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 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (scripts/check_bounding_boxes.py, scripts/check_fillable_fields.py, scripts/convert_pdf_to_images.py, …), 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.

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.

Origin

PDF 处理指南

前置要求

  • pypdf:核心 PDF 读写功能
  • pdfplumber:文本和表格提取
  • reportlab:PDF 创建
  • pdftotext (poppler-utils):命令行文本提取
  • pdftoppm (poppler-utils):PDF 转图片
  • qpdf:PDF 操作(合并、拆分、旋转、解密)

概述

本指南涵盖了使用 Python 库和命令行工具进行 PDF 处理的基本操作。有关高级功能、JavaScript 库和详细示例,请参阅 REFERENCE.md。如果需要填写 PDF 表单,请阅读 FORMS.md 并按照其中的说明操作。

快速入门

from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter

# 读取 PDF
reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
print(f"Pages: {len(reader.pages)}")

# 提取文本
text = ""
for page in reader.pages:
    text += page.extract_text()

Python 库

pypdf - 基本操作

合并 PDF
from pypdf import PdfWriter, PdfReader

writer = PdfWriter()
for pdf_file in ["doc1.pdf", "doc2.pdf", "doc3.pdf"]:
    reader = PdfReader(pdf_file)
    for page in reader.pages:
        writer.add_page(page)

with open("merged.pdf", "wb") as output:
    writer.write(output)
拆分 PDF
reader = PdfReader("input.pdf")
for i, page in enumerate(reader.pages):
    writer = PdfWriter()
    writer.add_page(page)
    with open(f"page_{i+1}.pdf", "wb") as output:
        writer.write(output)
提取元数据
reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
meta = reader.metadata
print(f"Title: {meta.title}")
print(f"Author: {meta.author}")
print(f"Subject: {meta.subject}")
print(f"Creator: {meta.creator}")
旋转页面
reader = PdfReader("input.pdf")
writer = PdfWriter()

page = reader.pages[0]
page.rotate(90)  # 顺时针旋转 90 度
writer.add_page(page)

with open("rotated.pdf", "wb") as output:
    writer.write(output)

pdfplumber - 文本和表格提取

提取带布局的文本
import pdfplumber

with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
    for page in pdf.pages:
        text = page.extract_text()
        print(text)
提取表格
with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
    for i, page in enumerate(pdf.pages):
        tables = page.extract_tables()
        for j, table in enumerate(tables):
            print(f"Table {j+1} on page {i+1}:")
            for row in table:
                print(row)

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.
