paddleocr-skills-setup

paddleocr-skills-setup is a skill for Claude Code from Aidenwu0209/PaddleOCR-Skills. It costs 102 tokens per session (595 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An installation guide for adding PaddleOCR skills to coding agents. PaddleOCR reads text from screenshots, photos, scans, and PDFs, and can turn structured documents into Markdown or JSON.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps install and verify OCR and document-parsing skills, then prepare them for jobs such as converting images or PDFs to text, extracting tables, recognizing formulas, and analyzing page layout.
Why use it?
It removes the setup work needed before an agent can recognize text, including Chinese and other CJK writing, tables, formulas, and document layouts.

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

paddleocr-skills-setup 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 11d 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

Set up PaddleOCR Skills

Install and verify the two skills from the linked repository. Treat this setup skill as an installer guide; run OCR with the installed target skills.

Use this setup skill when the request mentions PaddleOCR installation or Agent Skills, or asks for 图片转文字 / 截图识字 / 扫描件 OCR / PDF 转 Markdown / 表格提取 / 公式识别 / 版面分析. It installs:

  • paddleocr-text-recognition for screenshots, photos, scans, PDFs, CJK text, line-level OCR, and optional bounding boxes.
  • paddleocr-doc-parsing for structured Markdown/JSON, tables, formulas, figures, multi-column layout, and correct reading order.

Install

  1. Confirm the user wants a global, user-level installation.

  2. Check Node.js/npx, Python 3.9+, and uv. Explain any missing prerequisite before using its official installer. Do not use sudo or change unrelated system settings without permission.

  3. Run:

    npx skills add Aidenwu0209/PaddleOCR-Skills --skill '*' -g -y
    
  4. Run npx skills list -g --json and confirm both paddleocr-text-recognition and paddleocr-doc-parsing, including their actual install paths.

Configure safely

  • Use https://www.paddleocr.com for the official API and token flow.
  • Ask the user to provide the OCR or document-parsing endpoint only when that target skill needs it.
  • Never invent, print, or store PADDLEOCR_ACCESS_TOKEN in chat, command history, source files, or logs.
  • Report incomplete configuration instead of claiming the OCR service works.

Finish

Report prerequisite versions, commands executed, installed skill names and paths, and any configuration still required from the user.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
