liteparse

liteparse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Prismer-AI/PrismerCloud. It costs 173 tokens per session (2,244 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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

LiteParse (local-first document parsing)

LiteParse turns document files into text the model can read — on the daemon machine, offline, zero cloud dependency. It ships as the @llamaindex/liteparse npm package (CLI: lit) with PDFium and Tesseract bundled inside the package — the digital-PDF and scanned-OCR paths need no external system dependencies.

Upstream: run-llama/liteparse

Capability tiers — what works where

Tier Inputs External dep Status
1 — PDF digital + scanned PDF none (Tesseract + PDFium bundled) Default, out of the box — lit is baked into the daemon image
2 — Images PNG / JPG / TIFF / … ImageMagick Install on demand
3 — Office DOCX / XLSX / PPTX / ODT LibreOffice (~1GB) Install on demand

Only Tier 1 is guaranteed present. Tiers 2 and 3 pull large system dependencies that are deliberately not baked into the daemon image — install them yourself, only when the actual input requires it (see below). Do not assume they are already installed.

Tier 1 — PDF (default, ready to use)

lit is available on the daemon. Sanity-check once, quietly:

command -v lit && lit --version    # baked into the image

If (and only if) it is somehow missing, install the package locally — it is ~38MB with the OCR/render binaries bundled and installs in a few seconds:

npm i @llamaindex/liteparse && npx lit --version

Do not rely on the CLI "self-installing on first use" — that path is unreliable (npm permission / cache conflicts). Either it is baked in, or you install the package explicitly as above.

Native text path vs OCR — pick deliberately, cost differs ~10×

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.

liteparse is a skill published in the GitHub repository Prismer-AI/PrismerCloud (1,363 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 173 tokens to every session and 2,244 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
