What it does
PDF is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Comprehensive PDF manipulation, extraction, and generation with support for text extraction, form filling, merging, splitting, annotations, and creation. Use when working with .pdf files for: (1) Extracting text and tables, (2) Filling PDF forms, (3) Merging/splitting PDFs, (4) Creating PDFs programmatically, (5) Adding watermarks/annotations, (6) PDF metadata management
Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `examples/invoice-generator.md` and `examples/report-automation.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering PDF and Forms and invoices. It works with pypdf. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
When your agent uses it
- Working with .pdf files for:
- Extracting text and tables
- Filling PDF forms
- Merging/splitting PDFs
Example prompts
- “/pdf”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Choose the right library for your task (see Quick Reference)
- Handle errors with try-except blocks
- Check for encryption before processing
- Use OCR fallback for scanned documents
- Process large files in chunks to manage memory
- Validate input files before operations
- Close documents to free resources: doc.close()
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pippython
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
PDF loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~18k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 676 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 676 words (~3,289 tokens).
“Comprehensive guide for working with PDF files in Python, covering extraction, manipulation, creation, and advanced operations using progressive disclosure for efficiency.”

PDF is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Comprehensive PDF manipulation, extraction, and generation with support for text extraction, form filling, merging, splitting, annotations, and creation.
When should I use PDF?
PDF fits situations like: working with .pdf files for:; extracting text and tables; filling PDF forms; merging/splitting PDFs.
How do I install PDF in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill pdf -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/autumnsgrove/pdf in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .claude/skills/pdf in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install PDF in Codex?
Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill pdf -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/autumnsgrove/pdf in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .agents/skills/pdf in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use PDF in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill pdf -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pdf, .gemini/skills/pdf, .github/skills/pdf and .opencode/skills/pdf in your project.
What does PDF need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, PDF needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (pip and python). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does PDF access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is PDF safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does PDF use?
No licence was found for PDF or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does PDF use?
About 3.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 13k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 15k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to PDF?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with PDF: Reportlab (jimmc414/Kosmos, 594 stars), PDF Reading (Wide-Moat/open-computer-use, 126 stars), PDF Processing Toolkit (telagod/code-abyss, 243 stars) and PDF (davila7/claude-code-templates, 32k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
