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.

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 | $0.00098 | $0.02398 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00039 | $0.00959 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00480 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00240 |
Grade A, and why
liteparse scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

LiteParse — Local Document Parsing
Overview
LiteParse is a fast, open-source document parser (Rust core, Python/Node bindings) focused on local, layout-aware text extraction with bounding boxes. It does not produce Markdown and does not call cloud LLMs. Outputs are plain text (layout-preserved) or structured JSON with per-page text_items (position, font metadata, optional confidence).
Version note: Examples target liteparse 2.0.0 (PyPI, May 2026). The upstream V1 branch is legacy; this skill documents V2 / main only.
For parser selection vs MarkItDown, the pdf skill, or LlamaParse, see references/choosing_a_parser.md.
When to Use This Skill
Use LiteParse when you need:
- Fast local parsing of PDFs or converted Office/image files without cloud dependencies
- Spatial text with bounding boxes for layout-aware RAG, citation grounding, or figure/table region logic
- OCR on scanned PDFs or images (bundled Tesseract, or a user-run HTTP OCR server)
- Page screenshots (PNG) for multimodal agents that must see charts, figures, or handwriting
- Batch ingestion of literature folders, supplementary PDFs, or protocol libraries
- Page subsets or password-protected PDFs
When Not to Use
| Task | Use instead |
|---|---|
| Markdown for LLM ingestion (EPUB, audio, YouTube, HTML) | markitdown skill |
| Merge/split PDFs, forms, watermarks, rotation | pdf skill |
| Dense tables, handwriting, production cloud pipelines | LlamaParse (cloud; sign up separately) |
Installation
uv pip install "liteparse==2.0.0"
This installs the Python bindings and the lit CLI. Verify:
lit --help
python -c "import liteparse; print(liteparse.__version__)"
Optional system tools (for non-PDF inputs):
- LibreOffice — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, CSV/TSV
- ImageMagick — PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WebP, SVG, etc.
Install commands are in references/ocr_and_formats.md.
What ships with it
6 files 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.

liteparse is a skill published in the GitHub repository dralkh/seerai (94 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 2,398 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 91% identical to liteparse, differing in 83 lines, and is treated as a copy.

mvp
Goal: Build an LLM-based RAG App Here is the MVP Implementation Plan.
markitdown
Converts heterogeneous documents and selected URIs to Markdown with Microsoft MarkItDown for text analysis, search, and LLM/RAG ingestion. Covers safe local conversion, streams, Office/PDF/data formats, batch workflows, plugins, vision OCR, Azure extraction, and the official MCP server.
surfsense-documents
Make or change a Word document (.docx), a PDF, a PowerPoint deck (.pptx) or an Excel workbook (.xlsx) by writing a Python script that surfsenserenderdocument runs, optionally starting from a source's own Word or PowerPoint file. Load it whenever the user asks for one of these, or for a change to one you made.
surfsense-pdf
Work on PDFs the user has, or PDFs in Studio, without changing them - merge, take out, split, turn or reorder pages, add a watermark, page numbers, a header or a footer, and list or fill a form's fields. Load it whenever the user asks for one of these on a PDF.
