Paper digest
Produce a content/knowledge digest of ONE paper for fast absorption of its full content — not a quality critique. Use when the user wants to "整理內容", "快速吸收", "知識整理", "內容平讀", or when /paper-sync dispatches a 📚內容 pick. The digest reorganizes the paper's full text into a teaching-style structured note (structure routed by paper type) plus self-test review cards pushed to the 複習頁 (configured `review_site.url`). REQUIRES full text: no full text → STOP and report 缺全文, never produce an abstract-only digest. NOT a critical appraisal (that is /paper-review) and NOT a multi-paper synthesis.From its SKILL.md

Paper Digest — 單篇論文內容整理(快速吸收)
What this is (and is NOT)
/paper-review answers 「這篇可不可信、做得好不好」. /paper-digest answers
「這篇講了什麼、我怎麼最快把全部內容吸收進腦袋」. It is for papers read as content / knowledge
material(綜論、技術介紹、機制整理、指引). The two are independent and can both run on one paper
(combined note). A digest additionally feeds the 複習迴圈: it generates self-test cards that go to
the review web page so learning doesn't end at "note written".
Tone, language, and clinical framing are driven by ${persona} (see Configuration). Follow vault
note rules (Tab indent, > [!type] callouts, ${persona.highlight_style} for cut-offs, no code
blocks for clinical content).
Configuration (read FIRST, every run)
Read config.yaml in the sibling paper-review/ skill directory (shared config; copy
config.example.yaml → config.yaml on first setup). Keys this skill uses:
${vault.papers_dir}, ${vault.medicine_dir}, ${vault.inbox_note}, ${vault.daily_section},
${review_site.url}, ${review_site.push_script}, ${persona}. Substitute every ${...} with the
config value; a blank value means "skip that route" (e.g. empty review_site.push_script → no card push).
Input
DOI / PMID / title / PDF path / pasted full text. Optional flags:
--into <note path>— instead of creating a standalone note, prepend the digest as a## 內容整理(快速吸收)section into an existing note (used by /paper-sync when both 🔬+📚 picked, so content sits above the appraisal in one file).--no-cards— skip review-card generation/push (default is to generate).
Phase 0 — Full text is MANDATORY (hard gate)
Acquire full text per the shared protocol ~/.claude/skills/paper-review/fulltext-acquisition.md
(user-provided → ${fulltext.inbox_dir} → Zotero → OA auto-fetch → Elsevier TDM → institutional SFX resolver).
If no route yields full text → STOP. Do NOT write an abstract-only digest. Report:
缺全文:{title} — 需要 PDF 才能做內容整理. When called from /paper-sync this routes to the 缺全文 handoff
(logged to ${vault.inbox_note} # 缺全文待補; user supplies PDF then says「繼續」). Abstract-only is
exactly the over-simplification this skill exists to avoid.
Phase 1 — Build the digest(三層漸進揭露)
Goal: a reader can absorb all the substantive content without opening the PDF. Reorganize, don't transcribe. Every digest has THREE layers (user's Esor 三層筆記法):
- 30 秒層 —
> [!summary] 一句話 + 重點callout (between frontmatter and first heading): one-line takeaway + 3–5 bullets of the highest-value facts (mechanisms, numbers, conclusions). End the callout with one quality pointer line:品質未評讀(內容整理);需可信度判斷 → /paper-review— or, if a 品質快照 already exists in the combined note,品質 → 見上方品質快照. - 5 分鐘層 — each
##section OPENS with a one-line**要點**:…bold summary before its bullets, so scanning only the 要點 lines reconstructs the paper. - 完整層 — the full structured bullets/tables below each 要點.
Section structure — ROUTED BY PAPER TYPE (pick one, don't force-fit)
A. Empirical study(RCT / 觀察性 / diagnostic…) — default:
## 研究問題 / 背景— gap, why it matters, key prior context.## 方法— design, population, intervention, measures — concise, only what's needed to read the findings (deep methods scrutiny belongs to /paper-review).## 主要發現— the core. Tabulate numeric results (effect sizes, ==cut-offs==, CIs, p). One row per finding. Pull the actual numbers out of the text.## 臨床意義 / 怎麼用— so-what for a PMR clinician / teachable points.
