paper-researcher

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the repetitive and fragmented tasks involved in literature discovery and reading by searching for papers, downloading PDFs, converting them to text, and producing structured analyses ready to store in WPS notes.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-source search: Query arXiv and OpenAlex to find relevant papers with ranked results.
• Reliable PDF retrieval: Download PDFs with retries and integrity checks, and fall back to canonical arXiv links when needed.
• PDF → Markdown conversion: Convert PDFs to Markdown using markitdown or pymupdf and handle scanned/low-quality PDFs with graceful failure.
• WPS note integration: Save or append analyzed summaries into WPS notes via wpsnote-cli or MCP, enabling literature reviews and per-paper deep reading.
• Use case: Run a topic search, download top papers as Markdown, extract methods and results, and compile a literature-review note in WPS.

Quick Start

Use the paper-researcher skill to search arXiv for transformer attention, download the top result as Markdown, analyze its methods and results, and save the structured summary into WPS notes.
