What problem does it solve?
This Skill streamlines the MCM/ICM PDF workflow by enabling fast extraction of text, equations, and tables from academic papers, as well as reliable merging of the final submission PDF with the code appendix and validation of formatting constraints.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Literature Review Support: Extract textual content, equations, and tabular data from PDFs to inform model development and literature synthesis.
- Submission Assembly & Validation: Merge control sheet, main paper, and code appendix into a single final PDF and verify page limits and basic formatting requirements.
- Operational Guidance: Provides ready-to-use Python snippets to perform common tasks (extraction, merging, validation).
Quick Start
Use the pdf skill to extract text from a target paper and prepare a merged final submission by attaching the code appendix and running the validation checks.
