## 🔑 Key Features
### 1. analyze-paper.sh
**Purpose**: Extract structured information from research paper PDFs
**Features**:
- ✅ Supports both `pdftotext` (poppler) and `pypdf` parsers
- ✅ Caching: Downloaded PDFs are cached to avoid re-downloading
- ✅ Multi-section extraction: Abstract, Methods, Methodology, Approach
- ✅ GitHub URL detection: Automatically finds code references
- ✅ arXiv ID extraction: Identifies paper metadata
**Output Format**:
```json
{
"title": "Paper2Agent: Reimagining Research Papers...",
"arxiv_id": "2509.06917",
"abstract": "...",
"methods": "...",
"code_references": ["https://github.com/..."],
"extracted_at": "2025-11-09T05:04:00Z",
"parser": "pdftotext"
}
```
### 2. extract-code.sh
**Purpose**: Clone and analyze GitHub repositories
**Features**:
- ✅ Automatic language detection (Python, Rust, JavaScript, Go)
- ✅ Python API analysis: Extract function signatures and class definitions
- ✅ Rust API analysis: Extract public functions and structs
- ✅ Generic fallback: For unsupported languages
- ✅ Shallow clone optimization: `git clone --depth 1`
- ✅ Repository caching: Reuses existing clones
**Output Format**:
```json
{
"language": "python",
"repository": "alphagenome",
"statistics": {
"function_count": 42,
"class_count": 12
},
"sample_functions": [
{
"name": "predict_splice_site",
"signature": "predict_splice_site(sequence: str) -> dict",
"language": "python"
}
],
"analyzed_at": "2025-11-09T05:27:00Z"
}
```
### 3. generate-mcp.sh
**Purpose**: Generate MCP server definitions from paper and code analysis
**Features**:
- ✅ Automatic MCP naming: Converts paper title to kebab-case
- ✅ Tool schema generation: Maps code functions to MCP tools
- ✅ Python skeleton generation: Creates `mcp_server.py` template
- ✅ Requirements.txt creation: Dependency management
- ✅ README generation: Usage documentation
**Output**: MCP server JSON + Python implementation directory
**Example MCP Definition**:
```json
{
"name": "paper-alphagenome",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "MCP server generated from: AlphaGenome Paper",
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "paper_alphagenome.mcp_server"],
"tools": [
{
"name": "predict_splice_site",
"description": "Execute predict_splice_site from paper implementation",
"inputSchema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"input": {"type": "string"}
}
}
}
]
}
```
### 4. test-agent.sh

- ✅ Colored output: Green ✅, Red ❌, Yellow ⚠️ indicators
**Test Suite**:
1. MCP definition exists
2. MCP definition is valid JSON
3. MCP has required fields (name, version, tools)
4. MCP server script is importable
5. Paper analysis is reproducible

## 🚀 Quick Start
### Example 1: Convert AlphaGenome Paper
```bash
cd /Users/shunsuke/Dev/miyabi-private
# Step 1: Analyze paper
.claude/Skills/paper2agent/analyze-paper.sh \
https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.06917 \
> /tmp/paper-analysis.json
# Step 2: Extract code (replace with actual repo)
.claude/Skills/paper2agent/extract-code.sh \
--repo https://github.com/bioinformatics/alphagenome \
> /tmp/code-analysis.json
# Step 3: Generate MCP server
.claude/Skills/paper2agent/generate-mcp.sh \
--paper-analysis /tmp/paper-analysis.json \
--code-analysis /tmp/code-analysis.json \
--generate-impl
# Step 4: Test
.claude/Skills/paper2agent/test-agent.sh \
--mcp .claude/mcp-servers/paper2agent/paper-alphagenome.json \
--paper-analysis /tmp/paper-analysis.json \
--code-analysis /tmp/code-analysis.json
```
### Example 2: Local PDF File
```bash
.claude/Skills/paper2agent/analyze-paper.sh \
./my-paper.pdf \
> paper-analysis.json
```
### Example 3: Cached Repository
```bash
# Skip cloning, use existing repo
.claude/Skills/paper2agent/extract-code.sh \
--repo https://github.com/user/repo \
--no-clone
```

## 📈 Performance Metrics
| Operation | Time | Output Size |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| PDF Download | ~2-5s | Variable |
| PDF→Text Extraction | ~1-3s | ~500KB |
| Code Clone | ~5-30s | Variable |
| API Analysis | ~1-5s | ~10KB JSON |

## ⚠️ Known Limitations
### Phase 1 (Current)
1. **Manual Code Integration**: Generated MCP servers are skeletons - actual paper code must be integrated manually
2. **Language Support**: Detailed analysis only for Python/Rust; other languages get generic analysis
3. **PDF Parsing Quality**: Some PDFs with complex layouts may have extraction issues
4. **No Semantic Analysis**: Function mapping is syntactic only, not semantic
### Phase 2 (Planned)
- [ ] Automatic code integration using AST analysis
- [ ] Support for Julia, R, MATLAB
- [ ] Deep semantic mapping using LLM
- [ ] Example extraction and test generation from paper
- [ ] Automatic dependency resolution

## 🔗 Integration with Miyabi
### Agent Registration
Generated Paper2Agent agents will be registered in:
- `.claude/agents/specs/paper2agent/<agent-name>.md`
- Callable via `miyabi agent run <agent-name>`
### MCP Integration
- MCP servers registered in `.claude/mcp.json`
- Auto-start on first use
- Health checks via `miyabi mcp status`
### Git Workflow
Each paper conversion creates:
- Feature branch: `feature/paper2agent-<paper-name>`
- Issue: Auto-created with paper metadata (Issue #799)
- PR: Generated after successful tests

## 📝 Next Steps
### Phase 2: Integration & Testing
1. **Create Example Agent**: Convert arXiv:2509.06917 to working agent
2. **Full Pipeline Test**: PDF → Code → MCP → Agent → Execution
3. **Register MCP Server**: Add to `.claude/mcp.json`
4. **Create Agent Spec**: Document in `.claude/agents/specs/paper2agent/`
5. **Verify Execution**: Test agent can execute paper's methodology
### Phase 3: Documentation & Polish
1. **Usage Examples**: Add real-world conversion examples
2. **Tutorial**: "Converting Your First Paper to Agent" guide
3. **Best Practices**: Document common pitfalls and solutions
4. **Skill Registration**: Add to Miyabi Skills list

## 🐛 Troubleshooting
### PDF Parser Issues
**Problem**: `pdftotext: command not found`
**Solution**:
```bash
# macOS
brew install poppler
# Or use pypdf fallback
export MIYABI_PAPER2AGENT_PDF_PARSER=pypdf
pip install pypdf
```
### Code Analysis Fails
**Problem**: Repository clone timeout
**Solution**:
```bash
# Manual clone first
git clone https://github.com/user/repo ~/.miyabi/paper2agent/repos/repo
# Then run with --no-clone
.claude/Skills/paper2agent/extract-code.sh \
--repo https://github.com/user/repo \
--no-clone
```
### MCP Generation Empty Tools
**Problem**: No functions found in code analysis
**Solution**: The script falls back to generic tool. Manually review code analysis JSON and verify language detection was correct.
