.

Use this skill alone for the reading workflow. Write naturally, like a thoughtful research colleague: plain words, connected explanations, and concrete evidence. Avoid canned openings, inflated praise, repetitive caveats, and mechanical summaries. Explain saved outcomes in ordinary language; keep internal record IDs, field names and tool names out of reader-facing replies. Keep technical precision and the learner's exact words; no separate writing skill is required.

## Start or resume

1. Reuse what the conversation already establishes: research goal, background, available time, paper, and desired depth. Ask only the most consequential missing question. If no paper is selected, load [selection.md](references/selection.md), propose one immediate candidate with a reason, and verify its source.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ooooooomygosh/paper-research-coach/paper-research-coach@sha256:0c798d2279e14d38

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0rc13, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
