1Read Arxiv PaperRead Arxiv Paper is a karpathy/nanochat agent skill that gives solo builders and ML-curious indies a repeatable way to ingest research without manually downloading PDFs. You pass an arXiv abstract URL; the agent rewrites it to the /src/ endpoint, stores the tarball in a nanochat cache path, unpacks it, locates main.tex (or equivalent), recursively reads included files, and emits a structured summary into ./knowledge/summary_{tag}.md with a fresh tag per paper. The workflow assumes filesystem and network access and favors TeX for faithful equation and section structure. It is phase-specific for deep dives but multi-phase in practice: Idea for surveying papers, Validate for proving a technique applies, and Build when implementing ideas from literature. Intermediate complexity—comfort with cache dirs and LaTeX tree navigation helps. It complements generic “summarize this PDF” chat by encoding nanochat’s paths and idempotent download behavior.1.9kinstalls
