This skill extracts claims, models, proofs, and limitations from a research paper. You use it to analyze or summarize an academic paper.
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
# Analyze Paper You must read and apply the [language rules](../reaper/references/language.md) before you write any output. ## Usage You invoke this skill by name with a paper path. Slash-command hosts use `/analyze-paper <args>`. ``` analyze-paper path/to/paper.pdf analyze-paper reaper-workspace/papers/2024-1234.pdf --goal "post-quantum threshold signatures" --output reaper-workspace/papers/2024-1234-notes.md ``` The first argument without a flag gives the paper path. - `--output <path>` sets the output path. The default path is `reaper-workspace/notes/paper-summary.md`. - `--goal "<text>"` supplies the research goal. This flag requires a Relevance section. ## Instructions ### 1. Read the Paper You read the paper with the host's file tool. You extract text first if the host cannot read PDFs. You follow `../reaper/references/paper-analysis.md`: - **Pass 1:** You read the abstract, introduction, conclusion, and theorem statements. You identify the main claims. - **Pass 2:** You read the protocol, proof outlines, and figures. You identify the technical approach. - **Pass 3:** You read the full proofs, appendices, and security reductions. You check each logical step. …

How to install
mdr add sebastianelvis/reaper/analyze-paper@sha256:5800b45be553cccdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.5e86435, 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.
