What it does

Written by AI from the README

Syncs the Markdown and images that LLM for Zotero produces from MinerU PDF parsing into a local Obsidian vault, one way, for the collections you choose. Saves multiple sync rules and writes to raw/papers and raw/assets folders.

For people building an Obsidian LLM Wiki from their papers, this moves the parsed text over automatically instead of by hand. It does not run MinerU itself.
