comparing-paperslisted

Use when comparing a draft against specific prior work head to head — checking whether a baseline was trained at the same scale, whether protocols match, how many seeds each ran, or what a competitor actually reports. Triggers on "compare this paper to X", "how does our method differ from Y", "is the baseline comparison fair", "did they train at the same scale", or a shortlist of papers from a gap sweep.

# Comparing Papers ## Overview Puts a draft and its closest prior work side by side on the axes reviewers attack, with every cell traceable to a quoted sentence and the section it came from. **The tool gathers evidence; you draw the conclusion.** It computes a note on exactly two axes — a training-scale ratio and a seed count — because those are arithmetic. On every other axis it shows two passages and stops. "These protocols differ" reads like a finding but is a judgement, and a tool that makes it will eventually make it wrongly in a document you sign your name to. This automates the check `reviewing-paper-sources/reference/claim-audit.md` calls *"baseline training scale vs its published scale"*, which otherwise means reading two appendices and doing a multiplication. ## Run it ```sh python3 ~/.claude/skills/comparing-papers/assets/run-compare.py . \ --against "SNIP: Bridging Mathematical Symbolic and Numeric Realms" \ --out review-assets/ # take the shortlist straight from a gap sweep python3 ~/.claude/skills/comparing-papers/assets/run-compare.py . \ --from-candidates review-assets/candidates.json --grade THREAT ``` Run by absolute path from the paper directory. Stdlib only. `--against` accepts a title, a DOI or an arXiv id and repeats; `--limit` caps how many papers are fetched (default 5). Writes `paper-comparison-<date>.md` and `comparison.json`. Exit code `2` means some paper was reachable only as an abstract. ## The acquisition ladder ``` 1. arX
