literature-close-read

separate

Produce a structured close-reading report from a paper's full PDF-to-Markdown text (with `## Page XX` pagination and image references) when you need to systematically extract background, research questions, methods, results, limitations, and reproducible experimental details.

When to use

• When you have a full paper converted from PDF to Markdown and need a structured, in-depth interpretation rather than a brief abstract-style summary.
• When you must extract reproducible experimental details (datasets, settings, controls, metrics, statistics) for replication or reimplementation.
• When you need to map the paper's logical chain (motivation → problem → method → experiments → conclusions) and identify missing links or ambiguities.
• When you want a systematic list of limitations, threats to validity, and follow-up research questions grounded strictly in the text.
• When figures/tables are referenced via Markdown images and you need them incorporated into the interpretation without guessing beyond what is shown.

When not to use

• Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
• Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
• Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.
