## What it does

The skill takes a paper title, DOI, URL, arXiv identifier, Zotero item, or local PDF. It runs `fetch_pdf.py` to retrieve the source document, extracts raw sections, and prepares a manifest. Instead of producing a brief summary, it reconstructs the core argument, methodology, datasets, and unproven claims.

Execution relies on a multi-stage validation workflow. Before writing to disk, `scripts/write_obsidian_note.py` verifies the save target and blocks accidental overwrites using hash verification. The model creates a structured note plan, passes a grounding gate, and runs note linting before final quality and readability reviews.

The pipeline focuses on one paper per run. It requires an exact `output_language` set to `en` or `zh-CN`. If Python or the required workspace scripts are missing, the configuration check halts immediately.

## Requirements
- Works with: Obsidian

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add 917Dhj/DeepPaperNote --skill deeppapernote -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/deeppapernote/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/deeppapernote/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add 917Dhj/DeepPaperNote --skill deeppapernote -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/deeppapernote/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add 917Dhj/DeepPaperNote --skill deeppapernote -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/deeppapernote/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install 917Dhj/DeepPaperNote deeppapernote
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/deeppapernote/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add 917Dhj/DeepPaperNote --skill deeppapernote -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/917Dhj/DeepPaperNote --path skills/deeppapernote
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/deeppapernote/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add 917Dhj/DeepPaperNote --skill deeppapernote -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/917Dhj/DeepPaperNote/tree/HEAD/skills/deeppapernote/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- convert academic papers into structured Obsidian notes
- verify research claims against extracted raw sections
- prevent accidental note overwrites via preflight checks
- extract structure and place figure placeholders

## Example prompts
- Generate a deep-reading note for this paper
- Turn this paper into an Obsidian research note

name: deeppapernote
description: Generate a high-quality deep-reading note for a single paper and write it into an Obsidian-style vault. Use when the user gives a paper title, DOI, URL, arXiv ID, Zotero item, or local PDF and wants a polished Markdown note with strong structure, evidence-based analysis, and figure placeholders.

# DeepPaperNote

Use this skill when the user wants one outcome:
- read one paper carefully
- generate a high-quality Markdown note
- save the note to the workspace or Obsidian target selected by resolved configuration

Chinese trigger examples:
- `给这篇论文生成深度笔记`
- `写一篇高质量论文精读笔记`
- `把这篇文章整理成 obsidian 笔记`
- `读这篇论文并生成 md 笔记`

English trigger examples:
- `Generate a deep-reading note for this paper`
- `Turn this paper into an Obsidian research note`

## User Configuration

Before a normal paper run, read `references/user-configuration.md` for configuration admission, migration, repair, Run Overrides, and Preference Changes.

Resolve Run Overrides from the explicit request, CLI, and current process environment first. When they form a complete valid configuration for the selected Save Mode, Configuration Readiness is complete without reading User Configuration. Only inspect User Configuration when those Run Overrides need fallback values.

## Language Integrity Contract

After Configuration Readiness, resolve one `output_language` (`zh-CN` or `en`) for the run. `source_manifest.language_hint` describes source text only and never selects the note profile.

Bind that exact value through Save Target Admission → Figure Plan → Figure/Table Decisions → Synthesis Bundle → Note Plan → Grounding Lint → Final Note Lint → Final Quality Review → Final Readability Review → Formal Save:

- Every JSON artifact in the chain carries a top-level `output_language`; the Synthesis Bundle also carries the same value at `writing_contract.language`.
- Before producing its output, every adjacent consumer requires each input language and compares it with the resolved value. Missing, unsupported, or mismatched values stop the run; no stage infers or defaults an artifact language.
- Final Quality Review and Final Readability Review each receive the resolved value and check the note against only that profile.
- Final Note Lint records `note_sha256`. Any review edit invalidates the prior lint, so rerun Final Note Lint under the same language. Formal Save requires the lint language and `note_sha256` to match the final note, and validates Figure/Table Decisions language before any save side effect.

This contract is complete only when every named stage is bound to the resolved value and Formal Save validates the final bytes. Read `references/output-language.md` for profile content while drafting or debugging either language.

This skill is intentionally narrow:
- it is one canonical Skill and one pipeline with two output profiles
- it handles one paper at a time
