Academic PDF → GitHub GFM Conversion

A battle-tested workflow for converting academic/research PDF papers into GitHub-renderable GFM markdown with inline figures, mathematically correct LaTeX, and validated output.

Battle-tested on: López de Prado (2026) "How to Use the Sharpe Ratio" — 51 pages, 82 equations, 8 figures.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
