What cnki-download does

Give the skill a paper URL, or open the paper page in the browser first. It navigates to a supplied URL with navigate_page, then uses evaluate_script to inspect the page and trigger a PDF or CAJ download. If you do not choose a format, it tries an available PDF link first, then CAJ.

The result includes the paper title and format; find the file in Chrome’s download manager. A visible captcha requires manual completion in Chrome. The download cannot start unless the CNKI account is signed in and has download permission.
