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

document-extract 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 1mo 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.

Instructions

This skill uses Sonnet model sub-agents for comprehensive document analysis and text extraction.

Phase 1: Document Loading

  1. Verify the file exists at the specified path
  2. Identify document type (PDF, image, photo of document)
  3. Note any context about document purpose

Phase 2: Comprehensive Analysis (Sonnet Sub-Agents)

Launch these sub-agents using model: "sonnet":

Agent 1: Text Extraction (Sonnet)

Task: Extract all text content from the document
- Read the file using the Read tool
- Perform comprehensive OCR on all visible text
- Preserve structure (headings, paragraphs, lists)
- Handle multiple columns if present
- Extract text from tables maintaining structure
- Note any text that is unclear or uncertain
Return: Complete text extraction with structure preserved

Agent 2: Structure Analysis (Sonnet)

Task: Analyse document structure and formatting
- Read the file
- Identify document type (letter, form, spec, notes, etc.)
- Map section hierarchy
- Identify tables, lists, and special formatting
- Note headers, footers, page numbers
- Identify logos, stamps, signatures
Return: Document structure map

Agent 3: Content Classification (Sonnet)

Task: Classify and categorise the content
- Read the file
- Determine document purpose
- Identify key entities (people, projects, dates, systems)
- Extract action items or tasks
- Find decisions or commitments
- Note any deadlines or dates mentioned
- Identify references to YourOrg projects or systems
Return: Classified content with entity extraction

Agent 4: Quality Assessment (Sonnet)

Task: Assess extraction quality and completeness
- Read the file
- Evaluate image/scan quality
- Identify areas with low confidence extraction
- Note any missing or obscured content
- Assess if re-scan might be needed
- Check for multiple pages
Return: Quality report with confidence scores

document-extract is a skill published in the GitHub repository DavidROliverBA/ArchitectKB (53 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 900 tokens. 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.
