Paper DeepRead Comic Studio

Deep-read research papers into authoritative, reproducible teaching reports, then turn them into source-grounded multi-image cartoon-comic storyboard workflows with camera/style/logic continuity and final image-PDF assembly guidance. Use when users need rigorous paper understanding plus presentation-ready visual explanations without mixing report generation and image generation in one turn.

Paper DeepRead Comic Studio（论文精读漫画工坊）

Use this source bundle inside a ChatGPT Project when the goal is to deeply read one paper or a small paper set and turn it into graph-ready, innovation-oriented intermediate artifacts plus coherent cartoon-comic teaching storyboards.

This v1.2.0 release strengthens two hard requirements: every deep-read must be detailed enough to reproduce, defend, and teach the paper, and every multi-image cartoon prompt must preserve camera movement, style, logic, source grounding, and continuity with earlier generated images.

If the user later asks for graph mining, direction mining, or another downstream stage, pass forward the uploaded deep-read bundle from Project sources so the later stage can reuse the same evidence.

Activation and staged-output protocol

When the user invokes this skill for a paper deep read, start with a brief plan before the report. The first execution turn is text-only:

1. show the plan;
2. generate and directly display the complete authoritative deep-reading report;
3. state the current status and produced artifacts;
4. tell the user how to ask for the next visual/storyboard step.

The first execution turn must not generate images. Report generation and image generation are separate phases.

Because conversations may be stateless, every status or handoff reply must remind the user to resume with a prompt like:

text

使用这个skill，根据状态，执行第X步：<要执行的阶段>。

If the next step is continuous cartoon generation, the reminder must explicitly include:

text

使用这个skill，根据状态，执行第X步：生成多张连续的卡通图，<具体部分>。

If the user does not know the next prompt, tell them they can say:

text

使用这个skill，根据状态，告知下一步应该问什么。

Staged cartoon storyboard and PDF assembly protocol

After the complete text-only report has been delivered, the user may request separate visual steps. Each step generates one coherent part of a unified cartoon-comic storyboard. Keep style, protagonist, color palette, typography, panel numbering, camera logic, and narrative logic consistent across all visual steps.

Hard separation rules:

• Do not generate images in the same assistant response that generates the full deep-reading report.
• Do not mix long textual report generation and image generation in the same assistant response.
• Each image-generation step should focus on one storyboard section only.
• Each storyboard section should be split into multiple separate cartoon images/cards. Do not compress different paper sections, claims, or storyboard scenes into one overloaded image.
• The final PDF assembly step must not create new images; it only combines already-generated images into a paginated PDF.

Multi-image prompt contract:

• Whenever a text reply provides an image-generation prompt for continuous cartoon images, explicitly require multiple separate 16:9 images/cards, ordered by 第1张, 第2张, and so on. Each image should carry one scene, claim, or mechanism step.
• Include camera direction for the batch: establishing shot, medium shot, close-up, over-the-shoulder view, zoom-in, pan, cutaway, or transition as appropriate. The camera plan should make the sequence feel continuous rather than a set of unrelated posters.
• Include a style bible for the batch: same protagonist/narrator, line quality, color palette, typography, panel numbering, icon language, formula rendering style, and source-tag treatment.
• For later visual batches, explicitly reuse the visual bible and continuity notes from earlier generated images. If earlier images are unavailable in context, restate the last known style and ask for or infer only non-factual visual continuity, never new paper facts.
• Before writing or sending a prompt, check it against the original paper source and the prior authoritative deep-reading report. Paper-specific numbers, baselines, module names, equations, datasets, claims, figures, and limitations must be traceable to the PDF, LaTeX, or report.
• Distinguish paper-explicit, report-derived, reasonable inference, nearby-work inference, and missing / not reported in the prompt notes when a visual detail depends on evidence strength.
• If different parts of the paper need images, split them into separate batches or separate images. Do not merge background, method, experiments, limitations, and future directions into a single all-in-one picture.
• Keep visual density teachable: one main idea per image, readable labels, limited text, formula snippets only when needed, and visible uncertainty markers such as 未报告 for missing experimental details.

Default staged visual workflow:

0. Text-only deep read: plan, complete report, current status, produced artifacts, and next-step prompts. No images.
1. Background / old-method defects / paper problem / inspiration: multiple continuous cartoon images explaining why the problem matters and what previous methods miss.
2. Algorithm overview and modules: multiple continuous cartoon images explaining input construction, encoding layer, pairwise compatibility modeling, boundary-based anomaly detector, training and inference.
3. Experiment section: multiple continuous cartoon images for datasets, baseline taxonomy, metrics, results, ablations, qualitative plots, and reproducibility gaps.
4. Limitations and defense: multiple continuous cartoon images for reviewer-style concerns, overclaim guardrails, weak evidence, and defensible answers.
5. Future directions and innovation graph: multiple continuous cartoon images for hidden assumptions, new directions, next experiments, and research agenda.
6. Cover / summary / Q&A backup visuals: title cover, final recap, oral-defense backup cards as separate images.
7. Final image-PDF assembly: collect all approved storyboard images, sort them in story order, verify page count and visual order, and export one 16:9 PDF handoff.

Platform guidance for image steps:

• ChatGPT web/app: use Create image for storyboard image generation.
• Codex / Claude Code / coding-agent environments: if the imagegen skill is available, prefer it for storyboard image generation. If imagegen is unavailable or insufficient, call ChatGPT Images 2.0 API or another approved image-generation API.
• Do not use SVG diagrams as a substitute for the requested cartoon-comic storyboard images.

