Fuxi PDF

Fuxi PDF: Turn lecture slides and textbooks into source-cited study PDFs and printable cheatsheets.

Fuxi PDF is a Codex skill that converts provided lecture slides, textbooks, and exam notes into page-by-page teaching PDFs, compact cheatsheets, or detailed study materials. It connects original pages, explanations, formula conditions, and sources while keeping editable drafts for further edits. Users can choose page counts and language preferences such as English-only, Chinese-heavy explanations, or full bilingual options. It supports three main outputs including single-page formula sheets, detailed learning workbooks, and comprehensive exam references. The skill requires a Codex environment supporting local skills, Git, and a host capable of reading, compiling, and rendering PDFs like LaTeX or Typst.
