scribd-document

A tool for downloading every page of a Scribd document as an image. Scribd is an online service that hosts documents and books, and the tool reads the document’s embedded viewer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to archive or extract page images from a Scribd document when you have its URL.
Why use it?
It preserves the document pages as visual files and can use the user’s existing signed-in browser session when access requires it.

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.

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

scribd-document 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Download Scribd Document

Download all page images from a Scribd document via its embed view.

Browser — always gstack, never headless

Browser work goes through the gstack browser, which holds the user's logged-in sessions. A fresh Playwright instance is logged out: it silently returns login walls or truncated content that looks like a successful capture.

B="$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse"
"$B" connect        # run from the target directory — another cwd spawns a second
                    # daemon and kills the headed session
"$B" goto "<url>"
"$B" js '<expression>'

Do NOT disconnect when done. browse disconnect tears down the daemon and the logged-in sessions with it. Leave it running — the daemon is a shared user resource, connect is safe to call again, and only whoever started it should close it.

Never launch a headless browser. Not headless=True, not --headless, not a fresh chromium.launch(). If gstack is unavailable, stop and say so rather than falling back — a logged-out capture is worse than no capture, because it looks fine.

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS should contain: <url> [output_dir]

Instructions

Run the Scribd extractor script with a 10-minute timeout (large documents can take several minutes to scroll and download):

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/scribd_extractor.py $ARGUMENTS

IMPORTANT: When running this via the Bash tool, set timeout: 600000 (10 minutes).

If httpx or playwright are not installed, install them first:

pip3 install httpx playwright
python3 -m playwright install chromium

The script handles everything:

  1. Converts the Scribd URL to its embed form (/embeds/{id}/content)
  2. Drives the gstack browser (headed, via _browse.py) to the embed — never a headless instance, which would return a login wall for any gated document
  3. Reads the toolbar to detect total page count
  4. Scrolls through the document to trigger lazy loading of all pages
  5. Runs targeted scrolling passes for any pages that didn't load
  6. Downloads all page images as zero-padded .jpg files

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.

scribd-document is a skill published in the GitHub repository mayank-io/mstack (5 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 746 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
