v1.4.0 — Synthesis, template refactoring & release policy

Changes since v1.3.0

Added

• Synthesis page type — cross-paper landscape comparison with callouts, mermaid diagrams, coverage matrix, evidence heatmap
• Auto-suggest/auto-update synthesis — Step 7: suggest synthesis when vault has 10+ papers; auto-update existing synthesis on new paper additions
• Analysis and Framework paper types with dedicated templates
• Visual Design System — callout types, emoji section headers, tag taxonomy
• Demo screenshots (14 Obsidian screenshots) with cropped PersonaLens views
• Chinese README (README.zh-CN.md) with language switcher

Changed

• Template refactoring — extracted 8 inline templates into on-demand templates/ directory (~60% token savings per invocation)
• Method template redesigned — flat structure with Quick Reference table
• Versioning rules strengthened with pre-commit checklist and anti-pattern examples
• Release policy — CHANGELOG and GitHub Release only on MINOR version carry, not per PATCH

Removed

• paper-moc, paper-dataview, paper-note — consolidated into paper-wiki

• > [!tip] — Adoption Guide / practical advice
• > [!info] — Prerequisites / context
• > [!example] — Concrete examples / case studies
• > [!danger] — Common misconceptions

Emoji Section Headers

Visual anchors for quick scanning: 🎯 Motivation, 📋 Overview, 🔬 Method, 📊 Results, 💡 Findings, ⚠️ Questions, 🧩 Concepts, 🔗 Related

Tag Taxonomy

Hierarchical tag system: type/benchmark, domain/personalization, venue/neurips-2025, status/complete

v1.1.0 — Template Expansion & Workflow Rules

What's New

New Paper Templates

• Survey Paper Template — taxonomy framework, coverage analysis, open problems sections
• Technical Report Template — architecture deep-dive, scaling analysis, legacy & influence sections
• Now supports 4 paper types: Benchmark, Method, Survey, Technical Report

Enhanced Evaluation Standards

• Venue checking (Step 1b) — auto-detect publication venue from arXiv Comments field
• Venue hierarchy: Main Conference > Findings > Workshop > Preprint
• Metric formula requirement — all custom metrics must include explicit formulas with every variable annotated
• Variable annotation rule — every symbol in the wiki page must be defined on first use

Workflow

• Post-modification GitHub sync — skill now asks whether to push after every wiki change
