Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pdf scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 21d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

PDF

Read this plugin's skill file skills/pdf/SKILL.md and follow it. Carries PDF library reference (pypdf, pdfplumber, reportlab), CLI tools (pdftotext, qpdf, pdftk, pdfimages), pre-built scripts under scripts/ (form analysis and fill, bounding-box checks, page-to-image conversion, validation images), plus topic guides for forms, table extraction, OCR.

Common tasks

  • Extract text / tables from PDF
  • Create PDF, merge several, split into pages, rotate, watermark, password-protect
  • Analyze form's fields, fill from data, flatten
  • OCR scanned / image-only PDF
  • Batch-process many PDFs with proper exit codes

Skill auto-triggers on PDF work; this command = explicit entry point.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
