PDF Reader
Use this skill whenever the key material is a local PDF.
When to use
- The task refers to a paper PDF, figure PDF, or scanned study material.
- The answer must rely on figure panels, legends, or methods beyond an abstract.
- The user asks what a figure or paper section is trying to show.
Workflow
- Read the PDF before answering from memory.
- Extract only the pages or sections needed for the current question.
- Tie claims back to page-level or section-level evidence when possible.
- Distinguish direct PDF evidence from interpretation.
- If the PDF is insufficient, ask for the highest-value missing material rather than generic follow-up.