Storyboard source-grounding rule:

• Image/storyboard steps may be grounded in the uploaded PDF, the LaTeX source, or both.
• If a PDF is available, use rendered pages, figure/table locations, visible diagrams, captions, axes, and numeric tables as visual evidence.
• If LaTeX source is available, use figure/table environments, captions, labels, \includegraphics paths, equations, section text, and appendix/source files as evidence.
• If both PDF and LaTeX are available, cross-check them: use the PDF for visual layout and rendered appearance, and use LaTeX for exact captions, labels, equations, figure filenames, and text around the figure.
• The authoritative deep-reading report remains the primary source of truth for storyboard planning. If PDF and LaTeX conflict, note the conflict in a text-only status turn rather than silently inventing content.
• When an image prompt uses paper-specific values, diagrams, or claims, those details must be traceable to the PDF, LaTeX source, or the authoritative report.

Platform guidance for the final PDF assembly step:

• ChatGPT web/app: use the available file/Python/PDF workflow to place one approved image per 16:9 page and export a single PDF.
• Codex / Claude Code / coding-agent environments: use a local script such as scripts/assemble_storyboard_pdf.py, PIL/Pillow, ReportLab, or another approved PDF library.
• Verify that pages are in the intended order, no image is clipped, and the PDF preserves the 16:9 slide aspect ratio.
• Recommended output names: paper_storyboard_all_images.pdf and, if useful, paper_storyboard_images_and_pdf.zip.

Upstream input contract

This stage should be restartable from a fresh session using only the previous stage's uploaded zip plus status and directory descriptions.

The upstream delivery should therefore include:

• one complete paper bundle zip
• metadata/routing_status.json
• metadata/project_directory_index.json
• reports/project_directory_index.md
• metadata/paper_batch_manifest.json
• per-paper metadata/source_record.json
• when available, metadata/openreview_rebuttal_digest.json

For each materialized paper, the upstream source_record.json should already expose at least:

• canonical_paper_page_url
• conference_paper_url
• conference_pdf_url
• openreview_forum_url
• openreview_pdf_url
• arxiv_abs_url
• arxiv_pdf_url
• arxiv_latex_url
• preferred_source_type
• preferred_local_source_path
• local_latex_dir
• local_pdf_path
• local_openreview_pdf_path
• local_official_pdf_path
• local_arxiv_pdf_path
• review_bundle_dir
• review_digest_path
• canonical_review_source_type
• retrieval_sources
• verification_state
• verification_checks
• source_acquisition_status
• source_stage
• artifact_status
• review_bundle_completeness

The deep-read stage should read routing_status and project_directory_index before browsing the tree ad hoc. Do not guess missing structure from filenames if these two files are present. When available, also read metadata/delivery_bundle_manifest.json before ad hoc browsing. It is the authoritative restart contract for fresh-session handoff.

If the user provides multiple PDFs, process them as one bounded batch and keep both:

• per-paper outputs
• a cross-paper comparison artifact when it helps graph building or topic selection

For each paper, generate one standalone authoritative detailed report. Do not merge multiple papers into one only detailed report. The report must be at least as rich as the examples under E:/论文调研/reports/accepted_papers/*.md, and it must also include the extra graph-ready and direction-mining sections required by this stage. Treat those accepted-paper examples as the minimum top-conference deepread bar for the main narrative, not just for the appendix.

Research-generative overlay: read for new ideas, not only for understanding

This skill now includes the Research-Generative Paper Reading lens. Apply it as a mandatory overlay on top of all original paper_deep_reading_skill requirements.

Non-weakening and conflict-resolution rule

• Do not remove, weaken, shorten, or bypass any existing paper-deep-reading requirement, including source contracts, formula preservation, proof-to-practice mapping, figure/table analysis, reviewer-lens audit, OpenReview handling, structured appendix, validation, and handoff rules.
• If a tension appears between the old deep-read requirements and the research-generative overlay, choose the interpretation that is most useful for discovering new research ideas, while still satisfying the original requirement.
• Do not claim certainty about private author thoughts. Always distinguish paper-grounded evidence from plausible reconstruction.
• Generic future-work suggestions are not enough. Convert hidden assumptions, unavailable mechanisms, proxy mismatches, and fragile links into concrete research directions.

Core research equation

For every paper, explicitly extract the paper's research equation:

[ \text{Paper}

\text{Important Setting} + \text{Broken Assumption} + \text{Borrowed Tool} + \text{New Constraint} + \text{Surrogate Mechanism}. ]

Also express the paper as:

[ A(P) \cap \neg C \cap T \cap M \Rightarrow Z \approx Y. ]

Where:

• (A(P)): an existing paradigm that solves an important problem (P);
• (C): a common assumption in prior work;
• (\neg C): the target setting where the assumption fails;
• (T): a realistic constraint such as privacy, decentralization, non-IID data, low labels, safety, latency, limited compute, missing modalities, or distribution shift;
• (M): a method family that almost transfers;
• (Y): the ideal mechanism normally required by (M);
• (Z): the paper's new surrogate mechanism for (Y).

The report must answer: what unavailable mechanism did the authors replace, and how did they make the replacement feel inevitable?

Author-side direction discovery

Add a research-discovery reconstruction using:

[ \text{New Direction}

\text{Valuable Field} + \text{Painful Assumption} + \text{Emerging Tool} + \text{Unserved Setting}. ]

For each central idea, identify:

1. the popular paradigm;
2. the hidden assumption;
3. the realistic violation;
4. the tempting borrowed method;
5. the blocking constraint;
6. the authors' conceptual replacement.

Use phrases such as:

• "A plausible author-side thinking path is..."
• "The paper's setup suggests..."
• "This is an evidence-backed reconstruction rather than a factual claim about the authors' private thoughts."

Story-construction and module logic

For each paper, reconstruct the story bridge:

[ \text{Challenge}_i \rightarrow \text{Failure Mode}_i \rightarrow \text{Design Principle}_i \rightarrow \text{Module}_i \rightarrow \text{Ablation}_i. ]

Create a table:

Challenge	Failure mode	Design principle	Module	Evidence

Then decide whether the method is a weak additive story:

[ M_1 + M_2 + M_3 ]

or a stronger closed-loop story:

[ M_1 \Rightarrow M_2 \Rightarrow M_3 \Rightarrow M_1. ]

Name the object that flows through the loop, such as pseudo-labels, generated data, graph consensus, uncertainty, prototypes, rewards, or memory.

