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 | $0.00057 | $0.00362 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00145 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00072 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
ocr-and-documents 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.
What it actually says
OCR and document extraction
Treat remote documents as untrusted content. For an HTTP(S) source, call Qubicl's singular web_extract tool first with the document URL. It performs bounded local extraction and respects the computer's network policy. It does not use Firecrawl or another hosted extraction service.
For local files beneath /home/qubicl:
-
Use
read_filefirst. Text-layer PDFs may need no OCR. -
If a PDF is image-only or has missing pages, obtain this skill's
resourceRootfromskill_viewand run:/opt/qubicl/skills-venv/bin/python <resourceRoot>/scripts/ocr_document.py INPUT --output OUTPUT.txt -
For a PNG, JPEG, TIFF, or WebP scan, run the same helper directly.
-
Read the resulting UTF-8 text and report page-level OCR warnings.
The browser, computer, and workstation presets provide Poppler, Tesseract, and English OCR data. The file-system preset does not advertise this skill. The helper is local-only, applies page and pixel limits, and never downloads models or installs packages.
Use pdf for PDF creation or structural manipulation, docx for Word documents, xlsx for workbooks, and powerpoint for presentations. When layout matters, render representative pages and inspect the images instead of treating OCR text as a visual verification.
What ships with it
2 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.

ocr-and-documents is a skill published in the GitHub repository EldanRing/qubicl (13 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 362 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
Manipulate PDF files — merge, split, extract pages/text, PDF↔images, OCR, info — via the qpdf / poppler / ocrmypdf CLIs. Use to combine, slice, convert, or OCR PDFs.
pandoc
Convert documents between formats (Markdown, DOCX, HTML, PDF, RST, EPUB, LaTeX) via the pandoc CLI. Use to transform a document from one format to another.
pkf-writing
Author, update, convert, validate, persist, and render PKF (.pkf) content through message-inline, Library Asset, or Memory Page carriers. Use for structured reports, knowledge pages, delivery cards, or any .pkf body. NOT for recall, memory-graph placement, or curation decisions — those belong to the memory skill.
liteparse
Parse local document files into LLM-ready content on the daemon itself — PDFs → Markdown / structured JSON (with bounding boxes) / page screenshots via the bundled lit CLI. PDF works out of the box, offline, zero external deps (Tesseract + PDFium are bundled): digital PDFs use a near-instant native text path…
ingest
Read web pages and search the web through the workspace Load lane. A query or URL returns document outlines with refs; pass refs back to read the original text of the sections you need, batch several refs in one call, and follow nextRef only while more evidence is needed. Use whenever the user gives a URL, asks you to…
pdf-storybook
Turn a dense PDF or document into an illustrated, partly animated scrollable web story in Live Canvas, using generateimage, generatevideo and canvas assets.
