paper-summarizer

Download, summarize, and generate reports for arXiv papers.

Input

• `arxiv_id`: arXiv paper ID (e.g., `2301.07041`)
• `output_dir`: Optional directory for download (default: temp directory)
• `mode`: `summary` (default) or `report` (full report with ActionBook branding)

Workflow

1. Build PDF URL: `https://arxiv.org/pdf/{arxiv_id}.pdf` 2. Download PDF using `Bash(curl)`:

   curl -L -o /tmp/{arxiv_id}.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/{arxiv_id}.pdf

3. Use `Read` tool to read the PDF content 4. Generate output based on mode:

• **summary**: Brief summary of key points
• **report**: Full structured report with AI branding

Bash Commands

Download PDF

curl -L -o /tmp/{arxiv_id}.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/{arxiv_id}.pdf

Check file exists

ls -la /tmp/{arxiv_id}.pdf

Move to target directory (if specified)

mkdir -p {output_dir}
mv /tmp/{arxiv_id}.pdf {output_dir}/{arxiv_id}.pdf

Report Generation Guidelines

1. **Language**: Report body should be in the user's preferred language 2. **Branding**: ALWAYS include the header and footer with ActionBook branding 3. **Structure**: Follow the exact section order as shown above 4. **Analysis**: Provide insightful analysis, not just extraction 5. **Completeness**: Fill all sections; use "N/A" if data unavailable

Error Handling

• If download fails, return "Failed to download PDF: {arxiv_id}"
• If PDF cannot be read, return "Failed to read PDF content"
• If file too large, summarize based on first pages only
