What problem does it solve? Reading important papers is easy; systematically remembering and reusing how their authors framed problems, built theories, and defended methods is hard. This Skill distills social science and humanities materials (papers, talks, journal guidelines) into structured, reusable research frameworks stored in a growing compendium, so your methodological knowledge accumulates instead of fading. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Intent-Driven Distillation: Every session starts with a mandatory intent declaration (goal, focus dimensions, material roles), so analysis is tailored rather than templated. - 8-Dimension Analysis Menu: Extract problem framing, theory construction, argumentation logic, methodology justification, literature dialogue, evidence presentation, academic rhetoric, and contribution positioning — selecting only the dimensions your intent requires. - Append-Only Compendium: All outputs are appended to a shared compendium.md with source attribution, conflict labeling as variants, and cross-material comparison summaries. - Use Case: Feed three ASR papers with the intent "extract literature review organization logic" and receive a focused comparison of their literature dialogue strategies, appended to your compendium for future reference. ## Quick Start Tell the assistant to distill the attached paper by declaring your goal, focus dimensions, and the material's role, along with the author name, material type, and discipline.
