Description
nature-reader is an agent skill that creates source-grounded Chinese-English readers of a paper, with aligned text, figures, tables and equations. It is for full-paper translation, side-by-side reading and close reading of a paper, and for questions that must be answered with links to the source. The skill distinguishes three requests. Creating a reader is a full-artifact job. A source-linked question should be answered by inspecting only the relevant source material and reusing existing source-map identifiers, without regenerating the reader. An explicit excerpt request applies the extraction, translation and grounding rules to that excerpt. The skill is a router that loads its core principles, the reading workflow, the output contract and a shared terminology ledger for recurring terms. Use it when you want a paper rendered in both languages with its figures and tables, or when you need an answer that points back to the exact passage. It is part of the yuan1z0825/nature-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 48,400 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 14,000 installs.…
