llamaparse

llamaparse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from run-llama/llamaparse-agent-skills. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,639 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for extracting text, Markdown, images, or other content from unstructured files such as PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, and spreadsheets. Unstructured files are documents whose information is not already arranged as simple database fields.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to parse one or more PDF, PPTX, DOCX, or XLSX files and specify how their contents should be extracted.
Why use it?
It provides a way to turn complex documents into content that can be searched, read, or processed further.

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

llamaparse 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/example.ts), 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.

LlamaParse Skill

Parse unstructured documents (such as PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX) with LlamaParse and extract their contents (text, markdown, images...).

Initial Setup

When this skill is invoked, respond with:

I'm ready to use LlamaParse to parse files. Before we begin, please confirm that:

- `LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY` is set as environment variable within the current environment
- `@llamaindex/llama-cloud@latest` is installed and available within the current Node environment

If both of them are set, please provide:

1. One or more files to be parsed
2. Specific parsing options, such as tier, API version, custom prompt, processing options...
3. Any requests you might have regarding the parsed content of the file.

I will produce a Typescript script to run the parsing job and, once you approved its execution, I will report the results back to you based on your request.

Then wait for the user's input.


Step 0 — Install llama-cloud (optional)

If the user does not have the @llamaindex/llama-cloud package installed, add it to the current environment by running:

npm install @llamaindex/llama-cloud@latest

Step 1 — Produce a Typescript Script

Once the user confirms the environment variables are set and provides the necessary details for the parsing job, produce a typescript script.

As a source of truth for the TS script, you can:

  • Refer to the example.ts script, which covers most of the necessary configurations for LlamaParse
  • Refer to the complete LlamaParse Documentation, fetching the https://developers.llamaindex.ai/python/cloud/llamaparse/api-v2-guide/ page.

Scripting Best Practices

Follow these guidelines when generating scripts:

1. Always Use the Top-Level LlamaCloud Client

Use LlamaCloud (the API client) for all parsing operations:

import LlamaCloud from "@llamaindex/llama-cloud";

// Define a client
const client = new LlamaCloud({
  apiKey: process.env["LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"], // This is the default and can be omitted
});

What ships with it

1 file 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.