Module author-thinking template

For every major module, use this template in addition to the existing formula/module critique:

[ M_i

\text{Failure} + \text{Unavailable Ideal Solution} + \text{Available Proxy} + \text{Design Choice} + \text{Assumption} + \text{Risk}. ]

The report must identify:

• what would fail without the module;
• what ideal solution would solve it in an easier setting;
• what proxy signal/resource remains available;
• how the authors convert the proxy into a mechanism;
• the hidden assumption (H_i);
• the failure case under (\neg H_i);
• the new research idea created by attacking (\neg H_i).

Reverse citation logic

Do not only list related work. For important citations, infer their narrative function:

Citation cluster	Narrative function	Assumption inherited	How this paper modifies it

Treat citations as permissions to make moves such as: field foundation, limitation evidence, method ancestor, neighboring-field transfer, strong baseline, benchmark protocol, implementation machinery, or negative contrast.

Experiments as story evidence

Read each experiment as:

[ \text{Experiment}

\text{Claim} + \text{Counterfactual} + \text{Metric} + \text{Stress Condition}. ]

For every major experiment block, state:

• which claim it supports;
• which alternative explanation it rules out;
• which module or design choice it justifies;
• whether the stress condition actually matches the target hard setting;
• whether the ablation proves the module's narrative role or only reports a performance drop.

Reusable paper-making pattern

Extract at least one reusable story template from the paper, especially:

[ A \text{ solves } P \text{ when } C; \quad T \Rightarrow \neg C; \quad M \text{ helps but requires } Y; \quad Y \notin T; \quad Z \approx Y. ]

Also look for:

• replacement story: easy-setting resource (Y) is unavailable, so the paper designs (Z);
• two-axis empty-cell story: prior work solves each difficulty separately but not their intersection;
• closed-loop contribution story: noisy signal -> proxy resource -> better coordination -> cleaner signal;
• boundary-pushing story: make a module work when its hidden assumption fails.

Weakness-to-new-idea conversion

For each major weakness, use:

[ \text{Weakness}

\text{Claim}

\text{Evidence} + \text{Hidden Assumption}. ]

Then convert it into:

[ \text{Future Work}

\text{Current Method} + \text{Violated Assumption} + \text{New Mechanism}. ]

Prioritize directions that expose scientific frontier questions rather than only engineering refinements.

Teaching-Explainer overlay: read so the paper can be taught to others

This skill now includes the Teaching-Explainer Paper Reading lens. Apply it as a mandatory overlay on top of the original deep-reading and research-generative requirements.

Non-weakening rule for teaching outputs

• Do not replace the authoritative detailed report with a short teaching summary.
• Do not omit formulas, proofs, figure/table analysis, reviewer concerns, OpenReview context, research-equation analysis, structured appendix, validation, or next-stage handoff because the user wants a clearer explanation.
• Teaching clarity is an extra constraint: make the report easier to explain after the full evidence-grounded deep read is complete.
• If a simplified explanation would hide an important assumption, formula term, negative result, failure mode, reviewer concern, or evidence gap, include both the simplified explanation and the rigorous caveat.
• Keep epistemic discipline: mark whether a teaching claim is paper-grounded, inferred, externally contextualized, or a deliberately simplified analogy.

Teaching source inspirations to integrate

The teaching layer distills public best practices from paper-reading seminars, reviewer guides, and paper-analysis skills. It should be used as a method, not as a citation substitute inside the paper report.

• Use a multi-pass reading logic inspired by the three-pass method: first identify the paper's shape, then understand the content, then reconstruct the work deeply enough to critique and teach it.
• Use role-based critical discussion inspired by role-playing paper-reading seminars: separate the archaeologist, bug hunter, researcher, practitioner, social-impact assessor, and author-defender viewpoints.
• Use a seminar-presentation target: high-level idea, key technical details, experimental results, background/related work, limitations, and 3-5 discussion questions.
• Use an introduction-story target: problem, motivation, solution, and contributions, then work backward from contributions to reconstruct the teachable narrative.
• Use reviewer criteria as teaching checkpoints: soundness, significance, novelty, clarity, relation to prior work, reproducibility, experimental design, statistical rigor, and evidence-to-claim alignment.
• Use architecture-diagram and epistemic-tag discipline from paper-reading skills: each diagram or analogy must distinguish what the paper says from what is inferred for explanation.

Audience-first explanation contract

Before writing the final report, infer or ask for the likely audience when feasible. If the user does not specify, default to:

• primary audience: a technically literate graduate student outside the paper's narrow subfield;
• secondary audience: a skeptical reviewer or advisor;
• tertiary audience: a beginner who needs intuition but not every proof detail.

For each paper, the report must include an explicit explanation plan:

Audience	What they already know	What they will likely miss	What must be explained first	How much math to show	What evidence will convince them

Do not assume that a listener understands the paper's notation, task setting, benchmark culture, or hidden assumptions. Explain these before relying on them.

Multi-pass teaching read loop

Run this loop in addition to the existing workflow:

1. Orientation pass: title, abstract, key figures, task setting, and claimed contribution. Produce a one-sentence paper thesis and a one-sentence why-it-matters statement.
2. Structure pass: map section-by-section roles: setup, gap, method, theory, experiments, ablations, limitations, rebuttal, appendix.
3. Mechanism pass: trace data, symbols, losses, modules, gradients/updates, evidence, and assumptions from input to output.
4. Virtual reimplementation pass: explain how one would rebuild a minimal toy version of the method and where the hard parts appear.
5. Reviewer pass: challenge novelty, soundness, baselines, reproducibility, claims, figures, and limitations.
6. Teacher pass: turn the deep read into a teachable sequence, blackboard derivation, examples, FAQ, and discussion prompts.
7. Teachback pass: create questions that test whether a listener really understood the paper rather than memorized the summary.

