How does the PDF matching work for Endnote?

The skill automatically parses internal-pdf links within Endnote XML files and matches them with files in your local .Data/PDF directory.

Does this skill support private Zotero collections?

Yes, by providing your Zotero API key and Library ID in the configuration, you can securely import private collections via the Web API.

Can I import papers without converting the PDFs to Markdown?

Yes, you can use the --no-convert flag to import metadata and PDFs while skipping the MinerU conversion and AI enrichment steps.

What is MinerU conversion in this context?

MinerU is an advanced tool used by the skill to transform complex academic PDFs into clean, structured Markdown that is optimized for AI processing and reading.

Imports and synchronizes academic libraries from Zotero and Endnote while enriching papers with AI-powered metadata extraction.

This skill integrates external reference managers like Zotero and Endnote into the Scholar All-In-One research terminal, automating the ingestion of complex academic libraries. It handles XML/RIS parsing, matches PDFs to metadata, and utilizes MinerU for sophisticated PDF-to-Markdown conversion. Beyond simple data entry, it employs LLMs to enrich documents with table of contents, abstracts, and structural summaries, while simultaneously updating semantic vector embeddings and full-text indices for advanced AI research workflows.
