# 4chan Reader

This skill allows you to catalog and extract threads from 4chan boards into structured text.

## Workflows

### 1. View Board Catalog
To see active threads and their reply counts on a board:
```bash
python3 scripts/chan_extractor.py catalog <board>

python3 scripts/chan_extractor.py thread <board> <thread_id> [output_root_dir] [word_limit]
```

medical-research-literature-reader-pro

3891
from openclaw/skills

A medical-research-native literature reading skill for users with clinical, bioinformatics, translational, and basic experimental backgrounds. Use this skill whenever a user wants to read, analyze, critique, or interpret a medical or scientific paper — whether they provide a PDF, abstract, DOI, PMID, or just a title. Triggers include requests like "analyze this paper", "critique this study", "is this a strong paper?", "give me similar studies", "prepare me for journal club", "help me understand this bioinformatics paper", "what are the weaknesses here?", or "turn this into a mind map". Also activate for any downstream deliverables such as journal club kits, comparison tables, PI decision briefs, replication starters, or follow-up experiment designs. Do NOT treat as a generic summarizer — this skill performs structured evidence-type classification, track-specific critical appraisal, interpretation-boundary judgment, and research-grade follow-up generation.
