ljg-paper-flow

Paper workflow: read papers + cast cards in one go. Takes one or more arxiv links, paper URLs, PDFs, or paper names. For each paper, runs ljg-paper (generates org analysis) then ljg-card -v (generates visual sketchnote PNG). Use when user says '论文流', 'paper flow', '读论文并做卡片', '论文卡片', or provides multiple papers wanting both analysis and cards.

About ljg-paper-flow

The ljg-paper-flow skill is designed to streamline the academic paper review and note-taking process by integrating paper analysis and visual summary generation into a single workflow. Users can provide one or more sources, including arXiv links, PDF files, or paper titles, and the skill automatically processes each paper to produce both an organized textual analysis and a visual sketchnote in PNG format. This eliminates the need for manual reading and separate note-taking, saving researchers and students significant time and effort while ensuring consistency in the generated outputs.

Key features of ljg-paper-flow include automated sequential processing of each paper through two main stages: reading and analysis via ljg-paper, and visual card creation via ljg-card. Multiple papers can be handled in parallel, but the reading and card generation for each paper occurs sequentially to maintain coherence between the analysis and the visual representation. Users can also customize the style of the generated card, choosing between visual notes, long-form cards, infographics, or comic-style cards. After processing, the skill provides a summary report that lists each paper alongside its analysis and generated card, making it easy to review multiple documents at a glance.

This skill is particularly useful for researchers, students, and professionals who regularly read academic papers and need quick, organized, and visually appealing summaries. It is ideal for situations where multiple papers must be reviewed simultaneously or where visual note-taking enhances comprehension and retention. By combining textual analysis and visual summarization in one streamlined workflow, ljg-paper-flow caters to users who want to efficiently digest research content and generate ready-to-use study or presentation materials.

FAQ

How do I provide papers to ljg-paper-flow?

You can provide papers using arXiv URLs, direct PDF paths, or the paper's title in the conversation. The skill automatically extracts and processes each source.

Can I customize the style of the generated cards?

Yes. By default, ljg-paper-flow generates visual sketchnotes, but you can use the '-l' parameter for long-form cards, '-i' for infographics, or '-c' for comic-style cards.

Does the skill process multiple papers at once?

Yes, multiple papers are processed in parallel. However, the analysis and card generation for each individual paper are done sequentially to maintain consistency.

Do I need to follow the seven-step Algorithm workflow?

No. ljg-paper-flow runs in native mode using a direct skill pipeline, so it bypasses the standard Algorithm steps like OBSERVE, THINK, PLAN, BUILD, EXECUTE, VERIFY, and LEARN.

Are there any limitations on the content of the cards?

The cards are generated from the analysis files produced by ljg-paper, not from the original papers. Therefore, the quality and content adhere to ljg-paper and ljg-card standards.
