pdfALWAYS use this skill instead of the Read tool for PDF files.
PDF is an agent skill from benchflow-ai/skillsbench. ALWAYS use this skill instead of the Read tool for PDF files. The Read tool cannot extract PDF tables properly. Use this skill when: (1) Reading ANY PDF file, (2) Extracting tables from PDFs, (3) Converting PDF tables to pandas DataFrames, (4) Processing multi-page PDFs
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering PDF and DataFrames. It works with pandas and pypdf. The repository describes itself as: SkillsBench evaluates how well skills work and how effective agents are at using them. The licence is Apache-2.0.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a1f4dd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
PDF loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 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.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/pdf/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).The Read tool cannot properly extract tabular data from PDFs. It will only show you a limited preview of the first page's text content, missing most of the data.
For PDF files, especially multi-page PDFs with tables:
pdfplumber as shown in this skillIf you need to extract data from a PDF, write Python code using pdfplumber. This is the only reliable way to get complete table data from all pages.
Extract text and tables from PDF documents using Python libraries.
pdfplumber is the recommended library for extracting tables from PDFs.

PDF fits situations like: reading ANY PDF file; extracting tables from PDFs; converting PDF tables to pandas DataFrames; processing multi-page PDFs.
Run `npx skills add benchflow-ai/skillsbench --skill pdf -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (tasks/sales-pivot-analysis/environment/skills/pdf in benchflow-ai/skillsbench) into .claude/skills/pdf in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add benchflow-ai/skillsbench --skill pdf -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (tasks/sales-pivot-analysis/environment/skills/pdf in benchflow-ai/skillsbench) into .agents/skills/pdf in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add benchflow-ai/skillsbench --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.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: PDF is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
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. Review the folder before installing.
PDF is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with PDF: File Format Conversion (pipeshub-ai/pipeshub-ai, 3.8k stars), PDF Processing (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), CSV Data Summarizer (zrt-ai-lab/opencode-skills, 287 stars) and Local Knowledge Base Retriever (ConardLi/rag-skill, 714 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
