pdf-inspection

pdf-inspection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cxcscmu/SkillLearnBench. It costs 22 tokens per session (303 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python guide for examining interactive PDF forms and listing their fields, types, and current values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect text fields, checkboxes, dropdowns, radio buttons, and signature fields in PDF files.
Why use it?
It helps reveal how a PDF form is structured before you try to read or fill it programmatically.

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-inspection 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 2d 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 Inspection Skill

This skill covers how to identify and list form fields in a PDF document using the pypdf library.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.x
  • pypdf library (pip install pypdf)

Usage Patterns

Listing All Fields

To list all fields and their types:

import pypdf

def list_pdf_fields(file_path):
    reader = pypdf.PdfReader(file_path)
    fields = reader.get_fields()
    if not fields:
        print("No fields found.")
        return
    
    for name, field in fields.items():
        field_type = field.get("/FT")
        print(f"Field Name: {name}, Type: {field_type}")

list_pdf_fields("document.pdf")

Understanding Field Types

  • /Tx: Text field
  • /Btn: Button (checkbox or radio button)
  • /Ch: Choice field (dropdown or list box)
  • /Sig: Signature field

Identifying Checkbox Values

Checkboxes often use "Off" and another value (like "Yes" or "On"). You can find these in the /AP or /V keys if they have a value.

field_props = reader.get_fields()["field_name"]
print(field_props.get("/V")) # Current value
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.