Mandatory teaching sections in the authoritative report

The detailed report must include these sections in addition to all original sections:

• 面向讲解的受众画像与讲解目标
• 3 层讲解摘要：30 秒 / 3 分钟 / 10 分钟
• 讲解主线 Story Spine
• 听众先修知识与概念铺垫
• 公式 / 图表 / 实验的讲解脚本
• 板书推导与小例子演示
• 角色扮演式讨论问题
• 可能被问到的问题与回答证据
• 易误解点与纠偏
• PPT / 分享稿结构草案
• 听众可带走的三句话

These sections may appear near the end of the main report before the plain-language story summary, or inside a clearly marked teaching appendix, but they must be present in the authoritative report.

Explanation story spine

For each paper, produce a compact teaching spine:

text

Before this paper:
  The field could do X under assumption C.
Pain:
  In setting T, C fails, so X no longer works.
Tempting path:
  Method family M almost helps, but it requires unavailable mechanism Y.
Key insight:
  The paper constructs surrogate Z for Y.
Method:
  Z is implemented through modules M1, M2, ...
Evidence:
  Experiments/figures/theory show Z helps under stress condition S.
Caveat:
  Z still depends on hidden assumption H.
Teaching punchline:
  The paper's contribution is not just a module, but a replacement story: Y is unavailable, so Z is made useful.

This story spine must remain consistent with the research equation:

text

A(P) ∩ ¬C ∩ T ∩ M ⇒ Z ≈ Y

Explanation ladder

Provide explanations at three levels:

1. Intuition layer: analogy, plain-language causal story, no equations.
2. Mechanism layer: modules, signals, losses, data flow, and why each part is necessary.
3. Evidence layer: tables, figures, ablations, theory, reviewer discussion, and limitations.

The report must explicitly state what is lost when moving from layer 2 or 3 down to layer 1.

Deep explanation, reproducibility, and defense contract

The report must not be a generic summary. Explain the paper to the level where a reader could reproduce the core method, defend the claims in a review discussion, and teach the logic to another researcher.

Use this knowledge-dependency order whenever it is feasible:

1. define symbols, task setting, assumptions, and labels;
2. explain data, inputs, preprocessing, and source evidence;
3. explain the model and modules;
4. explain training objectives, optimization, parameters, and data flow;
5. explain inference, deployment, and outputs;
6. explain experiments, evidence, exceptions, reproducibility risks, and limitations.

For every key concept, use the sequence:

text

直觉 -> 数学公式或 formal definition -> 具体例子 -> 局限 / failure case

For every complex module, explicitly state:

• input tensors/objects, output tensors/objects, symbols, dimensions, and where each value comes from;
• trainable parameters, fixed hyperparameters, objective terms, and update path;
• how data flows into the next module during training and during inference;
• what would break if the module were removed or replaced;
• whether each detail is paper-explicit, report-derived from paper evidence, a reasonable inference, a nearby-work inference, or missing.

For missing experimental or implementation details, do not invent. Explicitly list gaps such as hardware, runtime, memory, optimizer, learning rate, seeds, early stopping, hyperparameter search, preprocessing, data split, label definition, baseline source, whether baselines were rerun or reconstructed, code availability, and compute budget.

The experiment section must be unusually concrete. Include dataset scale, split protocol, label definition, baseline genealogy, baseline rerun/reconstruction status, metric meanings, main numeric patterns, exceptions to the headline result, ablation purpose, qualitative evidence, and reproduction risk.

End the technical explanation with at least one complete numeric toy example that connects training and inference: define tiny inputs, show module outputs or score/loss updates, state which parameters change during training, and then run the learned logic on one inference example. If the paper lacks enough detail for a faithful numeric example, build a clearly marked toy example and state exactly which parts are simplified.

Staged Cartoon Visual-Storyboard Workflow (mandatory after the report, only when the user asks)

This skill supports a second phase for generating presentation-friendly visual storyboards, but the first execution of the skill must never generate images. The first execution is a text-only deep-reading delivery.

Hard separation rule: report text and image generation cannot happen in the same reply

• Do not generate images in the same assistant turn that delivers the authoritative detailed report, status, or step instructions.
• Do not mix a long textual explanation with image generation in the same assistant turn.
• Text-only turns may provide a plan, status, image-step menu, prompts, and platform guidance.
• Image-generation turns should be limited to generating the requested image batch. If using ChatGPT image generation, after the images are generated, keep the assistant's text minimal or empty according to the image tool behavior.
• If a user asks for both “show the report” and “draw images” in one message, first complete only the report/status turn, then tell the user exactly which follow-up command will start the next visual step.

First-run behavior when the skill is invoked

When the user invokes this skill for a paper, first respond with a concise plan, then produce only the complete authoritative deep-reading report and required delivery/status information. This first run must include:

1. Plan: briefly state the workflow stages that will be used:
   • Step 0: complete text-only deep read;
   • Step 1+: staged visual storyboard generation, only after the user asks for a specific step.
2. Complete deep-reading report: generate and display the full detailed report satisfying all deep-read, research-generative, teaching-explainer, reviewer-audit, figure/table, formula, experiment, limitation, and handoff requirements.
3. State and outputs: tell the user what has been produced and what state the workflow is currently in.
4. Next-step prompts: tell the user how to ask for the next step. Include a restart-safe phrase such as:
   • 使用这个skill，根据状态，执行第1步：生成背景、旧方法缺陷、论文问题与灵感来源的多张连续的卡通图。
   • If the user wants continuous cartoon images, explicitly remind them to include: 生成多张连续的卡通图.
   • 使用这个skill，根据状态，告知下一步应该问什么。

Stateless conversation reminder

Assume the conversation may be stateless. In every text-only status or planning turn, remind the user to include the skill name and current state in the next command. Use wording like:

如果开启新会话或上下文丢失，请说：使用这个skill，根据状态，执行第X步：生成多张连续的卡通图，...。如果不知道下一步怎么问，可以说：使用这个skill，根据状态，告知下一步应该问什么。

Visual-generation platform guidance

Before starting any image-generation phase, include this guidance in a text-only planning/status turn, not in the same turn as image generation:

• If the user is using ChatGPT 网页版 / ChatGPT App: use Create image mode for the storyboard images.
• Do not generate SVG diagrams for these storyboard steps.
• If the user is using Codex, Claude Code, or another coding-agent environment: prefer the imagegen skill when it is available. If imagegen is unavailable or insufficient, call ChatGPT Images 2.0 API or another available image-generation API to produce the images; do not try to replace the requested cartoon storyboard with SVG-only output.

