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

paperlab_source_pdf_to_html 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

Skill: PaperLab Source PDF to HTML

Purpose

Convert or plan conversion of source PDFs into clean, searchable HTML for PaperLab books. Use this when lecture PDFs, public reports, exam PDFs, or standards excerpts need to be searchable by agents and linked to chapter figures, captions, and source manifests.

Inputs

  • Book directory with source_manifest.json, or a --source-root folder.
  • PDF files from lectures, exercises, exams, public reports, or approved reference documents.
  • Optional OCR output for scanned/image-only PDFs.

Workflow

  1. Inventory source files with book-source-inventory.
  2. Run python paperflow.py book-source-pdf-html-plan <book_dir> to create a conversion manifest.
  3. Convert PDFs using the selected local converter. A robust converter should:
    • preserve the source PDF,
    • extract text and images,
    • fall back to OCR or PyMuPDF when table-heavy PDFs fail,
    • write HTML under an _HTML/ folder next to the source category.
  4. Feed converted HTML and extracted images into technical_figure_understanding and figure_dossier.json.

Output

  • source_pdf_html_plan.json
  • source_pdf_html_plan.md
  • Converted HTML files and extracted resources when the conversion script is run.

Quality Checks

  • Count converted PDFs against the plan.
  • Flag PDFs with very low extracted text length for OCR.
  • Do not silently drop pages or figures.
  • Record source path, output path, page count, text length, image count, and extraction method when the converter supports it.

Safety Rules

  • Never delete or overwrite source PDFs.
  • Do not publish converted HTML for non-public or licensed material unless that is explicitly allowed.
  • For standards, extract only metadata or allowed excerpts unless the standard's license permits broader reproduction.

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.
