1Read Arxiv PaperThe read-arxiv-paper skill ingests arXiv papers for the nanochat repository by fetching TeX source instead of PDF. Given an abs URL like https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2601.07372, normalize to https://www.arxiv.org/src/{id}, download to ~/.cache/nanochat/knowledge/{arxiv_id}.tar.gz skipping re-download if cached, then unpack into the matching folder. Locate the LaTeX entrypoint such as main.tex and recursively read included sources to understand the paper. After reading, produce a summary markdown at ./knowledge/summary_{tag}.md in the project workspace using a descriptive tag like conditional_memory, ensuring the tag does not overwrite existing files. Summaries should connect findings to nanochat by reading related repository code and stating how lessons might apply or inspire experiments within nanochat. The workflow is optimized for agent consumption of primary sources rather than PDF extraction, keeping cache under home and summaries in the local knowledge directory for easy human review.2.4kinstalls
