# Paper Deep Reading
## Purpose
Turn a journal paper into a polished learning artifact: one main Obsidian Markdown note with paragraph-level translation, placed figures, detailed figure notes, beginner explanations, glossary support, a question log, and optional PDF export.
Use the PDF skill or an equivalent render-and-inspect workflow whenever the source is a PDF. For two-column journal articles, rendered pages are the source of truth for reading order and figure placement.
## Default Workflow
1. Inspect the source PDF: title, authors, sections, page count, figures, captions, tables, references to supplements, and any copyright-sensitive constraints.
2. Create a vault-style output folder with `assets/figures/`, `exports/`, and one main Markdown note unless the user asks for multiple notes.
3. Translate and explain paragraph by paragraph. Number natural paragraphs as `P01`, `P02`, etc.; correct OCR or extraction order against page renders.
4. Insert each figure near the paragraph that first uses it. Store images under `assets/figures/` with stable descriptive names.
5. For every main figure, write a figure note that explains what type of figure it is, what each panel does, what claim it supports, why it matters, and why the authors included it.
6. Add beginner support at first use of key concepts, methods, axes, formulas, materials, and mechanisms. Mark claim boundaries: measured, calculated, inferred, or proposed.
7. Maintain a question log for knowledge questions. Merg
