liteparse

liteparse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Prismer-AI/PrismerCloud. It costs 90 tokens per session (1,835 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local document parser that turns PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, presentations, and images into Markdown, structured JSON, or page screenshots. It runs on your machine without cloud services or an AI model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract text from local documents, read scanned pages, inspect spreadsheet or presentation content, obtain structured data, or capture document-page screenshots.
Why use it?
It lets an agent read files when network access is unavailable or when documents should stay local. It also supports OCR, which extracts text from scanned images, and can preserve page positions with bounding boxes.

About the project

Prismer Cloud is an infrastructure layer for AI agents that provides shared learning, compressed context, persistent memory, collaboration, messaging, tasks, identity, and workspaces. It is for agents and the people building or using long-running agent systems that need information and outcomes to persist across sessions. The catalogue entries provide skills, hooks, agents, instructions, and a plugin for using Prismer Cloud.

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

liteparse 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 9d 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.

LiteParse (local-first document parsing)

LiteParse is a standalone OSS parser (Rust core, PDFium + Tesseract + LibreOffice) that turns documents into text the model can read — fully local, zero cloud dependency, works with no network. It is the daemon's local-first document-parsing path.

Upstream: run-llama/liteparse

  • skill run-llama/llamaparse-agent-skills. Apache-2.0 (core) / MIT (skill), © LlamaIndex. Vendored as a Prismer built-in; the CLI (lit) self-installs on first use (see below).

Scope — liteparse vs ingest

Two document paths coexist; pick by network + fidelity needs:

  • liteparse (this skill) — local-first. Local document files → Markdown / JSON / screenshots, fully offline, zero cost, zero cloud. Covers PDF, Word, PowerPoint, spreadsheets, images. Built-in Tesseract OCR for clean scans; LibreOffice for Office formats. Default for: files already on disk, offline / cloud-unreachable situations, digital PDFs, quick extraction, bounding boxes, page screenshots.
  • ingest (sibling skill) — cloud-backed. cloud load / cloud search for web URLs (HQCC compression) and cloud parse for hi-res OCR of scans / handwriting / dense tables. Use when: the source is a web page (liteparse can't fetch URLs), or local parsing quality is insufficient (dense tables, multi-column, handwriting, low-quality scans).

Decision rule: local file → try liteparse first (free, offline, fast). Escalate to ingest's cloud parse -m hires only when local fidelity falls short. Web URL / search → ingest (liteparse parses local files and stdin, not remote pages — if you only have a URL, curl -sL <url> -o file then parse the local copy, or route to ingest).

When local parsing is low-confidence (empty pages, garbled OCR), flag the region and consider escalating to ingest; never invent content.

liteparse is a skill published in the GitHub repository Prismer-AI/PrismerCloud (1,439 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 1,835 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
