What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you turn a research paper into structured, comparable notes by extracting 12 predefined reading elements and exporting them to an Excel file, saving you from manual outlining and cross-paper comparison.
Core Features & Use Cases
- 12-element structured paper analysis: Extracts background, research question type, conclusions, literature synthesis and critique, methods, theoretical framework, consistency/inconsistency findings, contributions, limitations, and future prospects.
- PDF/Word-friendly reading flow: Reads user-provided local paper files and falls back to text extraction for PDFs when direct reading is insufficient.
- Excel output for single and multi-paper workflows: Saves results into the same folder as the analyzed paper, supporting both one-paper and N-paper comparison exports.
Quick Start
Use the paper-analyzer skill to analyze the attached paper file and save the 12-element Excel breakdown to the paper’s folder.
