Build full-paper Chinese-English side-by-side, figure/table-aware, source-grounded Markdown readers for journal or conference papers from PDF, DOI, arXiv, publisher HTML, or pasted text. Use whenever the user asks to translate or read a paper, make 中英文对照/原文对照/全文翻译解读, extract figures or tables into the right positions, preserve figure/table placement near relevant prose, or keep exact source anchors for every block. This skill must not degrade into a summary-only output unless the user explicitly asks for a summary. Also trigger on general paper-reading and translation requests even without the word "Nature", such as reading/translating an academic paper, literature reading, understanding a paper, and Chinese phrasings like 读论文、精读论文、论文翻译、文献翻译、文献阅读、学术阅读、帮我读这篇文章、翻译这篇paper.
