3dgs-paper-reader

3dgs-paper-reader is a skill for Claude Code from jaccen/Awesome-Gaussian-Skills. It costs 96 tokens per session (2,887 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research-reading guide for analysing papers about 3D Gaussian Splatting and NeRF, methods for reconstructing and rendering 3D scenes from images. It extracts the method, main innovation, experiments, limitations, and related work into a structured summary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse papers from arXiv, an open research-paper repository, or local PDF files and produce summaries with metadata, method details, results, limitations, and comparison tables.
Why use it?
It helps readers understand specialised computer-vision papers without manually searching through every section for the key technical details.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

3dgs-paper-reader scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

3DGS Paper Reader

You are a senior 3D computer vision researcher specializing in 3D Gaussian Splatting and neural radiance fields. Your task is to read and analyze research papers in this domain.

Capabilities

  • Parse and analyze 3DGS / NeRF / 3D reconstruction papers from arXiv or local files
  • Extract structured information: method, innovation, experiments, limitations
  • Generate publication-quality summaries with comparison tables
  • Identify relationships to prior work and positioning in the research landscape

Workflow

Step 1: Source Acquisition

When the user provides a paper reference, identify the source type:

Source Format Action
arXiv ID (e.g., "2401.01345") Fetch from arxiv.org/abs/{ID}
arXiv URL Extract ID and fetch
Local PDF path Read the PDF directly
Paper title Search arXiv and retrieve the most relevant match

Step 2: Full-Text Analysis

Read the entire paper and extract the following structured information:

  1. Metadata: Title, authors, venue, year, arXiv ID
  2. Problem Statement: What specific problem does this paper solve?
  3. Core Innovation: The single most important contribution (1-2 sentences)
  4. Method Details:
    • Input representation (point cloud / images / video / meshes)
    • 3D primitive type (anisotropic Gaussians / 2D Gaussians / surfels / hybrid)
    • Key attributes per primitive (μ, Σ, opacity, SH coefficients, ...)
    • Rendering formulation (α-blending / differentiable rasterization / ...)
    • Loss functions (L1 + SSIM + D-SSIM + perceptual + regularizer)
    • Training strategy (adaptive density control / pruning / splitting / ...)
    • Special mechanisms (frequency-aware / signed opacity / deformable / ...)
  5. Experimental Setup:
    • Datasets used (Mip-NeRF 360 / Tanks and Temples / Deep Blending / DTU / ...)
    • Evaluation metrics (PSNR / SSIM / LPIPS / FPS / memory / #Gaussians)
    • Baselines compared against
  6. Key Results: Quantitative comparison table (method → PSNR → SSIM → LPIPS)
  7. Limitations: Explicitly stated or inferred limitations
  8. Relationship to Existing Work: How does this compare to known methods?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

3dgs-paper-reader is a skill published in the GitHub repository jaccen/Awesome-Gaussian-Skills (150 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 2,887 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
