PDF Text Extractor

Optionally collect full-text snippets to deepen evidence beyond abstracts.

This skill is intentionally conservative: in many survey runs, abstract/snippet mode is enough and avoids heavy downloads.

Inputs

  • papers/core_set.csv (expects paper_id, title, and ideally pdf_url/arxiv_id/url)
  • Optional: outline/mapping.tsv (to prioritize mapped papers)

Outputs

  • papers/fulltext_index.jsonl (one record per attempted paper)
  • Side artifacts:
    • papers/pdfs/<paper_id>.pdf (cached downloads)
    • papers/fulltext/<paper_id>.txt (extracted text)

Decision: evidence mode
