Release notes
Research Idea Discovery v3.5.0 — 2026-10-09
Added
- Add paper-grounded research discovery while reading, with four evidence-based entry points: real failures, reverse-engineering successful mechanisms, apparent contradictions, and deployment needs.
- Add an optional paper-anchored workflow that connects located experiments to falsifiable problems, null explanations, and low-cost probes while preserving open-problem and single-question routes.
- Add separate scientific-depth and research-velocity assessments, along with asset/reproduction checks and conditional GO/STOP planning.
- Expand the bilingual project README with the new research workflow, keeping the installation tutorials and acknowledgements.
Updated
- Advance both Research Idea Discovery plugin manifests and the project guide to v3.5.0 while preserving the stable plugin ID and repository paths.
- Add new scout, portfolio, execution-planning, explanation, and method-design Skills, references, examples, checks, and regression tests.
v0.7.0 — 2026-10-09
Added
- Extend the first overview stage to connect the research problem, paper story, main conclusion, and a verified result snapshot with its limits.
- Add an optional research-thinking choice after the third overview stage; readers can discuss problem necessity, key assumptions, and simple alternatives, or proceed directly to deep reading.
- Add a post-reading evidence review using Claim → Evidence → Alternative → Falsifier → Next Experiment, with optional research-question cards and presentation practice.
- Keep research thinking evidence-led and user-controlled; do not force answers or present an unverified idea as established novelty.
Updated
- Refresh the bilingual project guides and plugin metadata to describe paper reading as both paper understanding and research-thinking practice.
- Add
references/research-thinking.mdwith discussion flows, candidate-question criteria, and optional reporting formats. - Preserve the stable plugin identifier
paper-reading, ChatGPT installation guides, screenshots, and acknowledgements.
v0.6.0 — 2026-10-08
Added
- Build a semantic argument map for all paper figures, tables, algorithms, and teasers, including their roles, first-use stages, and later reuse.
- Track all essential visuals for the current stage before declaring it complete; explain cross-figure argument links and allow multiple necessary figures.
- Distinguish a true architecture diagram from a pipeline or algorithm listing, and state clearly when no architecture diagram is present.
- Add
check_figure_coverage.pyto audit a human-reviewed figure plan and stage records. It checks supplied records; it does not parse PDFs or verify that a client displayed an image.
Updated
- Keep the stable plugin ID
paper-readingwhile synchronizing the v0.6.0 reading workflow and helper scripts. - Update project guides and installation links for the renamed
no-heartburn-academic-skillsrepository.
v0.5.3 — 2026-10-08
Added
- Add conditional one-click next-stage navigation while preserving explicit reader consent and the seven-stage reading flow.
- Prefer verified, inline paper figures; distinguish an actual image display from sandbox download links and provide download links only as a fallback.
- Add the verified sandbox download-link helper to the PDF crop script.
- Add an in-repository screenshot example of a Transformer Self-Attention explanation. Its diagram is an explanatory schematic, not an original paper figure.
Updated
- Make ChatGPT the primary use case while retaining Codex compatibility; clarify that account/model and client limits still apply.
- Keep the package identifier
paper-readingand theacademic-skillscollection structure while updating to the supplied v0.5.3 workflow. - Add tests for stage navigation, preview/download wording, and verified fallback links.
v0.5.0 — 2026-10-08
Added
- A seven-stage paper-reading guide with a clear boundary between the first three overview stages and the subsequent deep-reading stages.
- An optional seventh stage for evidence review, reviewer-style analysis, and research transfer.
crop_pdf_asset.pyfor rendering a full PDF page or a user-selected crop.make_figure_card.pyfor adding a short reading guide around an unchanged, verified figure crop, with a pixel-preservation check.- Plugin manifests, dependency declarations, automated checks, and usage documentation.
Notes
- The plugin is named
paper-reading; its client-facing display name is 论文带读. - The reading framework is preserved from the supplied v0.5.0 source. This release organizes the plugin under the
academic-skillsrepository and aligns its package name, skill path, metadata, and documentation. - The plugin provides instructions and two image utilities. PDF interpretation, web verification, image rendering in chat, and conversation continuity depend on the host AI client and its tools.
- No user papers, datasets, chat logs, credentials, or model weights are included.
