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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 16 executable files (scripts/_raster.py, scripts/extract_marker.py, scripts/extract_pymupdf.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PDF Skill

Create PDFs from structured specs, build and fill AcroForm forms (with layout linting and visual overlays), extract text/tables/metadata, merge/split/rotate/watermark/stamp pages, export page images, manage metadata and attachments, and encrypt/decrypt — using pypdf, reportlab, and pdfplumber. Two absorbed capabilities live in references/ (read the matching file before those tasks):

  • Scanned/image-only PDFs and OCR (pymupdf fast path, marker-pdf quality path, scripts/extract_pymupdf.py + scripts/extract_marker.py): references/ocr-extraction.md
  • Editing text inside an existing PDF via natural-language prompts (nano-pdf CLI): references/nano-pdf-editing.md

When to Use

  • Generate a report, invoice, or multi-page document as PDF.
  • Build a fillable AcroForm (text/checkbox/radio/dropdown) from a JSON spec, linting the layout first.
  • Pull text, tables (JSON/CSV), metadata, or form-field values out of a PDF.
  • Merge, split, rotate, extract page subsets, watermark, stamp text/images at coordinates, bookmark, or compress PDFs.
  • Export pages as PNGs for visual review or for OCR hand-off; set/clear document metadata; add/extract file attachments.
  • Fill or flatten AcroForm forms; encrypt or decrypt with passwords.
  • NOT for scanned/image-only PDFs (use references/ocr-extraction.md) and NOT for pixel-perfect HTML-to-PDF rendering (use a headless browser).

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+ with pypdf, reportlab, pdfplumber: python -m pip install pypdf reportlab pdfplumber
  • Optional, for page rasterization (pdf_page_image.py, overlay rendering): python -m pip install pypdfium2, or poppler's pdftoppm on PATH. Scripts fall back pypdfium2 → pdftoppm and report {"rendered": false, "missing": [...]} (exit 0) when neither exists.
  • Each helper script checks imports lazily and prints an install hint if a dependency is missing.

How to Run

All helpers live in scripts/ and are argparse CLIs — run them with the terminal tool; every one supports --help. They read/write JSON strictly as UTF-8, print JSON results to stdout, and exit non-zero on failure.

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.