B. Narrative review / 機制整理 — concept-map style:
## 全文地圖— how the author carves the topic into sections; one line per block.## 各主題重點— one###per theme: core claims, key numbers, the studies it leans on.## 機轉白話講解— for the hardest mechanism(s), a Feynman-style plain-Chinese walkthrough (analogy allowed); anything beyond the paper's own content marked⚠️ 補充. Written to be reusable when teaching residents.## 臨床意義 / 怎麼用
C. Guideline / consensus:
## 建議條文表— table: recommendation / 強度 / 證據等級 / 適用族群, one row per recommendation.## 與前版或他版差異— what changed vs the previous edition or competing guideline (if stated).## 實務落地— how it maps to the user's practice setting.
D. 技術 / 方法學論文:
## 這個技術是什麼 / 解決什麼問題## Step-by-step protocol— restated so it could be followed without the PDF.## 適用時機與限制— when to reach for it, failure modes, alternatives.
Sections common to ALL types
## 重要圖表重述— restate what each key figure/table shows in words. If a figure is essential, flag it for/figure-remaprather than embedding blindly.## 與既有認知的對照— runvault_searchon the note's core concepts; where an existing${vault.medicine_dir}/${vault.papers_dir}note says something this paper updates, refines, or contradicts, list舊認知([[note]])→ 本篇. This is the knowledge-delta layer — also the candidate list for a later/note-supplement. Nothing to compare → one line「vault 無相關既有筆記」, don't pad.## 概念 / 名詞整理— teaching layer: define and connect the concepts/terms a learner needs. Link related vault notes[[NoteName]].## 自我測驗— see Phase 2.## Reference— the paper itself (`Author 2026, Journal`+ doi); pivotal citations it leans on.
Citation discipline: every claim in the digest comes from THIS paper's full text. Outside context added
to explain a concept → mark ⚠️ 補充.
Phase 2 — Self-test cards(主動回憶層)
The user's known failure mode is over-organizing and under-recalling — the digest must end with retrieval practice, not just structure.
- Write
## 自我測驗in the note: 3–5 questions as folded callouts —
Question quality bar: answerable from this paper alone; tests understanding ("為什麼選 X 而不是 Y", "什麼情況下這結論不適用") over recall of trivia; one question may target the paper's single most exam/practice-relevant number.> [!question]- Q1:{題目——偏臨床決策/機轉理解,不是背數字} > {答案,2-4 行,含關鍵數值與理由} - Push to the 學習中樞 (unless
--no-cardsOR${review_site.push_script}is blank): write the cards to a JSON file in the scratchpad —[{"citekey","note","title","question","answer","tags":["topic",...],"deck":"論文","source":"paper"}, ...](note= vault filename without .md;title= 中文短標;deck固定"論文"、source固定"paper") — then:
The push script is idempotent (card_id = citekey + question hash, INSERT OR IGNORE) and prints the pushed count. Report:「已推 N 張複習卡 → ${review_site.url}」. Push failure (or blank push_script) → note still stands; report it and leave the JSON path for a manual retry — never block the digest on the card push.python ${review_site.push_script} <cards.json>
Output
- Standalone (default): write
${vault.papers_dir}{中文短標}.md. Frontmattertags: [research/digest, …topic],citekey,doi,aliasesfor the English title if useful. Return the note filename to the caller. --into <path>: insert the## 內容整理(快速吸收)section (the body above, minus its own frontmatter) directly after the target note's> [!summary]callout / before its first appraisal heading, so content reads first and the /paper-review appraisal follows. Cards still get pushed.- One line to today's daily note
${vault.daily_section}is handled by /paper-sync (don't double-write when called from it). Standalone manual runs: add the daily-note line yourself.
Notes
- This is a new-note creation task → normally show a draft for review. Exception when invoked by /paper-sync: write directly (the user already opted in by pressing 📚 and confirming the batch).
- Heavy (full-text + synthesis). Run on a capable model; for a /paper-sync batch, one subagent per paper.
- Don't duplicate
/paper-review's appraisal. If the user really wants both, that's the combined note — keep the digest descriptive and leave judgement to the appraisal section.
Self-Check (before finalizing)
- 結構用對 paper type(A/B/C/D),沒有硬套 empirical 模板
- 三層齊:summary callout(含品質指標一行)/ 每節 要點 行 / 完整內容
- 主要發現有實際數值(不是「有顯著差異」)
-
## 與既有認知的對照跑過 vault_search(或標明無相關筆記) -
## 自我測驗3-5 題、folded callout、偏理解型 - 複習卡已推(或回報失敗 + JSON 路徑)
