Workflow

1. Parse Arguments

Extract from user input:

Extract readable text, skipping page numbers and headers. Keep chapter titles, body text, dialogue.

Extract metadata for file naming:

1. Story Name: Extract from the PDF's parent directory name (e.g., /path/我的世界/chapters/file.pdf → 我的世界)
2. Chapter Number: Extract from filename pattern *-XX.pdf or content like 第X章 (e.g., 我的世界-03.pdf → 03)
3. Chapter Title: Extract from the first chapter heading in content (e.g., 第3章：迷宫里的真心话 → 迷宫里的真心话)

• 文明的最后一个变量_01_第一次接触.mp3

Rename command:

mv "<generated_file>.mp3" "<output_directory>/<STORY_NAME>_<CHAPTER_NUMBER>_<CHAPTER_TITLE>.mp3"