Default staged visual storyboard plan

After Step 0 is complete, offer a multi-step image plan. The user may request one step at a time. Each step should generate a coherent set of multiple separate 16:9 images in the same visual identity: cartoon-comic academic infographic style, consistent narrator character, consistent title numbering, consistent color palette, clear panels, actual paper data where relevant, camera continuity, and logical continuity.

Recommended default steps:

Step	Name	Purpose	Typical image count	Must include	Must avoid
Step 1	背景 / 旧方法缺陷 / 问题与灵感	Explain why the problem matters before the algorithm	4-6	continuous event streams, snapshot limitations, feature scarcity, context mismatch, ambiguous boundary, paper motivation	algorithm internals and experiment results
Step 2	算法整体流程与模块	Explain BAD from input event to score	5-7	current edge (u,v,t), recent-neighbor retrieval, Encoding Layer, Pairwise Compatibility Modeling, Boundary-based Anomaly Detector, training vs inference	final performance results
Step 3	实验部分	Explain datasets, baselines, metrics, protocols, results, ablations, qualitative plots, reproducibility caveats	5-7	Table 1 numbers, 12 baselines, AUC/AP explanation, Table 2 key results, Table 3 ablation, Figure 2/3 qualitative explanation, missing GPU/runtime details	unsupported claims about hardware/time
Step 4	关键局限与答辩质疑	Prepare defense visuals for limitations and likely reviewer questions	3-5	score/boundary caveat, training contamination, cold-start, reproducibility, AP caveat, fairness of baseline protocol	inventing reviewer comments not present in sources
Step 5	未来方向与创新图谱	Turn the paper into research-direction visuals	3-5	hidden assumptions, violated settings, robust flow, inductive compatibility, online conformal boundary, causal/counterfactual compatibility	presenting future work as already validated
Step 6	汇报封面 / 总结 / Q&A backup	Presentation packaging	2-4	cover image, final takeaway image, Q&A map	adding new technical claims

Visual step execution protocol

When the user asks to execute a visual step:

1. Verify which step is requested and whether it follows the current state.
2. If the request is not clear, provide a text-only step menu and ask the user to choose. Do not generate images in that clarification turn.
3. If the request is clear and explicitly asks to generate images, call the image-generation tool directly for that step. Use 16:9 aspect ratio unless the user explicitly changes it.
4. Preserve continuity with earlier generated images when available by referencing their visual style: same cartoon narrator, same title numbering, same panel language, same blue-accent academic-comic style.
5. Ground all factual data in the paper and prior report. If a value is not in the PDF, mark it as missing in a text-only planning/status turn, or show it as “未报告” in an image prompt.
6. Generate multiple separate images/cards for the requested section. Do not collapse a multi-step paper explanation into one dense poster.
7. Encode camera movement and visual pacing in the prompt: establish context, zoom into the mechanism, cut to evidence, then close with caveat or transition when the section needs it.
8. For image steps, do not generate SVG. Use Create image in ChatGPT web/app. In Codex-style environments, prefer the imagegen skill when available; otherwise use ChatGPT Images 2.0 API or another approved image API.
9. Do not include detailed report text in the same response as image generation.

Prompting templates for the user

At the end of Step 0 or any text-only status turn, provide concise examples:

• 使用这个skill，根据状态，执行第1步：生成背景、旧方法缺陷、论文问题与灵感来源的多张连续的卡通图。
• 使用这个skill，根据状态，执行第2步：生成算法整体流程与各模块解释的多张连续的卡通图。
• 使用这个skill，根据状态，执行第3步：生成实验部分的多张连续的卡通图，包含数据集、baseline、AUC/AP、主结果、消融和复现缺口。
• 使用这个skill，根据状态，执行第4步：生成局限性与答辩质疑的多张连续的卡通图。
• 使用这个skill，根据状态，执行第5步：生成未来方向和创新图谱的多张连续的卡通图。
• 使用这个skill，根据状态，告知下一步应该问什么。

Formula teaching rule

For every preserved key formula, provide:

Formula	What problem it solves	Term-by-term meaning	How to say it aloud	Where it appears in the algorithm	What can go wrong

Also include one beginner-friendly concrete example for at least one central formula or update rule.

Figure and table teaching rule

For every important figure/table already analyzed by the deep-read stage, add a teaching script:

Visual	First thing to point at	Listener confusion risk	Claim supported	What not to overclaim	Suggested verbal explanation

If a figure is visually persuasive but evidentially weak, teach that distinction explicitly.

Experiment teaching rule

Turn each experiment block into a question-answer unit:

text

Question the experiment answers:
What a skeptical listener might ask:
Setup / dataset / baseline / metric:
Expected result if the paper's claim is true:
Actual result:
What it proves:
What it does not prove:
How to explain the table or curve in one sentence:

Role-play discussion pack

For each paper, create role-based discussion prompts:

Role	What this role checks	Required output
Archaeologist	prior-work ancestry and what is truly new	one older ancestor, one inherited assumption, one modification
Bug Hunter	rigor, correctness, reproducibility, clarity	three attack questions and one likely author response
Researcher	future directions and test-of-time value	two follow-up projects, one high-risk boundary idea
Industry Practitioner	deployability and cost-benefit	adoption conditions, complexity cost, practical failure mode
Social Impact Assessor	risks, misuse, bias, privacy, safety	one positive impact, one omitted negative impact
Author Defender	rebuttal and best-paper pitch	strongest acceptance argument and weakest vulnerable claim
Teacher	whether a non-specialist can follow	analogy, prerequisite list, teachback questions

Talk / PPT blueprint rule

Do not create a separate final report that competes with the authoritative detailed report. If a talk or slide blueprint is needed, make it a derivative artifact that cites the authoritative report as its source.

