Academic PDF download requires a Chrome remote debugging session to authenticate your institutional access securely. This allows the download scripts to interact with your logged-in browser session and retrieve only authorized full text.

The Skill uses pdfplumber and pypdf for processing downloaded academic PDFs, but retrieval is limited to open-access or institution-authorized content. It cannot bypass paywalls or access literature outside your configured library permissions.
