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

pdf-report-workflow-cli scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

PDF Report Generation with Command-Line Tools

When working with PDFs in minimal/containerized environments where Python libraries may be unavailable, this skill provides a complete end-to-end workflow: verify source PDFs, extract content, assemble structured reports, and generate final PDF output.

When to Use This Skill

  • Need to create new PDF reports from existing PDF sources
  • Need to verify, extract, and combine PDF content
  • Working in environments without Python PDF libraries
  • Building document assembly pipelines in CI/CD or containers

Complete Workflow Overview

[Source PDFs] → [Verify] → [Extract] → [Assemble] → [Generate Output PDF]

Phase 1: Tool Availability Check

# Core extraction tools (from poppler-utils)
which pdfinfo && echo "✓ pdfinfo available" || echo "✗ pdfinfo missing"
which pdftotext && echo "✓ pdftotext available" || echo "✗ pdftotext missing"

# PDF generation tools (choose based on availability)
which pdftk && echo "✓ pdftk available (PDF merging)" || true
which wkhtmltopdf && echo "✓ wkhtmltopdf available (HTML→PDF)" || true
which pandoc && echo "✓ pandoc available (document conversion)" || true
which enscript && echo "✓ enscript available (text→PS)" || true
which ps2pdf && echo "✓ ps2pdf available (PS→PDF)" || true

Install Required Tools

# Debian/Ubuntu - Core tools
apt-get update && apt-get install -y poppler-utils

# Optional: PDF generation tools (choose based on needs)
apt-get install -y pdftk          # PDF merging/manipulation
apt-get install -y wkhtmltopdf    # HTML to PDF
apt-get install -y pandoc         # Document conversion
apt-get install -y enscript ghostscript  # Text to PDF pipeline

# RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
yum install -y poppler-utils pdftk ghostscript
# or
dnf install -y poppler-utils pdftk ghostscript

# macOS (with Homebrew)
brew install poppler pdftk ghostscript
brew install --cask wkhtmltopdf  # GUI app, includes CLI

Phase 2: Verify Source PDFs

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.
