What is the Academic Paper Finder skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that automates the process of finding, screening, and reading academic papers for research and development projects.

Are there any dependencies for this skill?

The PDF chunker script requires the pypdf library, which can be easily installed using 'uv add pypdf' or 'pip install pypdf'.

Does it support non-AI academic fields?

Yes, while the prioritization logic is optimized for ML/AI venues like NeurIPS and ICLR, the search functionality can be used for any research topic across various academic disciplines.

How does the PDF chunking feature help?

It splits large research PDFs into smaller, page-specific files. This preserves the original formatting perfectly while allowing the AI to process the document more efficiently without losing context.

What is the difference between fast and diligent search modes?

Fast mode provides a quick scan for immediate needs, while diligent mode performs a thorough, multi-stage search recommended for comprehensive literature reviews.
