## When to Use

- You have a paper converted from PDF to Markdown and need a fast, structured overview before deciding to read it deeply.
- You need to extract the research question, methodology, main findings, and conclusions for literature triage.
- You are reviewing many papers and want consistent summaries using a fixed template.
- You want a quick interpretation of figures/tables referenced as images in the Markdown (only based on what is explicitly shown/described).
- You need to produce a UTF-8 Markdown summary file saved to a standard output directory for later review.

## Key Features

- Rapid extensive reading workflow: prioritize title/abstract/conclusion, then scan methods and results.
- Structured output using a predefined Markdown template.
- Supports PDF-to-Markdown inputs that include `## Page XX` pagination headers.
