document-to-markdown-visual-qa

document-to-markdown-visual-qa is a skill for Codex from Yuleno/skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,499 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning digital PDF documents into Markdown, a plain-text format, while checking that tables, figures, formulas, and code were preserved.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps convert one or more PDFs, compare the extracted text with rendered pages, and track conversion and quality checks.
Why use it?
It reduces errors that can occur when software extracts PDF content without checking the original page appearance.

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

document-to-markdown-visual-qa 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 9 executable files (scripts/build_review_units.py, scripts/common.py, scripts/extract_pdf_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.

Document to Markdown Visual QA

Produce one semantically faithful Markdown document for AI and human reading. Treat the source PDF and rendered pages as authority; treat every parser output as a candidate.

1. Run the visual preflight

Pause before rendering pages for a remote model or dispatching visual workers. Ask the user:

  1. Can the current model inspect images directly?
  2. If not, which visual MCP/tool is available?
  3. May that route receive document pages, and may it be called concurrently?
  4. What max_workers limit should apply, or should the harness choose its safe default?

Record visual_route as native, mcp:<tool-name>, or none. Proceed without visual review only when the user selects none; the final status must then be Needs Review unless every visual fidelity requirement is otherwise proven.

Completion criterion: the user has explicitly selected the route and upload/concurrency boundary for this run.

2. Check dependencies

Run:

python scripts/preflight.py --input "<source.pdf>" [--renderer-python "<python-with-pymupdf>"]

Require MarkItDown, pypdf, and pdfplumber for the baseline. Require PyMuPDF, pypdfium2, or a working pdftoppm for rendering. The conversion and rendering interpreters may differ; when the harness supplies a renderer in another Python, pass that interpreter with --renderer-python and run render_pdf.py with it. Report missing dependencies and wait for installation permission; do not install them automatically. Keep Docling and other specialized parsers optional.

Completion criterion: the preflight returns ready: true, or the user accepts an explicitly degraded route.

3. Prepare the immutable baseline

Run with the Python interpreter that contains MarkItDown:

python scripts/prepare_pdf.py "<source.pdf>"

This creates document.raw.md, an initial document.reviewed.md, a resumable manifest, and a hash-keyed work directory. Preserve document.raw.md unchanged. Generate parser candidates under the work directory when a specialized parser is available; never replace the baseline with a candidate.

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.