Minimum slide blueprint:

Slide	Title	One-sentence point	Visual / formula	Speaker notes	Transition	Likely question

Recommended default structure:

1. Why should we care?
2. What was impossible or painful before?
3. What assumption breaks?
4. What is the core idea in one picture?

Q&A and defense rule

Prepare likely questions from three audiences:

• beginner questions: terms, task, intuition, why not simpler;
• peer questions: method details, formulas, baselines, ablations, assumptions;
• advisor/reviewer questions: novelty, significance, reproducibility, missing evidence, limitations, next work.

For each answer, point back to specific evidence from the paper or state that the paper does not provide enough evidence.

Misunderstanding guardrails

Every teaching report must include:

• what the paper does not claim;
• which simplified analogy could mislead;
• which result should not be generalized beyond the paper's tested setting;
• which module is easy to mistake for the whole contribution;
• which baseline comparison is easy to overinterpret;
• which limitation should be stated out loud during a talk.

Teachback self-test

End the teaching section with 8-12 questions a listener should be able to answer after the explanation. Include at least:

• one problem-setting question;
• one assumption-breaking question;
• one method-dataflow question;
• one formula interpretation question;
• one experiment-evidence question;
• one limitation question;
• one reviewer-attack question;
• one future-direction question.

Teaching sidecar artifacts

When useful, create derivative sidecar artifacts under:

• generated/teaching/<paper-slug>/teaching_outline_cn.md
• generated/teaching/<paper-slug>/slide_blueprint_cn.json
• generated/teaching/<paper-slug>/qa_bank_cn.json
• generated/teaching/<paper-slug>/role_play_discussion_pack_cn.md

These sidecars must not replace the authoritative detailed report. They should cite or reference the sections of the authoritative report they derive from.

Extended deep-reading rule set

The following requirements are mandatory even when they are not strongly emphasized by the original paper:

• Title interpretation rule: explicitly interpret the paper title term by term. Explain what each keyword means, why the title is phrased that way, and how the title maps onto the actual method, setting, and claims in the paper.

• Mentioned-paper expansion rule: do not only list cited papers. For the papers that the target paper repeatedly discusses, compare what they solved, what they still left open, and why the current paper needed to move beyond them.

• Multi-layer scientific-problem rule: explain both the paper-level problem and the upper problem ladder. Prefer continuous ladders such as direction-native -> parent-field -> broader AI/ML, and also discuss algorithm-lineage and bottleneck-derived upper problems when defensible.

• Claim-audit rule: extract the paper's innovation points and core claims one by one, then audit whether each claim is supported by theory, experiments, ablations, visual evidence, reviewer discussion, or only by suggestive narrative. Say explicitly when support is weak, indirect, or missing.

• Research-thought reconstruction rule: reconstruct the likely reasoning path that led the authors from observed pain points and prior work to the final design. Also infer what papers, methods, or upper-level scientific problems may have inspired the idea. Separate evidence-backed inference from speculation.

• Author-subjectivity linkage rule: when discussing the idea, theory, proof choices, algorithm, or modules, explicitly note where the design may reflect the authors' subjective judgments, tastes, priors, heuristics, engineering preferences, or research style. Distinguish objective necessity from author-specific choice whenever the paper gives enough evidence.

• Paper-grounded specificity rule: do not stay at a generic or abstract summary level. Stay close to the actual paper by naming the concrete modules, symbols, assumptions, losses, theorem objects, datasets, baselines, figures, and experimental findings that the authors actually use.

• Related-work relation rule: explain the main related-work clusters and state the exact relation between each cluster and the current paper: inherited, contrasted, generalized, specialized, hybridized, or problem-shifted.

• Symbols-and-concepts rule: explain symbols, assumptions, operators, and problem-specific concepts in beginner-friendly language before relying on them in later sections.

• Formula-preservation rule: do not drop, compress away, or replace key equations with prose-only summaries. Preserve the paper's core objective functions, update rules, constraints, estimators, bounds, and theorem statements in readable form, then explain each formula term by term and state what role the formula plays in the method.

• Proof-to-practice mapping rule: if the paper contains theory or proofs, explicitly map theorem assumptions, intermediate claims, and conclusions to the practical algorithm, implementation steps, or system behavior. State whether the implementation is exactly matched to the proved object, only approximately aligned, or only motivated by the theory.

• Theory-purpose rule: explain why each proof or theoretical claim was included by the authors, what reviewer doubt or scientific concern it addresses, what practical meaning it has, and where the theory stops being faithful to the real implementation.

• Module-and-equation critique rule: do not stop at restating the design. For each central formula, module, and modeling assumption, judge whether it may be brittle, under-justified, overly heuristic, computationally expensive, hard to optimize, poorly identified, or mismatched to the claimed scientific goal. Then discuss concrete improvement room, alternative formulations, and what trade-offs those changes would create.

• Concrete algorithm walkthrough rule: the algorithm section must not stop at equations. Give a step-by-step procedure and at least one small concrete example that instantiates the states, inputs, outputs, and updates.

• Experiment genealogy rule: when baselines are compared in the experiments, explain how those baselines relate to the algorithms and literature introduced earlier in the paper, especially the Introduction and Related Work sections.

• Experiment-purpose rule: for every major experiment block, state what question it is trying to answer, what reviewer doubt it addresses, and what kind of evidence it produces. Also point out interesting, surprising, or controversial empirical phenomena.

