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

nano-pdf 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 6d 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

Kheish Compatibility

This skill is repo-local and stays inactive until explicitly activated.

When the original instructions refer to legacy tool names, use these Kheish mappings:

  • terminal => bash
  • web_extract => web_fetch, plus web_search when discovery is needed
  • search_files => grep_search and glob_search
  • browser_* tools require a browser-capable surfaced tool or MCP; if none is available, use the closest available surface and say so explicitly

When the instructions mention local helper files, resolve them from ${KHEISH_SKILL_DIR}.

nano-pdf

Edit PDFs using natural-language instructions. Point it at a page and describe what to change.

Prerequisites

# Install with uv (recommended — already available in Kheish)
uv pip install nano-pdf

# Or with pip
pip install nano-pdf

Usage

nano-pdf edit <file.pdf> <page_number> "<instruction>"

Examples

# Change a title on page 1
nano-pdf edit deck.pdf 1 "Change the title to 'Q3 Results' and fix the typo in the subtitle"

# Update a date on a specific page
nano-pdf edit report.pdf 3 "Update the date from January to February 2026"

# Fix content
nano-pdf edit contract.pdf 2 "Change the client name from 'Acme Corp' to 'Acme Industries'"

Notes

  • Page numbers may be 0-based or 1-based depending on version — if the edit hits the wrong page, retry with ±1
  • Always verify the output PDF after editing (use read_file to check file size, or open it)
  • The tool uses an LLM under the hood — requires an API key (check nano-pdf --help for config)
  • Works well for text changes; complex layout modifications may need a different approach

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.
