// Academic research assistant for literature reviews, paper analysis, and scholarly writing.
Search traceable academic papers, download legally accessible PDFs from arXiv and open-access sources, convert PDFs or page images to Markdown with a PaddleOCR layout-parsing API (or local pdfminer fallback), and organize the results into an AI-readable literature library. Use when Claude Code needs to build a paper corpus, batch OCR PDFs to Markdown, ingest real literature into a knowledge base, fetch arXiv or Hugging Face paper leads, or turn a directory of papers into structured Markdown plus metadata.
Delegate complex coding tasks to Claude Code CLI

Generates 2-4 candidate research directions from survey results, presents them with pros/cons for user selection, and converges to a publishable angle.

User Request: "Summarize research on spaced repetition for learning"
Response:
Spaced repetition is a learning technique where review sessions are distributed over increasing time intervals. Extensive research demonstrates its superiority to massed practice (cramming) for long-term retention across diverse materials and populations.
