Notes

• paperbd papers lists the papers you currently have access to.
• paperbd usage shows your remaining paper analyses, remaining CLI requests, and when the quota resets.
• Paper analysis means accessing new papers you have never read with Paper Breakdown.
• CLI requests means every successful CLI query reduces that count.
• If a paper is not already available to your account, paperbd ask will try to add it automatically.
