Paperzilla
Use this skill when you want to chat with your agent about projects, recommendations, and canonical papers in Paperzilla.
What you can ask
"Give me the latest recommendations from project X."
"Open recommendation Y and explain why it matters."
"Fetch canonical paper Z as markdown and summarize it."
"Tell me how this paper is relevant to my research."
"Show me the feed for project X."
"Leave feedback on a recommendation."
"Export this paper, recommendation, or feed as JSON."
This is the core Paperzilla skill. It gives your agent direct access to Paperzilla data, but it does not impose a workflow or external delivery integration.
