**Turn a reading list into source-grounded notes, check a draft against them, and build a paper.**
- Reading list to notes, with every quote checked against its page in the source.
- A draft checked against those notes: uncited and unverified claims are flagged.
- A paper built as PDF, HTML or DOCX, after a bibliography check.
No API key, no server: it runs inside the assistant you already use (Claude Code, or Codex through an adapter). Early-stage, version 0.2.0.
Formerly research-kit. Upgrading? Remove the old plugin first; see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md#upgrading-from-research-kit).

Install
In Claude Code (Git must be installed to download the plugin this way; the [ZIP route](INSTALL.md#codex-adapter) needs none):
/plugin marketplace add nik110403/provenote
/plugin install provenote@provenote
Reading or loading a skill does not execute any tool by itself; tools run only when the assistant calls them.
Check your setup: run `doctor` ([how](docs/doctor.md)). Missing `pdftotext` or `pandoc`? Run `scripts/install-deps.sh` (macOS/Linux) or `scripts/install-deps.ps1` (Windows); details in [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md#install-the-external-tools-one-command). Then ask Claude to start a research project, search the literature, or verify notes.
