SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

For researchers, deeply analyzing a single paper is time-consuming and risks missing key insights. This Skill automates the process by generating three Markdown note versions and a Canvas visualization to help extract motivation, methods, results, and conclusions quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three note versions: Logic-focused, plain-language, and structured summaries covering motivation, approach, and experiments.
  • Canvas visualization: Visualizes the research logic chain to clarify relationships and flows.
  • Broad applicability: Supports arXiv, arbitrary PDF links, and local PDFs for flexible workflows.
  • Output format: Produces梳理.md, 梳理(结构).md, 通俗易懂.md, and 可视化.canvas with optional image assets.

Quick Start

Run the analysis on a specified paper to automatically generate three note versions and a Canvas visualization.
