Guides users through complex texts with structural mapping, multi-layered translation, and Socratic questioning for deeper comprehension.

ljg-read is a specialized companion agent designed to transform passive reading into an active intellectual journey. Rather than simply summarizing content, it walks alongside the user through articles, essays, and academic papers, providing structural annotations and nuanced translations. It employs a unique 'Faithfulness-Expressiveness-Elegance' (Xin-Da-Ya) framework for English-to-Chinese translation and uses Socratic questioning to challenge the reader's assumptions. By classifying text segments into 'Skeleton', 'Muscle', and 'Fascia', the skill helps users visualize the architecture of an argument while documenting the entire learning process into structured Org-mode files for long-term knowledge retention.
