I replied to a comment above with the system prompt.

Something I've learned is that the standard, "Summarize this paper" doesn't do a great job because summaries are so subjective. But if you tell a frontier LLM, like Opus 4.6, "Turn this paper into an interactive web page highlighting the most important aspects" it does a really good job. There are still issues with over/under weighting the various aspects of a paper but the models are getting better.

What I find fascinating is that LLMs are great at translation so this is an experiment in translating papers into software, albeit very simple software.
