ocr-and-documents

ocr-and-documents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MilkyWay008/Hermes-OTG. It costs 21 tokens per session (1,462 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ocr-and-documents, MIT.

A document-extraction tool for turning PDFs and scanned documents into text. It uses ordinary text extraction for digital PDFs and optical character recognition, or OCR, for scanned pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract text, tables, images, equations, code, and form content from local or online PDFs and scans.
Why use it?
It makes information in documents searchable and reusable, including documents whose pages are images rather than selectable text.

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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 174 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PDF & Document Extraction

For DOCX: see the docx skill (create/edit) or use python-docx for structured reads. For PPTX: see the powerpoint skill (full create/read/edit support). For PDF manipulation (merge, split, forms, watermarks, creation): see the pdf skill. This skill covers text extraction from 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

Feature pymupdf (~25MB) marker-pdf (~3-5GB)
Text-based PDF
Scanned PDF (OCR) ✅ (90+ languages)

Install size ~25MB ~3-5GB (PyTorch + models)
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."

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
