Skill2.6k starsChanged 4 months agoLicence not identifiedView on GitHub

Use this skill when the user has attached a PDF, paper, report, or other document and the answer needs content from more than one place in it: summarize the methods or any other section, compare sections, find where a topic is discussed, read a value or label off a figure or chart, or find/list/extract every instance of something across the whole document (datasets, benchmarks, citations, figures, table rows, accession numbers — including appendices). Parses the PDF once with a deterministic Python kernel: `pdf_pages` (pages as persistent text, or high-res images), `pdf_outline` (embedded TOC), `pdf_scan` (a lexical pre-filter that narrows a long doc to candidate pages), `pdf_grep` (regex sweep for exhaustive pattern extraction). You read the shortlist and do the relevance / summary / extraction judgment yourself. For PDF creation/manipulation, use reportlab/pypdf directly.

    paper-code-audit

    Perform three-way cross-validation of a research paper by comparing the original paper text (via Zotero), official code implementation (via Git), and personal Obsidian notes. Use this skill whenever the user wants to "audit a paper", "verify paper claims against code", "cross-check notes with implementation", "triangulate paper + code + notes", "find discrepancies between paper and code", or mentions wanting a deep, structured comparison of a paper's claims against its implementation and their own notes. Also trigger when the user asks to "analyze this paper thoroughly" with code available, or when they want to systematically reconcile what the paper says, what the code does, and what their notes claim.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 7 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

The licence could not be identified — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 7 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
