What it does

Literature Reader is an agent skill from wpsnote/wpsnote-skills. 阅读、分析并总结学术文献(PDF论文),生成结构化的文献概要笔记。核心能力:论文元信息提取、研究问题识别、方法论梳理、实验结果分析、个人评价生成,以及多篇文献横向对比。支持中英文论文、单篇精读与批量文献综述。当用户提供 PDF 论文文件、要求阅读文献、总结论文、文献综述、论文概要、论文精读、paper summary、paper review、读论文、读 paper、帮我看看这篇论文、分析这篇文章、这篇论文讲了什么、论文的方法是什么、帮我做文献笔记、批量读论文、对比这几篇论文时使用此 skill。处理 .pdf 格式文件。

Its SKILL.md is about 790 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/extract_pdf.py`). Compatibility notes: 需要 macOS 或 Linux 环境。Cursor 内置 Read 工具可直接读取 PDF,大多数场景无需额外依赖。当 Read 工具无法正常处理 PDF 时,备选方案需 Python 3 和 pdfplumber 库,详见 references/pdf-extract.md。

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PDF and Peer review.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve PDF
  • Tasks that involve Peer review

Example prompts

  • “/literature-reader”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): 需要 macOS 或 Linux 环境。Cursor 内置 Read 工具可直接读取 PDF,大多数场景无需额外依赖。当 Read 工具无法正常处理 PDF 时,备选方案需 Python 3 和 pdfplumber 库,详见 references/pdf-extract.md。

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. 获取 PDF 内容
  2. 内容分析
  3. 生成文献概要
  4. 质量检查

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d9885d. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pip3
    • python3

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip3, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    需要 macOS 或 Linux 环境。Cursor 内置 Read 工具可直接读取 PDF,大多数场景无需额外依赖。当 Read 工具无法正常处理 PDF 时,备选方案需 Python 3 和 pdfplumber 库,详见 references/pdf-extract.md。

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Literature Reader loads about 793 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~793

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 206 words (~793 tokens).
