Academic paper summarizer for papers, research articles, and scholarly publications. Structured summaries with citations, thesis, conclusions, methodology, implications, and critical analysis. Triggers on "summarize this paper", "summarize this research", "academic summary", "/academic-summary", "quick academic summary", "brief paper summary", and "/academic-summary quick".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Academic Paper Summary Use this skill **only for academic papers, research articles, and scholarly publications** (peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, working papers, preprints, dissertations). For non-academic content (news articles, blog posts, videos, podcasts, general web content), use the **summary-general** skill instead. ## Input Handling - **PDF attachments**: Prefer an existing `<basename>_text.md` extract at any size (read the extract, not the PDF). Otherwise check the page count: **4 pages or fewer** read the PDF directly; **more than 4 pages** split with the split-pdf skill into 4-page chunks and read them in a subagent that writes `notes.md`, then read `notes.md` as text in the main thread. Reading a long PDF this way keeps the source out of the main context window and avoids shallow comprehension. When this skill is driven by a parent workflow (for example, a slides pipeline) that feeds pre-extracted text, summarize that text directly; the page gate applies only to the standalone PDF path. - **TXT attachments**: Read the full document before summarizing. - **Web links**: Fetch and extract the article content. - **Pasted text**: Process directly. …

How to install
mdr add ai-business-tools/claude-code/summary-academic@sha256:1fd4a68ac662bd94The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.80a4dcd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
