A toolset for inspecting and extracting content from PDF files. It checks details such as page count, fonts, text layers, images, attachments, tables, forms, and scanned pages.

Use it to read PDF text, inspect page images and metadata, extract tables or attachments, examine forms, and investigate extraction problems.

It helps determine what a PDF contains before choosing an extraction method. It can also reveal when a document is scanned or damaged and may need image processing or OCR.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00115	$0.02738
Opus 5.5	$0.00046	$0.01095
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00023	$0.00548

Security

Grade A, and why

pdf-reading 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.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 309 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PDF Processing Guide

Overview

This guide covers essential PDF reading operations using Python libraries and command-line tools. For advanced features (pypdfium2 rendering, pdfplumber table settings, OCR fallback, encrypted/corrupted PDF handling), see REFERENCE.md.

Reading & Inspecting PDFs

Before doing anything with a PDF, understand what you're working with.

Content inventory

Run a quick diagnostic first. For simple tasks ("summarize this document"), pdfinfo + pdffonts + a text sample may suffice. For anything involving figures, attachments, or extraction issues, run the full set:

# Always: page count, file size, PDF version, metadata
pdfinfo document.pdf

# Always: does a text layer exist? No fonts → scanned/raster → see "Scanned documents"
pdffonts document.pdf

# If fonts are present: sample the text layer
pdftotext -f 1 -l 1 document.pdf - | head -20

# If figures/charts may matter:
pdfimages -list document.pdf

# If the PDF might contain embedded files (reports, portfolios):
pdfdetach -list document.pdf

This tells you:

Page count and size — how big is the job?
Font status — are any fonts present? An empty pdffonts table means the PDF is scanned or raster-only: pdftotext will return nothing, so skip straight to "Scanned documents" below. Fonts shown as not embedded ("emb: no") with custom encodings may produce wrong characters on extraction.
Text extractability — when fonts exist, does pdftotext return clean text, or is it garbled (broken encoding)?
Embedded raster images — are there photos or raster figures? (Note: vector-drawn charts from matplotlib/Excel won't appear — see "Extracting embedded images" below)
Attachments — are there embedded spreadsheets, data files, etc.?

Text extraction

pypdf for basic text:

from pypdf import PdfReader

reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
print(f"Pages: {len(reader.pages)}")

# Extract text
text = ""
for page in reader.pages:
    text += page.extract_text()

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.

Changes

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.
