What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
ref-downloader
Use when the user asks to batch-download academic PDFs with ref-downloader — either ALL references of one paper (Mode A: DOI or PDF input), OR a custom batch of papers (Mode B: DOI/title/arXiv-PMID list, or abstract query like "Author X's recent papers"). Not for one-off PDFs, paper search, or Zotero import.
skills/ref-downloader/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
No skill matches that filter.
Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
