extract-tables

extract-tables is a skill for Claude Code from grahama1970/agent-skills. It costs 90 tokens per session (2,091 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A PDF table extraction tool that combines Rust image and geometry processing with several Python parsing methods. It sends table data to Polars, a data-processing library, and can choose or revise extraction strategies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract tables from PDFs, process the results with Polars, and select an extraction method for different table structures.
Why use it?
It offers an alternative to Camelot and can handle different table layouts through multiple parsing methods. Strategy checks help address tables that are extracted incorrectly.

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

extract-tables 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 29 executable files (build/setup.py, conftest.py, run.sh, …), 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.

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.
