This project, alaliqing/claude-paper, transforms research papers into interactive learning environments for Claude Code users. It automates material generation, code demonstrations, and provides a web viewer to accelerate research study and comprehension.

How It Works

The Claude Code plugin parses PDFs, extracts content, and analyzes paper complexity. It generates adaptive learning materials (summaries, insights, Q&A) and integrates code demonstrations, including Jupyter notebooks. A Nuxt.js web viewer offers an interactive interface for browsing, searching, and accessing all generated content and code.

Quick Start & Requirements

Install via the Claude Code marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add alaliqing/claude-paper
/plugin install claude-paper

Restart Claude Code to activate.

System Requirements:

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
• Claude Code (latest)
• poppler-utils (system package manager install)

The plugin automatically handles dependencies, directory setup (~/claude-papers/), and search indexing.

Highlighted Details

• Automated PDF parsing (metadata, full text).
• Intelligent content truncation (50k char limit).
• Code repository detection and integration.
• Adaptive learning material generation.
• Code demonstrations (Jupyter notebooks).
• Interactive web viewer with math support (KaTeX).
• Paper complexity and type detection.

Maintenance & Community

Limitations & Caveats

Features intelligent truncation for papers exceeding a 50,000-character limit. Requires poppler-utils and is dependent on the Claude Code environment.
