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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00065 | $0.01029 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00026 | $0.00412 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00206 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00103 |
Grade A, and why
doc-reader 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 1mo 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.
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 — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Universal Document Reader
Purpose
Return extracted text from any supported file in a single unified JSON envelope. The tool dispatches by file extension — you always call the same tool regardless of format.
Supported formats
| Category | Extensions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
.pdf |
Text pages extracted in ms; scanned/image pages fall back to OCR | |
| Word | .docx |
Paragraphs + table cells |
| Excel | .xlsx, .xls |
All sheets, first 100 rows per sheet as preview |
| PowerPoint | .pptx |
Slide text content |
| Images | .png/.jpg/.jpeg/.gif/.bmp/.webp/.tiff |
OCR only |
| CSV / TSV | .csv, .tsv |
Raw text with encoding fallback |
| Plain text | .txt/.md/.log/.rst |
Encoding fallback |
| Config | .json/.yaml/.yml/.toml/.ini/.cfg/.env |
Raw text |
| Markup | .html/.htm/.xml |
Raw text (no HTML stripping) |
| Source code | .py/.js/.ts/.tsx/.go/.rs/.java/.cpp/.c/.sql/.sh/... |
Raw text |
| Unknown extension | anything else | Best-effort read as UTF-8/GBK text |
Blocked (rejected at /upload): executables (.exe/.dll/.so/...) and
archives (.zip/.tar/...). Ask the user to unpack archives locally first.
Usage
Always call the tool directly — do not run Python from bash.
read_document(file_path="uploads/paper.pdf")
read_document(file_path="uploads/annual_report.pdf", pages="1-10")
read_document(file_path="uploads/contract.docx")
read_document(file_path="uploads/sales.xlsx")
read_document(file_path="uploads/deck.pptx")
read_document(file_path="uploads/chart.png") # image → OCR
read_document(file_path="uploads/config.yaml")
read_document(file_path="uploads/notes.md")
The pages parameter only applies to PDF; other formats ignore it.
Return envelope
All formats share this shape:
{
"status": "ok",
"file": "paper.pdf",
"format": "pdf",
"char_count": 52000,
"truncated": true,
"text": "..."
}
Format-specific extra fields:
| Format | Extra keys |
|---|---|
pdf |
total_pages, pages_read, ocr_pages |
docx |
paragraphs, tables |
excel |
sheets (array of {name, rows, cols}) |
pptx |
slides |
text |
encoding, size |
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.

doc-reader is a skill published in the GitHub repository skloxo/TideTrading (13 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 1,029 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
