bilingual-paper-reader

bilingual-paper-reader is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Nero1688/claude-academic-skills. It costs 389 tokens per session (2,709 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reading tool for translating an English research-paper PDF into Chinese paragraph by paragraph, with color labels for claims, innovations, methods, limits, and quotable sentences. It uses a reusable offline HTML reader and stores highlights in the browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study one English paper, translate its sections, mark important points, add browser-based notes, and export those notes as Markdown.
Why use it?
It makes difficult papers easier to read side by side while keeping terminology and numerical details consistent. It also warns about scanned PDFs that need text recognition first.

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

bilingual-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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/pdf_to_paper.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

雙欄論文閱讀器(Bilingual Paper Reader)

這個 skill 實際上是什麼(先講清楚,避免誤解)

  • 閱讀器是一支、論文是資料檔。 reader.html 可重複使用,任何論文轉成 JSON 都用它開。
  • 翻譯與預先標記需要你(Claude)在場。 閱讀器本身是靜態 HTML,沒有 LLM, 無法自己翻譯。每篇論文要開一次 session 讓你翻。
  • 標記存在瀏覽器 localStorage,清除瀏覽器資料會一併清掉—— 重要筆記務必用「匯出筆記」存成 Markdown 備份。這點要主動告訴使用者。
  • 掃描版 PDF(無文字層)抽不到文字,需先 OCR。工具會明確報錯,不會產出空檔。

與同族 skill 分工

需求 該用
一批文獻的橫向比較(建庫、矩陣、APA7、DOI) literature-matrix-builder
規模化文字量化(財報語調、主題模型、LLM 標註) text-analytics-architect
單篇方法論逆向、找研究缺口、系統性回顧 phd-researcher
單篇論文的雙語精讀與重點標記 本 skill

精讀完的判斷(核心主張/創新點/弱點)可回填進 literature-matrix-builder 的綜整欄——兩支是天然接力。Claude Code 環境呼叫同族技能須加 anthropic-skills: 前綴。

工作流程

Step 1|PDF → 論文資料檔

python scripts/pdf_to_paper.py paper.pdf -o paper.json --title "論文標題"

會逐頁抽取並切段,每段記錄起始頁(page 欄,是 PDF 的頁序,不等於紙本印刷頁碼); 剔除跨頁重複的頁首頁尾、把被換頁切斷的段落接回,並標出不需翻譯的段落: 圖說(skip: caption)與疑似表格(skip: likely_table)。 若報錯說抽不到文字,代表是掃描版 PDF,請使用者先 OCR。 腳本結尾會列出剔除了哪些頁首頁尾、丟棄了多少短片段、有幾段圖說; 這幾行要看過再往下做,異常時可加 --no-strip-repeated 或調低 --min-chars 重轉。

Step 2|先建術語對照表

翻譯前先掃一遍全文,把反覆出現的關鍵術語列進 JSON 的 glossary。 這一步不能跳過——術語不一致是學術翻譯最常見也最傷的錯誤。 規範見 references/translation-discipline.md。

Step 3|逐段翻譯

填每段的 trans。紀律見 references/translation-discipline.md,重點:

  • 一段對一段,不合併不拆分
  • skip 有值的段落(圖說、疑似表格)不翻、不標色,trans 留空;但要在「處理狀態」如實計數
  • 人名/期刊名/統計符號/變數名不翻
  • 數字、係數、p 值原樣照抄(數字零容忍)
  • 因果強度用詞不可弱化或加強(suggests ≠ 證明)
  • 看不懂就標「原文語意不明確,暫譯為…」,不要硬翻出通順的錯譯

翻譯量要先講:全文常有 50–120 段。先問使用者要全翻還是先翻 摘要/引言貢獻段/方法/結論這四塊,不要默默決定。

Step 4|五色預先標記

填每段的 marks。分類判準與位移算法見 references/highlight-taxonomy.md。 寧少勿濫——每段都標等於沒標。

Step 5|交付與判斷

告訴使用者怎麼開,並附上你的判斷(比標記更有價值):

## 這篇的關鍵判斷
- 核心主張:〔一句話〕
- 最創新之處:〔一句話;貢獻宣稱不明確就直說〕
- 最大弱點:〔區分作者自承 vs 你讀出來的〕
- 與你研究的關聯:〔一句話〕

輸出格式

# 精讀:〔論文標題〕

## 處理狀態
- 段落 N 段,涵蓋原文第 1–P 頁(P 取自 JSON 的 page_count 或最大的 page;沒有頁碼就寫「無頁碼」)
- 實際讀過:第 a–b 頁;章節〔章節名稱〕(只填你確實逐段讀過、翻過或判斷過的頁與章節)
- 未讀:第 c–d 頁;章節〔章節名稱〕(沒有未讀的就寫「無」)
- 跳過:圖說 X 段、表格 Y 段(未翻譯,圖表內容請使用者對照原文)
- 已翻譯:〔全文/指定章節〕
- 預先標記:核心 a、創新 b、方法 c、限制 d、金句 e

## 這篇的關鍵判斷
〔如上四點〕

## 怎麼開
1. 用瀏覽器開啟 scripts/reader.html
2. 把 〔paper.json 路徑〕 拖進去(每段標題旁的 p.N 是該段的起始頁)
3. 選取文字可自己畫螢光筆;按「匯出筆記」存成 Markdown(每筆帶段落編號與頁碼)

## 提醒
- 標記存在瀏覽器 localStorage,清除瀏覽器資料會消失,重要筆記請匯出備份
- 〔翻譯中標為語意不明確的段落,請對照原文第 N 頁確認;N 依該段的 page 欄填寫。
  page 欄缺漏或為 null 時改寫段落編號 ¶i,並說明這份資料沒有頁碼〕
- page 是 PDF 的頁序,不是紙本印刷頁碼,兩者可能差好幾頁;使用者翻紙本時要先說明

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.
