Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00039 | $0.01838 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00919 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00368 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00184 |
Grade A, and why
product-spec-pdf-parser scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/as:product-spec-pdf-parser — PDF Product Spec Parser
Harness note: use
/as:<skill>on Claude Code and$<skill>on Codex. Resolve<skill-root>as the directory containing this loadedSKILL.mdand<plugin-root>as the plugin root that containsskills/, and use equivalent native tools when host tool names differ.
Extract structured FF&E data from product PDF files — price books, fact sheets, configurator sheets, and spec sheets. Uses PyMuPDF for text extraction and Claude's reasoning to parse wildly varying PDF layouts into a standardized schedule.
Input
The user provides PDFs in one of these ways:
- File paths — one or more PDF file paths
- Folder path — a directory containing PDFs (will process all
.pdffiles) - Just invoked — ask the user for file paths or a folder
Also ask (or use defaults):
- Persistence — Markdown preview by default; optionally save to the project library
- Variant depth —
expand(one row per variant/SKU, default) orsummarize(comma-separated variants in one row)
Output Schema
Persistent products use the nearest project-root product-library.csv with no extra columns. Read ../../schema/product-schema.md and ../../schema/csv-conventions.md.
Skill-specific named values: Source is pdf-parser; Status is saved; Link, Thumbnail, Vendor, Sale Price, and Image URL are blank unless directly supported by the PDF.
PDF-specific data in Notes
PDFs contain fields that don't have dedicated master columns. Append these to Notes using | as delimiter:
- Variant:
Variant: Diamond, Black - Price Adder:
Price adder: +$130 (PostureFit SL) - Country of Origin:
Origin: Sweden - Source File:
Source: alphabeta-fact-sheet.pdf
Example Notes cell: Variant: Diamond, Black | Origin: Sweden | Source: alphabeta-fact-sheet.pdf
Variant Handling
Different PDF types require different approaches:
Fact sheets with SKUs (e.g., Alphabeta lamp)
- One row per SKU. Each shade shape × color = one row.
- Product Name stays the same across rows. Variant describes the distinguishing attributes.
- Example: "Alphabeta Floor Lamp" / Variant: "Diamond, Black" / SKU: "..."
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.
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.

product-spec-pdf-parser is a skill published in the GitHub repository AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects (353 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 1,838 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
