A reading tool for dense academic papers. It clarifies jargon in place, contextualises citations so a reference is a claim you can weigh rather than a bracketed number, and reorganises the text for comprehension while keeping full access to the original.

Read dense papers. Actually understand them.

A paper is usually hard for two reasons at once: the idea is genuinely difficult, and the prose is written for the handful of people already inside the field. Skimmilk works on the second problem so the first one gets your attention.

What it does

  • Clarifies jargon in place, rather than sending you elsewhere for it.
  • Contextualises citations, so a reference is a claim you can weigh rather than a bracketed number.
  • Reorganises the text for comprehension while keeping full access to the original, because the reformatting is an aid and not a replacement.

Built for researchers, academics, and students who have to read a great deal outside their own subfield.
