Make your PDF library usable for writing and citation recall
You have "organized" folders and notes, but pulling everything together for writing still takes days. This recipe converts scattered paper notes into a synthesis-ready document — themes, key claims, and where each citation supports your argument.
Create a skill called "Synthesis Notebook Builder". Inputs (ask for what exists): - Notes text (paste) OR Zotero/RIS/BibTeX export OR folder structure description - Target output type (lit review / intro / grant background / systematic review synthesis) - Preferred synthesis structure: themes, chronology, methods, debates (if unknown: unspecified) Output: - A synthesis notebook (outline) with: - Theme headings - Bullet claims with supporting citations - Gaps/contradictions list - A "citation recall index" for fast retrieval. Constraints: - Do not fabricate citations; if a paper is missing, mark as unspecified and leave a placeholder.
This recipe creates a synthesis layer that sits above your PDFs and citation folders.
Instead of hunting for "that paper about X," you query a structured notebook that
maps themes to evidence to citations.
Turn an overwhelming reading backlog into a prioritized plan
Too many papers, too little time, no reliable way to decide what to read next. This recipe builds a time-boxed, prioritized reading queue for any topic, project, or thesis chapter — with a built-in "rabbit-hole safe" capture channel for questions to research later.
Start writing today with an outline that becomes a draft
You have ideas and papers but no structure and no momentum. This recipe produces a section-by-section skeleton, then runs short drafting sprints to turn it into a rough draft you can actually send to your advisor.
