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.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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.
