ocr-and-documents

ocr-and-documents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from math-inc/OpenGauss. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,210 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ocr-and-documents, MIT.

A document-extraction skill for turning PDFs and scanned documents into readable text, including text found in images. It also handles DOCX files with a document parser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract text, tables, images, and structure from local or remote PDFs and scanned files.
Why use it?
It helps an agent work with documents whose text is difficult to copy, such as scans, tables, forms, equations, and code blocks.

About the project

OpenGauss is a project-scoped Lean workflow orchestrator that gives coding agents a command-line interface for managing formal proof and formalization tasks. It is used with Lean projects to coordinate agents, tooling, backend sessions, and workflows supplied by lean4-skills. The catalogue add-ons operate these Gauss-native workflows.

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

ocr-and-documents 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/extract_marker.py, scripts/extract_pymupdf.py), 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to ocr-and-documents — 55 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PDF & Document Extraction

For DOCX: use python-docx (parses actual document structure, far better than OCR). For PPTX: see the powerpoint skill (uses python-pptx with full slide/notes support). This skill covers PDFs and scanned documents.

Step 1: Remote URL Available?

If the document has a URL, always try web_extract first:

web_extract(urls=["https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.03300"])
web_extract(urls=["https://example.com/report.pdf"])

This handles PDF-to-markdown conversion via Firecrawl with no local dependencies.

Only use local extraction when: the file is local, web_extract fails, or you need batch processing.

Step 2: Choose Local Extractor

Speed Instant ~1-14s/page (CPU), ~0.2s/page (GPU)

Decision: Use pymupdf unless you need OCR, equations, forms, or complex layout analysis.

If the user needs marker capabilities but the system lacks ~5GB free disk:

"This document needs OCR/advanced extraction (marker-pdf), which requires ~5GB for PyTorch and models. Your system has [X]GB free. Options: free up space, provide a URL so I can use web_extract, or I can try pymupdf which works for text-based PDFs but not scanned documents or equations."


pymupdf (lightweight)

pip install pymupdf pymupdf4llm

Via helper script:

python scripts/extract_pymupdf.py document.pdf              # Plain text
python scripts/extract_pymupdf.py document.pdf --markdown    # Markdown
python scripts/extract_pymupdf.py document.pdf --tables      # Tables

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.
