2. What method does it use?
3. What are the key findings?
4. What is the main limitation?
5. What is the most interesting implication?

Do not evaluate — just report what the paper says.

Provide a detailed summary of this paper for my research notes:

1. BIBLIOGRAPHIC: Full citation, DOI, author affiliations
2. RESEARCH QUESTION: The exact question(s) as stated by authors
3. METHOD: Design, participants, measures, analysis approach
4. FINDINGS: All findings, not just the "headline" ones
5. SURPRISING RESULTS: Anything the authors found unexpected
6. METHODOLOGY ASSESSMENT: What's strong? What's weak?
7. MY APPLICABILITY: How does this relate to my work on [TOPIC]?
8. FOLLOW-UP: Papers this one cites that I should read next

Be thorough. I'm taking notes, not skimming.

GROUNDING ENABLED

I'm researching [RESEARCH AREA]. Based on:

1. The following 10 paper summaries: [SUMMARIES]
2. Current gaps identified in the literature: [GAPS]
3. Recent developments in adjacent fields: [CONTEXT]

Generate 5 testable hypotheses that address gaps in the literature.

For each hypothesis:
- Statement: clear, falsifiable prediction
- Rationale: why this hypothesis, based on what evidence
- Methodology sketch: how you'd test it (design, measures, sample)
- Prior probability: low/medium/high chance of being supported (and why)
- Novelty: is anyone already testing this? (check with grounding)

Rank hypotheses by: novelty × feasibility × potential impact.

GROUNDING ENABLED

Write a paragraph on [TOPIC] suitable for the introduction of a
peer-reviewed paper.

Requirements:
- Every factual claim must be backed by a citation
- Citations must include: Author, Year, Journal, and DOI or URL
- Use only peer-reviewed sources (journals, conferences, academic presses)
- If grounding can't find a source for a claim, mark it as [CITATION NEEDED]
- Prefer primary sources over reviews where possible
- Flag any citations that are from preprints or non-peer-reviewed sources

After the paragraph, include a SOURCE NOTES section that explains
why each source was chosen and any caveats about its reliability.

Image 1: "figure-3.png" — Figure 3 from [Paper Title]
Image 2: "table-2.png" — Table 2 from the same paper

1. Explain Figure 3 in plain language: what does each axis/show,
   what pattern is visible, what does the pattern mean?
2. Extract all data from Table 2 as a markdown table
3. Cross-reference: does the Figure 3 visualization accurately
   represent the Table 2 data?
4. Identify anything unusual or questionable about the data
   presentation (misleading axes, cherry-picked ranges, etc.)
