SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill removes the grunt work of reading cognitive science and neuroscience papers to tease out their experimental paradigms, acquisition settings, processing pipelines, and analysis steps, so researchers can immediately reuse those methods in structured skill form.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clarified extraction goals: Guides the user through confirming the desired methodological focus, paper suitability, expected outputs, and limitations before extraction begins.
  • Suitability filtering and candidate presentation: Distinguishes between actionable methods and background material, letting researchers choose which experimental designs or pipelines to capture.
  • Skill generation with verification: Extracts detailed parameters, cites source locations, and runs a self-verification checklist so every generated skill is reproducible and traceable.
  • Use Case: Hand it a PDF of an fMRI preprocessing paper, select the acquisition and pipeline candidates, and receive a ready-to-use SKILL.md with full citations.

Quick Start

Tell the skill to extract the methodological steps from the supplied cognitive neuroscience paper.

Frequently Asked Questions about Paper-to-Skill Extractor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract experimental methodology from a research paper PDF?

To extract experimental methodology from a research paper, provide the PDF to the Skill and it identifies experimental designs, acquisition settings, and processing pipelines, guiding you through confirming the focus before generating a reproducible template.

Can I generate a reproducible skill template from a cognitive neuroscience paper?

You can generate a reproducible skill template from a cognitive neuroscience paper by submitting the document; the Skill extracts analysis variants, cites source locations, and runs a self-verification checklist to ensure traceability.

How do I document fMRI preprocessing pipelines from PDFs for reuse?

Document fMRI preprocessing pipelines by uploading the PDF; the Skill filters actionable methods from background material, lets you select pipeline candidates, and outputs a structured file with full citations.

Does the Skill distinguish between actionable methods and background material?

The Skill distinguishes between actionable methods and background material during suitability filtering, presenting only the relevant experimental designs or processing pipelines as candidates for you to select and capture.

What are the limitations of extracting research paradigms from text sections?

A limitation of extracting research paradigms is that the Skill requires guided clarification to confirm paper suitability and expected outputs, meaning unclear text sections may need manual review before accurate method extraction can proceed.

Do I need to verify extracted processing pipelines manually?

You do not need to manually verify extracted processing pipelines entirely, as the Skill runs an automated self-verification checklist to ensure reproducibility and traceability before generating the final skill documentation.
