PDF Reading
Parse downloaded PDFs into stable chunks before any analysis.
Workflow
- Read
docs/reference/pdf_manifest.json and process only downloaded records.
- Validate and parse each PDF with the repository parser.
- Chunk by page or section with stable
chunk_id values.
- Write
docs/reference/pdf_chunks.json.
- Prepare paper notes in
docs/reference/paper_notes/<paper_id>.md with page, quote, and chunk id for every important claim.
Guardrails
- Mark corrupted, missing, or low-text PDFs as incomplete instead of inferring content.
- Extract limitations and negative results, not only strengths.
- Do not let downstream novelty or score use claims without page, quote, and chunk id.
