document-extract

document-extract is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DavidROliverBA/ArchitectKB. It costs 0 tokens per session (900 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A document-reading tool for extracting and analysing text from scanned documents, PDFs, photos, and document images. It can preserve headings, lists, tables, and other document structure while noting unclear text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process scanned reports, meeting notes, whiteboards, handwritten notes, and PDFs, then extract their text and analyse how the information is organized.
Why use it?
It removes the need to read or copy large amounts of document content manually, including text that is only visible in a scan or photograph.

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 4d 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

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.

document-extract is a skill published in the GitHub repository DavidROliverBA/ArchitectKB (52 stars, last pushed 6mo 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.
