System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
Inventory and review all PDFs in the current directory by OCRing non-searchable PDFs, mechanically extracting a _pdf_probe.md for summarization, and writing a human-friendly index note {{NOTE_NAME}}.md with one section per PDF and Obsidian-style links. It also moves inventoried PDFs into a dedicated attachments folder named "{{NOTE_NAME}} (attachments)".
Core Features & Use Cases
- Mechanical probe generation: creates _pdf_probe.md deterministically to support later delegation.
- Obsidian-friendly index: writes {{NOTE_NAME}}.md with per-PDF sections and links to attachments.
- Attachments management: moves inventoried PDFs into an attachments folder to keep originals organized.
Quick Start
Run the workflow with NOTE_NAME='YourNote' to inventory your PDFs in the current directory.
