What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents session-breaking “prompt too long” failures and avoids shallow, unreliable comprehension when reviewing long academic PDFs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- 4-page chunking with strict safety: Splits PDFs into 4-page pieces and enforces never reading the full PDF.
- Batched deep reading: Reads exactly 3 chunks at a time (~12 pages) to reduce skimming and keep outputs faithful to the document.
- Structured extraction into notes: Produces incremental
notes.md capturing research question, audience, method, data, statistical methods, findings, contributions, and replication feasibility.
Use case example: You need to summarize and extract replication-relevant details from a 40-page economics paper for a literature review; this Skill creates chunked PDFs and builds a structured notes.md you can reuse for writing and citation decisions.
Quick Start
Provide a local PDF path or a specific paper search query so the Skill can download it to ./articles/, split it into 4-page chunks, and start reading the first batch while updating notes.md.
