At a glance

Read, decompose, and analyze IEEE-style papers using routed technical-reading workflows.

  • Works in 7 steps: Read manifest.yaml. → Read every file listed under always_load. → Detect the axes → …
  • Extracting problem setting
  • SKILL.md covers Routing Protocol, Output Contract and Red Lines
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ieee Paper Reader is an agent skill from CloudWave818/ieee-skills. Read, decompose, and analyze IEEE-style papers using routed technical-reading workflows. Use when extracting problem setting, object-method-condition logic, contributions, method pipeline, equations, datasets, baselines, metrics, ablations, limitations, replication details, citation role, related-work positioning, implementation notes, or reviewer-style assessment from a paper, PDF, abstract, or manuscript excerpt.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 45 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `manifest.yaml` and `static/core/output-format.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Literature review, Citation management and Positioning and messaging. The repository describes itself as: 面向 IEEE 风格论文写作、润色、审稿、实验、图表、LaTeX、引用和论文阅读的 Codex skills。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Extracting problem setting
  • Object-method-condition logic
  • Method pipeline
  • Replication details

Example prompts

  • “/ieee-paper-reader”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read manifest.yaml.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load.
  3. Detect the axes
  4. State the detected axes in one short line.
  5. Load only the matching fragments.
  6. Extract a source-bounded fact base before analysis.
  7. Mark missing information when the input is partial.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ee30fda. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ieee Paper Reader loads about 591 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 192 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~591

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

IEEE Paper Reader Router

Use this skill to turn an IEEE paper into a structured technical brief. Focus on contribution logic, method mechanics, evidence, and reuse value.

Do not provide only a generic summary. Follow the routing protocol and load the selected fragments.

Routing Protocol

  1. Read manifest.yaml.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load.
  3. Detect the axes:
    • reading_purpose: literature-review / implementation / replication / reviewer-assessment / citation-positioning / quick-summary.
    • input_scope: full-paper / abstract-only / introduction-related-work / method-only / experiments-only / figures-tables / excerpt.
    • paper_type: algorithmic / system / hardware / control / communications / signal-processing / survey / general.
    • extraction_focus: contribution / method-pipeline / equations / experiments / limitations / reproducibility / related-work.
    • output_depth: brief / standard / deep.
  4. State the detected axes in one short line.
  5. Load only the matching fragments.
  6. Extract a source-bounded fact base before analysis.
  7. Mark missing information when the input is partial.

Output Contract

Default:

text
Detected axes: reading_purpose=..., input_scope=..., paper_type=..., extraction_focus=..., output_depth=...

Paper kernel
- Object:
- Method:
- Condition:
- Prior limitation:
- Main contribution:
- Evidence:

Structured notes
[purpose-specific output]

Limitations / missing information
- ...

For implementation or replication, include a checklist of missing details.

For citation positioning, include how the paper should and should not be cited.

Red Lines

Do not invent paper content, equations, results, datasets, or limitations not present in the supplied material.

Do not overquote source text. Summarize and paraphrase.

If the input is only an abstract or excerpt, keep the assessment bounded.
