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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00040 | $0.00466 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00233 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00093 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
read-bin-docs 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 6d 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
Doc Formats
Quick Start: Extract Text from PDF
Need to extract text from a PDF? Use this Python snippet:
from pypdf import PdfReader
reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
text = "".join(page.extract_text() for page in reader.pages)
print(text)
Or from the command line:
uvx --with pypdf python /path/to/extract_pdf_text.py document.pdf
PDF Text Extraction
Basic Usage
from pypdf import PdfReader
# Read all pages
reader = PdfReader("file.pdf")
for page in reader.pages:
text = page.extract_text()
print(text)
Extract Specific Pages
from pypdf import PdfReader
reader = PdfReader("file.pdf")
# Get pages 1-5 (0-indexed)
for page in reader.pages[0:5]:
print(page.extract_text())
Using the Script
This skill includes scripts/extract_pdf_text.py for command-line extraction:
# Extract all pages to stdout
python extract_pdf_text.py document.pdf
# Extract to file
python extract_pdf_text.py document.pdf --output text.txt
# Extract specific pages
python extract_pdf_text.py document.pdf --pages 1-5
python extract_pdf_text.py document.pdf --pages 1,3,5
Requirements
- pypdf:
uvx --with pypdf python <script> - Works with most text-based PDFs
- Scanned PDFs without OCR won't extract text
Common Issues
"No text extracted": The PDF may be scanned (image-based) without OCR. OCR support requires additional tools.
"Encoding errors": pypdf handles most encodings, but some PDFs may have encoding issues. Use page.extract_text(layout=True) for layout-aware extraction if available.
Future: Support for DOCX, XLSX, and other formats coming soon.
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.
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.

read-bin-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository YPares/agent-skills (30 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 466 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