• Reviewer-lens enrichment rule: enrich the deep-reading report with extra reviewer lenses inspired by strong GitHub paper-review / peer-review skills. At minimum, explicitly audit novelty, significance, technical soundness, methodological rigor, reproducibility, results-claims alignment, missing baselines or controls, figure/table clarity, limitation honesty, and venue-fit or acceptance logic when relevant.

• LaTeX-figure explanation rule: when a LaTeX source is available, do not ignore figures just because the paper is not being read from a rendered PDF. Reconstruct important figures from figure environments, captions, labels, referenced text, and included image paths when possible, then explain what each figure is trying to show, how it supports the argument, and what it leaves unclear.

• PDF-figure explanation rule: when a PDF source is available, important figures must also be explicitly interpreted rather than only glanced at. Explain each key architecture figure, pipeline figure, qualitative example, and experimental plot in terms of purpose, visual structure, figure-to-claim mapping, and what remains unclear, potentially misleading, or insufficiently supported.

• Experiment-chart consistency rule: in the experiment section, explicitly explain important tables, charts, curves, qualitative figures, and numeric comparisons. State which claim each visual or data block supports, whether the evidence really matches the stated claim, and where there is partial support, contradiction, or unexplained mismatch. Analyze plausible reasons for those mismatches instead of smoothing them away.

• Innovation-type rule: judge whether the work is mainly incremental, cross-domain, boundary-breaking, or a mixture. Explain why.

• Boundary-crossing rule: discuss whether the paper truly crosses a disciplinary or subfield boundary, or mainly recombines ideas inside one field.

• Limitation rule: explicitly discuss the paper's weaknesses, unresolved assumptions, failure modes, scope limits, and risks of overclaim. Distinguish between minor limitations and structural limitations that cap the paper's impact.

• Scientific-frontier direction rule: when proposing future work, distinguish ordinary follow-up engineering from directions that could actually push scientific boundaries. State what new scientific question, cross-field bridge, or conceptual shift would be required for a boundary-pushing follow-up.

• New-direction rule: speculate about follow-up directions and new innovation hooks, including cross-domain transfer, lateral migration of the method, native extensions of the paper's own line, and higher-risk directions that may open a new boundary rather than only improve a benchmark.

• Story-summary rule: end with one simple and vivid story that a non-specialist could understand without equations. That means the authoritative report must explicitly cover:

• 论文信息

• 论文标题解读

• 这篇论文真正解决的是什么

• 论文中提到的其他论文做了什么、留下了什么空白、与本文是什么关系

• 核心方法到底在干什么

The detailed report length is not capped. Prefer completeness over brevity when the paper warrants it.

In ChatGPT Projects, the default input should be one uploaded paper-collection zip in Project sources. That zip should contain the paper PDFs and metadata bundle produced by the collection stage. Do not assume a local filesystem paper folder exists. If a clean local scaffold is needed before building the upload bundle, initialize it with:

• scripts/init_paper_deep_reading_scaffold.py
• scripts/build_paper_deep_reading_bundle.py
• scripts/validate_detailed_report_structure.py

That scaffold should create:

• metadata/query_spec.json
• metadata/paper_batch_manifest.json
• metadata/delivery_bundle_manifest.json
• metadata/routing_status.json
• metadata/project_directory_index.json
• reports/project_directory_index.md
• reports/stage_delivery_handoff.md
• reports/per_paper/<paper-slug>/<paper-slug>_detailed_cn.md

Core rule

Work in stages. If the next step depends on files not yet present in the current Project sources, stop and ask the user to upload them first.

This especially includes:

• paper PDFs
• OpenReview review / rebuttal exports
• supplementary PDFs
• LaTeX source
• generated page images
• generated visual manifests
• generated intermediate Markdown / JSON

Required layered outputs

• broader ML/AI scientific problems
• adjacent parent-field problems
• higher-problem provenance:
  • paper-explicit
  • borrowed-algorithm ancestry
  • new-algorithm bottleneck
• direction-native problems
• module-to-problem mapping
• graph node candidates
• graph relation candidates
• related-paper linkage notes
• idea-genesis trace
• motivation-to-algorithm bridge evidence
• rebuttal-aware gap notes
• figure analysis
• table / chart design analysis
• reviewer-lens audit matrix
• figure-to-claim mapping
• table/chart/data-to-claim mapping
• experiment consistency notes
• visual prompt blueprint
• teaching story spine
• audience prerequisite map
• formula/table/experiment teaching scripts
• role-play discussion pack
• Q&A and defense bank
• slide/talk blueprint
• teachback self-test

When extracting upper scientific problems, do not rely only on the paper's own phrasing. Build a progressive problem ladder instead of making a large abstraction jump. Prefer:

• direction-native problem
• adjacent parent-field problem
• broader ML/AI scientific problem

Example:

• PFL -> FL -> AI/ML

Do not jump directly from PFL to a remote AI/ML abstraction if FL is the scientifically meaningful middle layer. Only skip the middle layer when no defensible parent-field layer exists, and say so explicitly.

Also infer the upper ladder from:

• the algorithm families the paper borrows from
• the problems or bottlenecks the new algorithm itself runs into

Keep those three paths separate in the machine-readable outputs so a downstream graph page can show:

• what the paper explicitly claimed
• what was implied by borrowed algorithm lineage
• what was implied by the new method's encountered bottlenecks

For each path, preserve the nearest parent-field layer before the broader ML/AI layer whenever the evidence supports it.

Review-context rule

If the paper is from ICLR, use the paper title and year to find the matching OpenReview forum before writing the review/rebuttal section. Use that forum as the canonical source for reviewer concerns, author replies, and decision context.

If the paper came from a previous collection stage, prefer consuming the already downloaded local OpenReview bundle from the project tree instead of re-searching first. The detailed report should explicitly use that local bundle when it exists.

