Overview
About This Skill
paper-craft-skills automates the conversion of academic papers into three polished outputs: method figures (paper-comic), visual slide decks (paper-deck), and in-depth articles (paper-analyzer). The skill reads full papers, searches GitHub for implementations, and generates publication-grade visuals and HTML articles with formula rendering and code cross-reference. It works with arXiv links or local PDFs, requires zero API keys, and offers multiple styles—from journal-minimal to sketchnote—letting researchers, students, and technical teams transform papers into shareable, presentation-ready formats in seconds.
How to Use
Copy 'Please install zsyggg/paper-craft-skills for me' into Claude Code or Cursor, or run 'npx skills add zsyggg/paper-craft-skills' in your terminal. Use /paper-comic, /paper-deck, or /paper-analyzer with an arXiv link, local PDF path, or pasted text. Choose your style and scope, then confirm to generate.
Use Cases
Generate publication-grade method figures and architecture diagrams from papers
Create visual slide decks for thesis defenses and research presentations
Write deep-dive technical articles with formula breakdowns and code alignment
Convert papers into approachable study notes with sketchnote illustrations

Example Output
# Academic Paper Summary: The Impact of AI on Healthcare ## Methodology - Conducted a meta-analysis of 50+ studies from 2015-2023 - Focused on AI applications in diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient monitoring - Used systematic review methodology with PRISMA guidelines ## Key Findings - AI improved diagnostic accuracy by an average of 15% across all medical specialties - AI-driven treatment plans reduced hospital readmission rates by 22% - Patient monitoring AI systems decreased critical care response times by 30% ## Implications for Healthcare - AI integration can significantly improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency - Requires careful implementation to address data privacy and ethical concerns - Suggests a need for standardized AI training programs for medical professionals ## Comic Strip Summary  **Panel 1:** Doctor: 'AI, help me diagnose this patient's symptoms.'  **Panel 2:** AI: 'Based on symptoms and medical history, likely condition is X. Recommended tests: A, B, and C.'  **Panel 3:** Doctor: 'Following AI's recommendations, I'm prescribing treatment Y.'  **Panel 4:** Patient: 'I feel much better already! Thanks, Doc!'
