AI-powered tool for extracting structured data from scientific literature PDFs
AI-powered tool for extracting structured data from scientific literature PDFs
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Extract text from PDFs using Mathpix OCR or PyMuPDF Support for formula and table recognition
Use LLMs (Claude/GPT-4o/compatible APIs) to extract structured data from literature Automatically identify field types and data structures Support custom extraction rules and prompts
Markdown tables CSV files
Python 3.8+ pip package manager
Install Python dependencies (choose one method): Method 1: Using uv (Recommended - Fastest) # Install uv curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh # Create virtual environment and install dependencies cd /path/to/sci-data-extractor uv venv source .venv/bin/activate # Linux/macOS # or .venv\Scripts\activate # Windows uv pip install -r requirements.txt Method 2: Using conda (Best for scientific/research users) cd /path/to/sci-data-extractor conda create -n sci-data-extractor python=3.11 -y conda activate sci-data-extractor pip install -r requirements.txt Method 3: Using pip directly (Built-in, no extra installation) cd /path/to/sci-data-extractor pip install -r requirements.txt Configure API credentials: # Copy example configuration cp .env.example .env # Edit .env and add your API key # Get API key from: https://console.anthropic.com/ EXTRACTOR_API_KEY=your-api-key-here EXTRACTOR_BASE_URL=https://api.anthropic.com EXTRACTOR_MODEL=claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 EXTRACTOR_MAX_TOKENS=16384 Optional: Configure Mathpix OCR (for high-precision OCR): # Get credentials from: https://api.mathpix.com/ MATHPIX_APP_ID=your-mathpix-app-id MATHPIX_APP_KEY=your-mathpix-app-key

When users request data extraction: Understand requirements: Ask what type of data to extract Choose method: Use preset templates (enzyme/experiment/review) Use custom extraction prompts Execute extraction: python extractor.py input.pdf --template enzyme -o output.md Verify results: Display extracted data and ask if adjustments needed
Fields: Enzyme, Organism, Substrate, Km, Unit_Km, Kcat, Unit_Kcat, Kcat_Km, Unit_Kcat_Km, Temperature, pH, Mutant, Cosubstrate
Fields: Experiment, Condition, Result, Unit, Standard_Deviation, Sample_Size, p_value
Fields: Author, Year, Journal, Title, DOI, Key_Findings, Methodology
Users should set environment variables (optional, can also be in .env file): EXTRACTOR_API_KEY: LLM API key EXTRACTOR_BASE_URL: API endpoint EXTRACTOR_MODEL: Model name (default: claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929) EXTRACTOR_TEMPERATURE: Temperature parameter (default: 0.1) EXTRACTOR_MAX_TOKENS: Maximum output tokens (default: 16384) MATHPIX_APP_ID: Mathpix OCR App ID (optional) MATHPIX_APP_KEY: Mathpix OCR Key (optional)
Verify API key configuration before extraction Recommend users validate extracted data for accuracy Long documents may require segmented processing Remind users to cite original literature
Example command for enzyme kinetics extraction: python extractor.py paper.pdf --template enzyme -o results.md Example for custom extraction: python extractor.py paper.pdf -p "Extract all protein structures with PDB IDs" -o custom.md Example for CSV output: python extractor.py paper.pdf --template enzyme -o results.csv --format csv
