Before & after

Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.

PromptI have 40 research PDFs. Help me actually use them in Claude.
Beforegeneric AI agent
With 40 research PDFs, organizing them for use is key. Here are some approaches:

- Upload them to a tool that can process and search across documents
- Create summaries of each so you can quickly recall what's in them
- Extract key findings and organize them by theme
- Use a retrieval system so you can query across all of them

NotebookLM is one option — it's good at grounding answers in your source documents and providing citations. You could also use Claude's project knowledge feature to keep documents accessible across conversations.

The main challenge with 40 PDFs is retrieval — finding the right information when you need it without re-reading everything.

How are you currently organizing them?
Afterwith NotebookLM Skill
Community skill that wires NotebookLM-style research and note workflows
into Claude Code, so 40 PDFs become a queryable source set instead of 40
things you re-open.

WORKFLOW IT SETS UP
  1. Ingest — the PDFs become a structured source set, each one an
     addressable source rather than a blob of text.
  2. Grounded query — ask across all 40; answers cite the specific
     source and location, so you can verify rather than trust.
  3. Notes layer — findings you keep get written back as notes tied to
     their sources, so a conclusion always traces to its evidence.

WHAT THIS CHANGES vs. DUMPING 40 PDFs IN A PROMPT
  • Citations, not vibes. "Three papers support X" comes back as three
    named sources you can open, not an unsourced claim.
  • The context window stops being the limit. You query the set; you
    don't paste it.
  • Notes persist across sessions — a literature review you build over
    a week instead of rebuilding every conversation.

A REALISTIC FIRST QUERY
  "Which of these 40 disagree on [method], and what's each one's
  reasoning?"
  → returns the conflicting sources, cited, with the specific passage
    from each — the thing that takes an afternoon by hand.

SETUP NOTE
It's a community-built, open-source skill orchestrating NotebookLM-style
workflows — check its own README for exactly which NotebookLM surfaces
it connects to before you rely on it for a deadline.
