Prerequisites
MinerU API Token
- Visit https://mineru.net and register an account
- Obtain an API Token
- Set an environment variable (recommended):
bash
export MINERU_TOKEN="your_token_here"
Dependency Installation

Workflow
Step 1: PDF Parsing (Using MinerU API)
bash
python scripts/mineru_api.py <pdf_path> <output_dir>
Or pass the token directly:
bash
python scripts/mineru_api.py paper.pdf ./output YOUR_TOKEN
Output:
output_dir/*.md– Markdown files (including formulas and tables)output_dir/images/– High-quality extracted images
Step 2: Extract Paper Metadata
bash
python scripts/extract_paper_info.py <output_dir>/*.md paper_info.json
Step 3: Style Selection (Ask the User)
Before generating the article, you must ask the user to choose the following options:
1. Writing Style (Required)
| Style | Characteristics | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
| storytelling | Starts from intuition, uses metaphors and examples, narrative-driven | Blogs, tech columns, popular science |
| academic | Professional terminology, rigorous expression, preserves original concepts | Academic reports, surveys, research group sharing |
| concise | Straight to the point, tables and lists, high information density | Quick reads, paper overviews, technical research |
2. Formula Option (Optional)
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| with-formulas | Insert formula images and explain symbol meanings in detail |
| no-formulas (default) | Pure text description, no formula images |
3. Code Option (Optional, only if the paper has GitHub)
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| with-code | Clone the repository, include key source code, and explain it alongside the paper |
| no-code (default) | No code analysis |
Step 4: Intelligent Article Generation
