What problem does it solve?
Researchers often need consistent, searchable summaries of scientific papers, including IMRaD structure and clean metadata.
This Skill converts study PDFs into a structured Markdown representation with a frontmatter header, IMRaD sections, and preserved references, enabling easy archiving and discovery.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Extracts metadata (title, year, DOI/PMID/PMCID) from the first page and attempts to identify authors and journal.
- Detects IMRaD sections and reorganizes the content into Markdown sections, while preserving references.
- Handles two-column PDF layouts and provides a dry-run option to preview results before extraction.
- Use case: convert a PMC article to a Markdown file for a literature review repository, including a succinct "Key findings" section and full references.
Quick Start
Provide a study PDF to the tool and it will generate a Markdown file with clean metadata and a structured body.
