unlimited-ocr-batch-folder

unlimited-ocr-batch-folder is a skill for Claude Code from terrylica/cc-skills. It costs 134 tokens per session (2,519 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A batch document-processing tool that turns all PDFs and images in a folder into Markdown, including recognised text, mathematical notation, tables, and layout information. It uses the local Unlimited-OCR model and records progress so interrupted work can continue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract text and structure from scanned documents, research papers, and image collections, especially when the folder is large.
Why use it?
Processing files one by one can lose progress when a long run stops. Checkpoints, incremental output, and skipping completed files reduce repeated work.

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

unlimited-ocr-batch-folder 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 14d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Unlimited-OCR — batch parse a folder of PDFs and images

Process an entire folder of images and PDFs without losing work to interruption, using the same proven baidu/Unlimited-OCR model that powers unlimited-ocr-parse-document. Results are written incrementally to a manifest, so a long run that gets interrupted can be resumed without reprocessing.

Self-Evolving Skill: every number and guarantee below was measured on this hardware, not copied from upstream documentation. If a guarantee stops holding, fix this file and references immediately rather than deferring. Re-verify before changing a documented fact.


The guarantees

  1. ONE IMAGE PER FORWARD PASS, ALWAYS — per-image processing is deliberate and measured. Single-pass multi-image on MLX recovered 1/3, 4/5, and 0/10 pages; per-image recovered 100 % every time. See ../../references/PITFALLS.md § 3.
  2. CHECKPOINT AND RESUME — every result is written to disk BEFORE the manifest is updated. If the process dies, the incomplete line is never recorded. Re-run with the same output folder to skip everything already done.
  3. CHARTS COME BACK EMPTY — this is correct behaviour for a layout parser and a fatal surprise if you expected a vision model. See the next section.
  4. EXIT CODES: The batch script returns a summary exit code: 0 if all files succeeded without repetition, 1 if some files had repetition suspected (check before trusting), 2 if any files failed with hard errors. Per-file status is always recorded in the manifest.
  5. MEMORY-BOUNDED — no result accumulation. Each file runs in its own process (load, infer, write, exit), so a 1,000-file folder never threatens machine stability.

What it will NOT do

Charts come back empty. Fed a nine-panel matplotlib figure, the model returned nine perfectly-placed chart bounding boxes and zero characters. That is correct for a layout parser and catastrophic if you assumed an image captioner.

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.
