Individual skill
discover
Build a ranked shortlist of candidate papers (anchor-driven, topic-driven, or derived from current wiki state) that the user — or an upstream skill — may decide to feed into `/ingest`. Use whenever the user asks "what should I read next", "find papers similar to this one", "recommend related work", "what's around this topic", or whenever `/ingest` is invoked with `--discover`. Does not ingest; only proposes.

# /discover
> Produce a ranked shortlist of paper candidates from one of four seed modes. Surface them to the user (or to the calling skill) with rationales. Never auto-ingest — `/discover` is a proposal stage, `/ingest` is the action stage.
Use these local references on demand:
- `references/seed-modes.md` — when to pick anchor / topic / wiki / venue mode and how to translate the user's phrasing into one
- `references/ranking-signals.md` — what `tools/discover.py` scores on and why discovery does **not** share `/init`'s survey preference
- `references/wiki-dedup.md` — how candidates are filtered against `wiki/papers/` and what to do with matches
## Inputs
- `--anchor <id>` (repeatable): one or more anchor paper IDs (arXiv IDs preferred; S2 paperIds also accepted). Drives the **anchor mode** — the primary use case, including the post-`/ingest` "what to read next" flow.
- `--negative <id>` (repeatable, optional): IDs to push recommendations away from. Only meaningful with `--anchor`.
