Sci-Extract — Scientific Extraction

Professional extraction of core insights and figures from scientific PDF papers.

Note: This skill includes contributions from two authors. See Copyright & License section for details.

Features

  • Core Insights: Automatically identify research problem, methodology, key results, innovations, applications, and limitations.
  • Review Literature Extraction: For reviews, surveys, systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and meta-analyses, extract the field scope, taxonomy, evidence base, consensus, disagreements, evidence quality, research gaps, and future directions.
  • Paper Harvesting: Given a DOI, PMID, PMCID, arXiv ID, title, or search query, pull complete metadata from every configured database, the native publisher XML, the full body text, and the figures, then write an agent-readable raw.md instead of leaving you to read a PDF.
  • Figure Detection: Fetch publication-resolution figures from the publisher, or crop figure regions from PDF pages when the publisher ships none.
  • Metadata Extraction: Parse title, authors, DOI, journal, and year.

Steps:

Step 1: Acquire the paper

Always read the paper fresh. Never rely on memory of the paper, even if the title looks familiar.
