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.mdinstead 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.
