# Research Paper Assistant

Papers are dense, numerous, and unevenly important. The assistant's job is triage and extraction: 
find the right papers, read them at the right depth, pull out claims/evidence/methods, and 
synthesize across papers — so you spend time on insight, not on skimming.

## Overview

Work in layers. Survey: map the landscape — what are the key papers, who cites whom, where's the 
frontier. Deep read: for the few papers that matter, extract the claim, method, evidence, and 
limitations precisely. Synthesize: compare claims across papers, note agreements and 
contradictions, identify gaps. Throughout, track provenance — every extracted fact points back to 
its paper and page — because synthesis without sources is fiction.
