pdf-convert

pdf-convert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from duc01226/EasyPlatform. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,523 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conversion tool for changing PDF files into Markdown, or Markdown into PDF. PDF is a fixed-layout document format, while Markdown is plain text with simple formatting marks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract PDF content into editable Markdown or turn Markdown documents into PDF files.
Why use it?
It avoids needing separate conversion paths for the two directions and checks required conversion dependencies first.

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-convert 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 18 executable files (scripts/convert.cjs, tests/dispatcher.test.cjs, to-markdown/scripts/convert.cjs, …), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex compatibility note:

  • Invoke $skill-name: load the registered .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md and execute it with Codex tools; no separate Skill tool or Claude mode switch is needed. Author .claude/**; mirrors are generated.
  • Track steps before execution and keep progress/evidence current. Explicit skill requests execute their protocol. Use the native question tool for required questions.
  • Map foreign tool names to available host capabilities. A name mismatch needs no approval; an actually unavailable required capability stops with its step/evidence and a user question before adaptation.
  • Subagent authorization: when a skill is user-invoked or AI-detected and its protocol requires subagents, that skill activation authorizes use of the required spawn_agent subagent(s) for that task.
  • Preserve protocol order unless the user approves a deviation. Workflows use $start-workflow: gates stay fixed; other steps may flex with logged reasons and evidence.

Quick Summary

Goal: Convert PDF to Markdown, or Markdown to PDF, through one entry point.

Summary: Select the required direction → probe its dependencies → install only if missing → convert → check JSON status and the output file. Native text extraction and PDF rendering are supported; scanned-PDF OCR is unavailable.

Workflow:

  1. Pick a direction — --to markdown (PDF in, Markdown out) or --to pdf (Markdown in, PDF out)
  2. Check that direction — probe its dependencies; each has its own package.json, so install only missing dependencies for the selected direction
  3. Convert — run scripts/convert.cjs --to <direction> with the direction's own options
  4. Output — the converter returns JSON with the success status and output path

Key Rules:

  • --to is required. There is no default direction — converting the wrong way silently is worse than an error.
  • Every other argument is passed straight to the chosen converter, so each direction keeps its own CLI.
  • Dependencies are per direction: --to markdown never pulls in the PDF renderer, and vice versa.

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).

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.

pdf-convert is a skill published in the GitHub repository duc01226/EasyPlatform (12 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 2,523 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-18.
