Development community

Two Claude Code skills for reading one academic paper: /paper-review (journal-club appraisal, deterministic GRADE + CrossRef gate) and /paper-digest (fast content absorption).

How to install Paper Review And Digest

What Paper Review And Digest does

Two Claude Code skills for reading one academic paper: /paper-review (journal-club appraisal, deterministic GRADE + CrossRef gate) and /paper-digest (fast content absorption). Reading end of a pipeline: pair with paper-radar (discovery) and paper-fetch (full-text download).

README

paper-review + paper-digest

Two [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) skills for reading a single academic paper *properly* — one appraises whether it can be trusted, the other absorbs what it says. Built by a practising physician for real journal-club and clinical use, then generalized for sharing.

🔭 **Discovery** [paper-radar](https://github.com/drpwchen/paper-radar) ｜ ⬇️ **Download** [paper-fetch](https://github.com/drpwchen/paper-fetch) ｜ 📖 **Reading** paper-review-and-digest — a literature radar finds and ranks papers, a route-ladder fetcher gets their full text, and these skills appraise and digest them; together the three repos form the full paper pipeline.

What this is

Reading a paper well is really two different jobs, and good readers keep them separate:

Skill	Answers	What it does
`/paper-review`	Can I trust this? Is it done well?	Journal-club-grade appraisal: journal credibility, author track record, reference verification with a live CrossRef existence gate, design-routed risk-of-bias, spin / argument-structure audit, deterministic GRADE, citation-impact analysis.
`/paper-digest`	What does it say? How do I absorb it fastest?	A teaching-style content digest in three progressive-disclosure layers, structure routed by paper type, ending in active-recall self-test cards. Hard-stops without full text (no abstract-only fake digests).

They are independent and can both run on one paper.

**Part of a pipeline.** These skills are the *reading* end. The *discovery* end — a personal literature radar that pulls dozens of journal feeds + PubMed searches, ranks them by your interest model, and hands the picks off for appraisal/digest — is [**paper-radar**](https://github.com/drpwchen/paper-radar). paper-radar's `/paper-sync` dispatches a picked paper straight into `/paper-review` (🔬 quality) or `/paper-digest` (📚 content).
