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.
