Paper Context Resolver

paper-context-resolver

When to apply

• README and repo files leave a reproduction-critical gap.
• The gap concerns dataset version, split, preprocessing, evaluation protocol, checkpoint mapping, or runtime assumptions.
• The main skill needs a narrow evidence supplement instead of a full paper summary.
• There is already a concrete reproduction question to answer.

When not to apply

• The README already gives enough reproduction detail.
• The user wants a general paper explanation rather than reproduction support.
• The goal is to override README instructions without documenting the conflict.
• The only available input is a paper title and there is no concrete reproduction gap yet.

Clear boundaries

• This skill is optional.
• This skill is helper-tier and should usually be orchestrator-invoked.
• It supplements README-first reproduction.
• It does not replace the main orchestration flow.
• It does not summarize the whole paper by default.

Input expectations

• target repo metadata
• reproduction-critical question
• existing README or repo evidence
• any already known paper links

Output expectations

• narrowed source list
• reproduction-relevant answer only
• explicit README-paper conflict note when applicable
• clear distinction between direct evidence and inference
