Claude Code unified my workflow for doing research and writing engineering code

A user found that Claude Code unified their research and engineering code writing workflow. They explicitly instruct Claude Code to use the KolmoPDF API for processing papers into Markdown, as direct AI agent PDF reading is unreliable for multiple PDFs, formulas, and tables. By entrusting Claude Code with tool APIs, server connections, and credentials, the user can focus on problem-solving, freeing up their energy from incidental details, though this sometimes means asking Claude for their own credentials.
