note-writer

Structured notes from academic papers use templates to enforce consistent formatting, metadata extraction, and citation management. This Skill generates Markdown notes with author, year, journal, DOI, objectives, and results automatically pulled from source material, eliminating manual reformatting.

Citation formatting is built into the note-writing process. The Skill extracts bibliographic metadata—authors, publication year, journal, DOI—and formats consistent references within your Markdown output, so citations stay synchronized with your notes.

Templates support single-paper literature notes, comparative analyses across multiple sources, and topic-oriented summaries. Each template enforces structure for knowledge capture, ensuring consistent key-point extraction and organization regardless of source type.

Source material should be processed with a PDF reader or content extraction tool first. The Skill accepts prepared content and applies the template to generate structured Markdown notes, so upstream extraction determines input quality and completeness.

Yes. The Skill supports comparative analyses across multiple sources, automatically extracting objectives and results from each paper and organizing them within a template structure for side-by-side review and synthesis.

Generated notes export as Markdown files, preserving template structure, extracted metadata, citations, and formatted key points in a portable, plaintext format suitable for further editing, sharing, or conversion to other document types.
