# PMC Official Literature Download Skill
## Skill Objective
Converge "download PubMed literature" requests into a single legal, traceable PMC workflow:
- First determine whether the article can actually be obtained through official PMC channels
- Only use officially permitted PMC services
- After downloading, retain source, license, and timestamp information for future reproducibility
The core of this skill is not "get any full text as fast as possible" but rather "only obtain legally accessible PMC content through officially permitted methods."
