Instructions for using Emboss, a service that turns flat or scanned PDF forms into fillable forms and fills them with provided data. It also supports filling forms from documents or notes and processing spreadsheet rows in batches.

Use them to create fillable PDFs, fill forms from values or context, process one form per spreadsheet row, inspect existing forms, and check usage.

They specify which operation to use, prevent invented field values, and explain setup, usage limits, and billing before form work begins.

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.

Any agent

npx skills add GetEmboss-ai/emboss-claude-plugin --skill emboss

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/GetEmboss-ai/emboss-claude-plugin

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Or install emboss, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 2 skills, 3 commands, 1 MCP server.

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	$0.00087	$0.01287
Opus 5	$0.00044	$0.00643
Sonnet 5	$0.00017	$0.00257
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00129

Security

Grade A, and why

emboss 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 4d 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.

Emboss

Emboss turns flat PDF forms into fillable AcroForm PDFs and fills them from values, from documents or notes, or from a spreadsheet. Every operation is billed to the user's Emboss account. The first 5 form creations, 5 context fills, and 5 standard fills each month are free; free operations are limited to 5-page forms. If Emboss tools are missing or a tool returns insufficient_scope / unauthenticated, see SETUP.md in this folder, or the emboss-setup skill in Claude Code.

Which tool

User wants	Tool sequence
Make a flat PDF fillable	`create_form`, then `get_form`
Fill a form from values you already have	`get_form` (to see fields), then `fill_form`
Fill a form from a document, notes, or pasted text	`fill_form_from_context`, then poll `get_job`
Fill one form per row of a spreadsheet/CSV	`suggest_mapping`, confirm the mapping with the user, then `fill_batch`, then poll `get_batch`
Check remaining free operations or billing	`get_usage`
Reuse a form already uploaded	`list_forms` first, instead of `create_form`

Rules

Never invent field values. Only fill what the user gave you, or what a context document/CSV actually says.
When fill_form returns unmatched, show the user those labels and ask what to do with them; do not guess.
For choice fields, pick one of the options get_form returned (its label or value) rather than free text.
For checkboxes, pass yes or no.
fill_form_from_context, fill_batch, and get_batch can take a while. Poll get_job / get_batch about every 20 seconds and tell the user it is still running rather than going quiet.
Present every download_url as a plain link the user can click.
On a 402, relay the tool's message and point at billing_url: for over_free_tier explain that this month's free forms are used up; for over_page_cap explain that the form is over the 5-page free limit and a payment method is needed to continue.
On unsupported_file, tell the user to export the document to PDF first; Emboss only accepts PDFs.
Never paste long context text back into the chat. Summarize what was sent (e.g. "sent the 2-page intake note as context") instead of quoting it in full.
Only call delete_form when the user explicitly asks to delete a form. It is permanent.

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.
