Cross-Agent Compatibility

This file is generated from the existing Claude Paper Skill. Its workflow and output requirements are unchanged; only equivalent host metadata, the plugin-root variable, and cross-skill invocation are adapted.

Resolve CLAUDE_PAPER_PLUGIN_ROOT to the absolute plugin/ directory in this package before each shell invocation. From this SKILL.md, that directory is ../../../plugin. Treat every ${CLAUDE_PAPER_PLUGIN_ROOT} reference below as that resolved absolute directory. Do not substitute the current workspace root.

When this workflow asks to launch the viewer, load and follow the claude-paper-webui skill.

Quick Paper Summary Workflow

This skill generates a concise summary of a research paper's core ideas and key points.

When to use:

• You want to quickly understand what a paper is about
• You need the main contributions without deep technical details
• You're screening papers to decide which to study in depth

When NOT to use:

• You want comprehensive study materials (use claude-paper-study skill instead)
• You need code demonstrations
• You want interactive visualizations

---

Language Detection: Detect the user's language from their input and generate ALL materials in that language.

• Example: User says "我们学习一下这篇论文" → Generate materials in Chinese
• Example: User says "Let's study this paper" → Generate materials in English

Step 0: Check Dependencies (First Run Only)

if [ ! -f "${CLAUDE_PAPER_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.installed" ]; then
  echo "First run - installing dependencies..."
  cd "${CLAUDE_PAPER_PLUGIN_ROOT}"
  npm install || exit 1

  # Install Python dependencies for image extraction
  python3 -m pip install pymupdf --user 2>/dev/null || pip3 install pymupdf --user 2>/dev/null || echo "Warning: Failed to install pymupdf"

  touch "${CLAUDE_PAPER_PLUGIN_ROOT}/.installed"
  echo "Dependencies installed!"
fi
