User input: $ARGUMENTS

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

• File path to a paper (e.g., papers/Smith2024_catalyst.pdf, papers/project_report.tex) → read that file
• Multiple paths separated by spaces → batch mode (process each sequentially)
• Empty → ask the user for the paper path or paste content

Startup

1. Read CLAUDE.md — check KB Corrections Log for known issues
2. Read config.md — load Personal Info (to identify user's author position), Provenance Flags
3. Read knowledge_base/extractions/_INVENTORY.md — see what's already extracted, avoid duplicates

If the paper is already in the inventory:

• Show the existing extraction path
• Ask: "This paper is already extracted. Re-extract (overwrite) or skip?"
• Wait for user response before proceeding
