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 B, and why

pdf-watermark-remover scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (pdf_watermark_remover/__init__.py, pdf_watermark_remover/cli.py, pdf_watermark_remover/remover.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.

What it actually says

PDF Watermark Remover

Remove watermarks from PDF files using PyMuPDF. Supports tiling pattern watermarks (most common in enterprise document systems) and semi-transparent text overlays.

Prerequisites

Ensure PyMuPDF is installed:

sudo pip3 install pymupdf

Usage

Run the bundled script:

python3 pdf_watermark_remover/cli.py <input.pdf> <output.pdf> [--mode auto|pattern|text|both]

Or if installed via pip:

pdf-watermark-remover <input.pdf> <output.pdf> [--mode auto|pattern|text|both]

Modes

Mode Description
auto Detect watermark type automatically and remove (default)
pattern Remove only tiling pattern watermarks (repeated tiles covering pages)
text Remove only semi-transparent text watermarks
both Force remove both types

Typical Workflow

  1. Receive PDF file from user
  2. Run script with --mode auto (default)
  3. Verify output by viewing 2-3 pages of the result PDF
  4. If watermarks remain, retry with --mode both or investigate manually
  5. Deliver the cleaned PDF to the user

How It Works

  • Pattern watermarks: Detected by /Pattern CS operators in content streams. Removed by excising q...Q graphics state blocks containing pattern fill operations.
  • Text watermarks: Detected by ExtGState objects with fill opacity (/ca) less than 1.0.

Limitations

  • Cannot remove watermarks baked into rasterized images (scanned PDFs)
  • Cannot remove watermarks embedded as part of the actual page content (same opacity as normal text)
  • For encrypted/password-protected PDFs, decryption must be done first
Files

What ships with it

6 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.
