paper-reader-heilmeier
Read a research paper end to end and produce a single Heilmeier-style analysis that doubles as both summary and critique. Use this skill whenever the user shares a research paper (PDF upload, arXiv link, arXiv ID, DOI, or pasted paper text) and asks anything that resembles "read this", "summarize this paper", "what does this paper do", "analyze this paper", "give me a Heilmeier analysis", "review this paper", or simply drops a paper into the chat with little explanation. Trigger this skill even when the user does not explicitly say "Heilmeier" — any request to digest, summarize, review, or critically assess an academic paper should activate it. Do NOT use this skill for non-academic articles, blog posts, or news.

Paper Reader + Heilmeier's Catechism
This skill produces a single inline markdown response: a modified Heilmeier's Catechism analysis that absorbs the structured summary into the catechism itself. There is no separate summary section.
Step 1: Acquire the paper
Always read the paper fresh. Never rely on memory of the paper, even if the title looks familiar.
| Input type | Action |
|---|---|
PDF in /mnt/user-data/uploads/ | Read it via the appropriate tool (see the pdf-reading skill if available). |
| arXiv link, arXiv ID, or DOI | Use web_fetch on the arXiv abstract page, then on the PDF/HTML version for full text. |
| Pasted text in the chat | Use directly. |
| Just a title with no link | Ask the user for a link or upload before proceeding. Do not guess the paper. |
