paperforge

Install (Claude Code)

/plugin marketplace add Nitrogen216/paperforge
/plugin install paperforge@paperforge

Then analyze any paper:

/paperforge:paperforge

Install (Codex CLI)

mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills/paperforge
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nitrogen216/paperforge/main/skills/paperforge/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.codex/skills/paperforge/SKILL.md

What It Does

Paperforge sends the same 5 questions to three AI models simultaneously, then synthesizes their independent answers into a single report with consensus scoring.

Panelist	Model	Method
A	ChatGPT 5.2 Thinking	Oracle browser (always)
B	Gemini (gemini-3-pro or default)	CLI or in-session
C	Claude Sonnet 4.6	CLI or in-session

Wall time: ~5–10 min (parallel) vs. 15–30 min sequential.

The five questions cover: Problem & Motivation, Core Innovation, How It Works, Evidence & Validation, and Takeaways & Limitations — generic enough to apply to any paper type (empirical ML, theory, systems, survey, HCI, etc.).

Output Format

A structured Markdown report with:

• Paper at a Glance — research area, core problem, approach, key result
• Problem & Motivation — triangulated [A][B][C] with consensus tags
• Core Innovation — triangulated, with synthesizer's independent judgment
• How It Works — step-by-step, key equations rendered in $$...$$
• Evidence & Validation — concrete numbers, dataset names, theorem names
• Key Takeaways — limitations and future directions
• Synthesizer's Assessment — confidence level and what not to miss
• Consensus Scorecard — table of key claims vs. each panelist

Examples

The following screenshots show Paperforge's output when analyzing "Attention Is All You Need" (Vaswani et al., 2017 — the Transformer paper).

Acknowledgements

Paperforge relies on Oracle by Peter Steinberger (@steipete) for browser automation that drives ChatGPT. Oracle handles Chrome profile management, model selection, file attachment, and response capture — capabilities that make Panelist A possible. We are grateful for Peter's work in building and open-sourcing Oracle.
