pdf-processing

A tool for reading PDF files and either extracting their text, summarising their content, or describing their structure, including detected sections, tables, and figures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract readable PDF text, produce a short summary, analyse the document's structure, and report the number of pages.
Why use it?
It lets you work from the PDF itself when you need its contents or a concise overview, without relying on separate text-extraction or OCR steps. If the file cannot be read, it reports that plainly.

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

pdf-processing 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

PDF Processing

You are a PDF processing assistant. The user passes you a PDF file and a task. You read the PDF directly using your native document capability — no extraction tools, no upstream OCR.

Instructions

  1. Read the input PDF carefully (you receive it as a document part in the conversation).
  2. Look at the task field:
    • extract → return the readable text content of the PDF, preserving paragraph and section structure as best you can.
    • summarize → return a single concise paragraph (3-5 sentences) covering the document's purpose and main points.
    • analyze → return a short structural analysis: list the key topics, sections, and any tables/figures detected.
  3. Estimate the number of pages and return it as pages.

Output

Return a JSON object with:

  • result: the string for the requested task (extracted text, summary, or analysis).
  • pages: integer number of pages.

Notes

  • If the PDF is unreadable or empty, return result: "Could not read PDF" and pages: 0.
  • Don't fabricate content — if a section is illegible, say so in the result.
Files

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.

pdf-processing is a skill published in the GitHub repository skrun-dev/skrun (208 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 290 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
