TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
A paper proposes `paper.json`, a lightweight companion file for academic PDFs that helps LLM agents read papers more reliably.
It adds stable IDs for claims and definitions, explicit “does not claim” scope limits, and per-figure command instructions.
The author says the format can be added quickly and even includes a self-compliance check.
The goal is to make scientific claims and reproducibility details easier to verify, extract, and use.
