What problem does it solve? Reading and translating academic papers across PDF, DOI, arXiv, HTML, or pasted text often loses figure placement, equation rendering, and source traceability. This Skill produces a full-paper Chinese-English side-by-side Markdown reader where every paragraph, figure, table, and equation links back to its exact page and block location. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full-paper bilingual reader: Generates paragraph-level Original/中文 pairs in paper.md with stable source anchors, never degrading to a summary-only output. - Figure, table, and equation handling: Crops figures and tables into assets/ near their first substantive mention, renders display equations as Markdown math with E... anchors, and falls back to original image crops for low-confidence or scanned formulas. - Source map and validation: Produces source_map.json and translation_notes.md for traceability, plus a deterministic script that validates equation delimiters, anchors, and source-map linkage. - Use Case: Provide a DOI for a conference paper and receive a complete bilingual Markdown reader with figures placed near the relevant prose, rendered equations, and a source map for citation-grounded follow-up questions. ## Quick Start Use nature-reader to turn this paper PDF into a full Chinese-English side-by-side Markdown reader with figures, rendered equations, and a source map.
