Imozuru

Imozuru is a Claude Code skill that explores unfamiliar fields down to original sources by following citations and links.

imozuru is a Claude Code skill designed for exploring unfamiliar topics from scratch. Instead of relying on a quick summary of top search results, it uses information-seeking models to map out key terminology, central figures, and relevant communities. It gathers references across multiple languages, saves original documents and transcripts locally, and avoids summarizing content so human readers can evaluate the evidence directly. The skill operates without making premature conclusions, verifying that extracted quotes match source files before halting. It requires Python 3.10 and optional command-line tools like pdftotext, yt-dlp, and tesseract for handling various document formats.
