Individual skill

food-fetch

Lawfully acquire the full text of academic articles so the research and review skills can read papers, not just abstracts. Routes each article through legal open access (Unpaywall/OpenAlex/PMC/arXiv), the user's own reference-manager library (EndNote/Zotero/Mendeley PDFs), and — only with the user's own logged-in institutional browser session — their library's entitled full text, then extracts the text and writes a manifest of what was and was not obtained. Open-access articles are always downloaded and read, never left at abstract-level. Never bypasses paywalls, DRM, or logins. Use to fetch PDFs for a reference list or DOIs, get full text behind a subscription the user is entitled to, or build a full-text corpus. Triggers: download these papers, get the full text, fetch the PDFs for these DOIs, retrieve full text for my reference list, access the article through my library, build a full-text corpus.

# Food-Fetch — Lawful Full-Text Acquisition

Turn a list of references or DOIs into **read full text**, so `food-research`,
`food-deep-research`, and `food-review` build their knowledge base from the actual
papers rather than abstracts. Original work; the routing/manifest architecture is
informed by the open-source `nature-downloader` skill (see the repo README
Acknowledgements). Legal-access-only, and **it never fabricates** — a paper that was
not obtained is recorded as not obtained, never summarized as if read.

## First-run setup — ask once, remember, remind if skipped
On the **first** run that needs full text, help the user set up access — this is what
decides whether the review reads real papers. Check
`python3 scripts/food_fetch_setup.py status` (exit 3 = not set up):
