SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires PyMuPDF, pytesseract, Pillow, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

DeepPaperNote solves the time-consuming and error-prone process of manually turning complex research papers into structured, reusable Obsidian notes. It automates evidence gathering, metadata collection, figure placement, and note generation so you can focus on understanding the paper rather than on mechanical formatting work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-First Deep Reading: Builds a model-facing synthesis bundle from raw PDF text, metadata, and figure assets, ensuring every claim in the final note is grounded in the original source.
  • Obsidian-Native Output: Generates polished Markdown notes with YAML frontmatter, domain-aware vault routing, and paper-local images directories ready for long-term knowledge management.
  • Paper-Type Adaptation: Adjusts section emphasis and writing strategy for AI methods, benchmarks, clinical studies, surveys, and humanities papers.

Quick Start

Use the deeppapernote skill to generate a deep-reading note from a paper title, DOI, arXiv ID, or local PDF path and save it directly into your Obsidian vault.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a research PDF into structured Obsidian notes?

To convert a research PDF into structured Obsidian notes, this Skill automates PDF text extraction and metadata collection to generate Markdown files with YAML frontmatter and domain-aware vault routing. It parses local PDFs to build evidence-based notes for long-term knowledge management.

What is the best way to extract figures and images from a PDF for research notes?

The best way to extract figures from a PDF for research notes is using automated assets extraction. This Skill isolates figure assets during PDF parsing and places them into a paper-local images directory, inserting placeholders directly into your Markdown output.

Does this paper reading workflow support different types of academic research?

Yes, this paper reading workflow supports different types of academic research. It adapts section emphasis and writing strategy specifically for AI methods, benchmarks, clinical studies, surveys, and humanities papers to ensure domain-aware synthesis.

Do I need PyMuPDF and PyTesseract installed to extract PDF evidence?

Yes, you need PyMuPDF and PyTesseract installed to extract PDF evidence. PyMuPDF handles core PDF parsing and text extraction, while PyTesseract and Pillow support image processing tasks required for building the final synthesis bundle.

Can I use this to generate deep reading notes from an arXiv ID or DOI?

Yes, you can use this to generate deep reading notes from an arXiv ID or DOI. The workflow accepts paper titles, online identifiers, or local PDF paths as input to automatically fetch, parse, and route the resulting Markdown notes into your vault.
