SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates reading scholarly papers and generating both a Markdown analysis and a visual card, streamlining literature review and presentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-paper workflow: accepts multiple sources (arXiv links, PDFs, or paper names) and processes them in parallel where possible.
  • Two-step pipeline per paper: first generate a Markdown analysis, then create a PNG card from that analysis.
  • Use Case: a researcher can read three papers in one go, get concise analyses and shareable cards for each.

Quick Start

Provide a list of paper sources (arXiv URLs, PDFs, or paper names) and ask the skill to read, analyze, and generate cards for each.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate markdown analysis and visual cards from arXiv papers?

Generating markdown analysis and visual cards from arXiv papers requires providing arXiv URLs, PDFs, or paper names. The skill processes each paper concurrently to output a Markdown analysis and a PNG card per paper.

Can I analyze multiple research papers concurrently in one workflow?

You can analyze multiple research papers concurrently by providing a list of arXiv links, PDFs, or paper names. The workflow processes each paper in parallel where possible to output analyses and cards.

Do I need py-paper and py-card installed to read papers and generate cards?

You need py-paper and py-card installed to read papers and generate cards. The skill requires these dependencies to run in native mode and execute its two-step pipeline without extra workflow wrappers.

What is the best way to automate literature review and presentation for research papers?

The best way to automate literature review and presentation is using a multi-paper workflow that reads scholarly papers and generates a concise Markdown analysis alongside a shareable PNG visual card for each document.

Does this paper analysis workflow support direct PDF file inputs?

This paper analysis workflow supports direct PDF file inputs. You can provide PDFs alongside arXiv URLs or paper names, and the skill will read them to generate a Markdown analysis and PNG card per paper.

Why does my paper analysis output a Markdown file instead of a visual card?

Your paper analysis outputs a Markdown file first because the skill uses a two-step pipeline per paper: it generates the Markdown analysis initially, then creates the PNG visual card from that analysis output.
