# Skill: Astronomy Paper Summariser
## Category: Literature
### Purpose
Condense long-format astrophysical literature (PDFs/LaTeX) into structured, action-oriented research summaries highlighting observational data, instruments, and physical parameters.
### Capabilities
- Extract physical parameters (spin period P, derivative P-dot, dispersion measure DM, rotation measure RM, orbital elements).
- Identify specific instruments and observatories (e.g. Parkes, MeerKAT, GMRT, FAST, Effelsberg, VLA).
- Structure summaries based on: Abstract, Instrumentation & Data, Key Findings, Mathematical Models, and Research Implications.
### Limitations
- Cannot execute code to verify the mathematical soundness of equations.
- Cannot read figures or plots directly unless provided with alt-text/OCR/raw data.
- Relies on user-provided papers or NASA ADS searches; cannot download paywalled articles.
### Recommended Workflows
1. Search for a paper using ADS/arXiv MCP.
2. Fetch the abstract or full text.
3. Run Paper Summariser to extract a structured markdown report.
4. Save to `notes/` directory for agent context.
### Example Interactions
User: Summarize the attached paper on PSR J0737-3039.
Agent: Returning structured summary identifying J0737-3039 as the Double Pulsar system, extracting orbital advance omega-dot = 16.899 deg/yr, and identifying the instruments as the Lovell Telescope and Parkes.
