What problem does it solve?
Manually reading and extracting key information from math-heavy or diagram-heavy PDFs is slow and error-prone, especially when equations and figures do not copy cleanly.
Core Features & Use Cases
- PDF triage before deep reading: Extracts page count, TOC (when available), per-page text length, image count, and estimated math density to decide what to extract vs. render.
- Hybrid comprehension for math and diagrams: Supports text extraction by page plus selective page rendering to images for accurate visual reading of equations and figures.
- Targeted search and lookup: Searches by regex or literal strings and then renders only the relevant pages to explain or summarize precise content with page references.
Use case: You have a lecture packet or paper and need the exact statement of a theorem or the explanation around “Theorem 3.2”; you can search to find the page and then visually read that page to avoid math rendering issues.
Quick Start
Run the pdf-reader skill on the provided PDF to triage it, selectively extract text, and render only the math/diagram-heavy pages for accurate reading and summarization.