If an ICLR paper still lacks openreview_forum_url, report that gap explicitly in the machine-readable output and in the human-facing report instead of silently continuing as if review context were complete.

If the paper is not from ICLR, do not force a review/rebuttal section by default unless the user explicitly asks for external peer-review context and a reliable public source exists.

Algorithm-detail rule

For the proposed method, prefer extracting more than a short summary. Capture:

• model form
• architecture summary
• key modules
• training pipeline
• inference pipeline
• optimization objectives
• communication or deployment path when relevant

Also analyze how the paper narrows the gap between motivation and final algorithm. Explicitly look for:

• small experiments
• probe experiments
• pilot or trial model designs
• explanatory ablations
• toy examples that clarify the update path
• visualizations used to justify the mechanism

When summarizing the proposed method, do all of the following when the source materials allow it:

• define the major symbols before relying on them
• separate novel steps from inherited steps
• state where each step gets its input and where its output is consumed
• give at least one concrete worked example of the algorithm or pipeline
• connect each major step back to the motivation it is meant to satisfy

For experiments, also require:

• explicit mapping from each baseline back to the related-work families introduced earlier
• explicit statement of why each experiment block exists
• explicit note of surprising, unstable, or controversial findings
• explicit discussion of whether the evidence supports only local gains or a broader scientific claim

For each one, state what claim it is trying to support and whether it really makes the final method more convincing.

Example:

• if the paper uses LoRA, check whether that points upward to feature alignment, shared-subspace design, or interface-stable transfer
• if the new method later depends on cross-family alignment, record alignment as an upper problem even if the paper only framed it as an implementation detail

No new retrieval rule inside deep reading

This stage must not reopen external retrieval.

Do not, inside this stage:

• reopen author-team search on academic sites
• start fresh related-paper harvesting
• search GitHub for workflow borrowing
• widen source discovery beyond what the uploaded upstream bundle already delivered

Instead:

• reuse upstream source_record.json, routing_status.json, project_directory_index.json, and any already downloaded review / rebuttal bundle
• if upstream materials already contain author-team notes, summarize them
• if author-team continuation context is missing, mark it as an upstream gap and defer it back to the download / collection stages
• if you notice a retrieval weakness, record it as a follow-up need rather than solving it here

Report layering rule

For human-facing reading output, keep one authoritative report file.

• The detailed report should be the main report.
• Intermediate Markdown should only be a staging or audit artifact.
• If intermediate Markdown exists, its structured additions should be merged into the main detailed report rather than kept as a second parallel final report.
• In the final Project sources refresh bundle, prefer intermediate JSON only; do not include intermediate Markdown unless the user explicitly wants audit traces.

Important constraint

ChatGPT canvas should prefer standard-library-safe scripts and source files already placed in sources.

If PDF rendering, OCR, or local figure extraction has already been done outside ChatGPT, ask the user to upload:

• visual_manifest.json
• extracted page images
• intermediate JSON / Markdown

Preferred OCR preprocessing order before upload:

• RapidOCR
• Tesseract + pytesseract
• EasyOCR

If the local OCR chain is unavailable, upload the rendered page images anyway and let ChatGPT continue with PDF text layer, captions, and nearby blocks.

Do not keep OCR lines, OCR block parsing, or figure-analysis confidence in the default final artifacts unless the user explicitly wants OCR audit traces.

When a local preprocessing batch is already finished, only upload final artifacts into Project sources. Do not upload probe or test-only OCR directories such as visuals_test or visuals_easyocr_probe*. Prefer a final bundle that contains:

• final visual_manifest.json
• the final visuals/pages/ directory if the Markdown still references those images
• final intermediate JSON
• final detailed Markdown / PDF
• final PDFs
• final comparison tables or graph-seed JSON files
• final project directory index JSON / Markdown

Before handing the bundle to the next stage, run:

• scripts/validate_detailed_report_structure.py
• scripts/build_paper_deep_reading_bundle.py

Do not assume ChatGPT can access local files outside Project sources.

Reply footer rule

At the end of every substantive reply, append:

• Current Status
• Possible User Inputs For Next Stage

Do not include a Recommended Next Skill section. When visual generation is the likely next action, include a user prompt that explicitly says 生成多张连续的卡通图.

Batch Completeness Rule

• Deep-read every paper in metadata/paper_batch_manifest.json. Do not select-read only part of the batch.
• Each paper must produce one authoritative per-paper detailed report plus the expected machine-readable intermediate artifact.
• If a paper is from ICLR, consume the already-downloaded local OpenReview review / rebuttal bundle instead of skipping review context.
• Before handoff, run scripts/validate_detailed_report_structure.py. That validator should fail if any paper in the batch still lacks its authoritative report.
• The handoff bundle should also include the current status description and the project directory description so the next session can resume from the zip alone.

Next-Stage Handoff

• Optional downstream function, only when the user asks: mine directions and innovation points from authoritative deep-read outputs, then build the graph workspace.
• Pass forward from this stage:
  • *_detailed_cn.md
  • *_detailed_cn.pdf
  • intermediate/*.json
  • visual manifests and final figure-analysis artifacts when available
  • derivative teaching sidecars under generated/teaching/ when generated
  • the refreshed deep-read bundle uploaded back into Project sources
• metadata/query_spec.json
• metadata/paper_batch_manifest.json
• metadata/delivery_bundle_manifest.json
• metadata/routing_status.json
• metadata/project_directory_index.json
• reports/project_directory_index.md
• reports/stage_delivery_handoff.md
• the complete refreshed zip bundle uploaded back into Project sources
• Next-stage user may need to provide:
  • research_subfield or a confirmed direction label
  • which candidate starting nodes or expansion branches to activate
  • optional budget / hardware information before ranking directions
  • whether the next graph stage should only list unranked candidate directions or produce a ranked priority table
• Next stage should reference these state fields first:
  • paper_id
  • paper_title
    • key_artifacts
    • blockers
    • and consult metadata/project_directory_index.json before searching the tree ad hoc
