paper-notion-summarizer
Fetch paper metadata by title or arXiv/DOI link, create a deep structured summary, and post it as a Notion page. The agent reads the paper and writes a seminar-quality summary adapted to the user's language.
Why use this skill?
Instantly transform complex research papers into structured, seminar-quality summaries saved directly to Notion. Supports multi-language and full-text analysis.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/lococaeco/paper-notion-summarizerWhat This Skill Does
The paper-notion-summarizer is a sophisticated research assistant designed for OpenClaw. It automates the transition from raw academic papers (PDFs or arXiv entries) to refined, seminar-quality structured summaries synced directly to your Notion workspace. Unlike basic summarization tools that perform simple extractive tasks, this agent reads the full paper content—parsing methodology, key equations, and experimental setups—to generate an original analytical summary. It natively supports multi-language adaptation, ensuring that the final output matches the linguistic nuances of your request, including technical terminology in the original language.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/lococaeco/paper-notion-summarizer
Ensure your local environment has the necessary permissions to read and write files within the /tmp/ directory, as the agent utilizes intermediate JSON files for parsing and summarizing phases.
Use Cases
- Research Tracking: Automatically summarize new releases from arXiv to keep up with developments in your field.
- Seminar Preparation: Generate concise, deeply structured notes for reading groups or journal clubs.
- Knowledge Management: Build a personal research database in Notion without manual data entry.
- Cross-Lingual Learning: Read papers in foreign languages and have them explained or summarized in your native tongue for better comprehension.
Example Prompts
- "Summarize the paper at https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.12345 and save it to my 'AI Research' Notion database."
- "Read the paper titled 'Attention Is All You Need' and create a structured summary in Japanese focusing on the transformer architecture."
- "Summarize the latest research on diffusion models from this arXiv link and highlight the key equations."
Tips & Limitations
- Fast Mode: If you are in a rush and only need a general overview, use the
--skip-fulltextflag to parse the abstract only. - Context Handling: For extremely long papers, the agent employs a chunking strategy. Be patient as it iterates through sections to ensure high-quality synthesis.
- Connectivity: Ensure your OpenClaw agent has internet access to retrieve files from arXiv or DOI resolvers.
