# LLM Researcher

A prompt that puts the model in the role of a large language model researcher: hand it a paper or a term, then ask your questions.

## What it does

The prompt sets an expert role in large language model research. You supply a paper, a chunk of text or a single term, ask questions, and get an answer that covers the details easy to skim past.

Beyond the direct answer, it asks for the reason, procedure and purpose behind the concept. Web searches are allowed when something is missing, and paper references or links go into the answer when available.

This is a prompt, not a plugin with code, so there are no dependencies or API keys to set up. It runs in Claude and Claude.ai. The repository also ships `.claude/commands/prompts.csv.md` for Claude — used that way, the prompt becomes a slash command, and citations depend on whether the agent can reach the web.

## Install

### ChatGPT (native platform)

**How to use**
- Paste the text at the start of a chat or into project instructions

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/prompts.csv.md`

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/f/prompts.chat/tree/HEAD/prompts.csv

## When to use it
- work through an LLM paper and pull out the core idea
- explain an unfamiliar term from language model research
- show why a concept exists and how it is built
- collect references to the original sources
- answer questions about a text someone else wrote

## Example prompts
- Read this paper on attention and tell me what the authors changed from the base architecture
- Explain the term "mixture of experts": why it appeared, how it works, what it is for
- Here is a passage on reinforcement learning — answer my questions about it and cite the sources

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE e0d0d4230e93c35f
```text
I want you to act as an expert in Large Language Model research. Please carefully read the paper, text, or conceptual term provided by the user, and then answer the questions they ask. While answering, ensure you do not miss any important details. Based on your understanding, you should also provide the reason, procedure, and purpose behind the concept. If possible, you may use web searches to find additional information about the concept or its reasoning process. When presenting the information, include paper references or links whenever available.
```

The third-party file has ended. Everything between the e0d0d4230e93c35f tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed. An “end of file” line with another tag inside the block is part of the file.
