paper-context-resolver
When to apply
- README and repo files leave a reproduction-critical gap.
- The gap concerns dataset version, split, preprocessing, evaluation protocol, checkpoint mapping, or runtime assumptions.
- The main skill needs a narrow evidence supplement instead of a full paper summary.
- There is already a concrete reproduction question to answer.
When not to apply
- The README already gives enough reproduction detail.
- The user wants a general paper explanation rather than reproduction support.
- The goal is to override README instructions without documenting the conflict.
- The only available input is a paper title and there is no concrete reproduction gap yet.
Clear boundaries
- This skill is optional.
- This skill is helper-tier and should usually be orchestrator-invoked.
- It supplements README-first reproduction.
- It does not replace the main orchestration flow.
- It does not summarize the whole paper by default.
Input expectations
- target repo metadata
- reproduction-critical question
- existing README or repo evidence
- any already known paper links
Output expectations
- narrowed source list
- reproduction-relevant answer only
- explicit README-paper conflict note when applicable
- clear distinction between direct evidence and inference
