What it does
PDF is an agent skill from codewhale-hq/Codewhale. Read, extract, split, merge, rotate, watermark, fill, OCR, or create PDF files with verification of page counts and text extraction.
Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `SKILL.generation-14.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering PDF. It works with pypdf. The repository describes itself as: Open-source coding agent for your terminal, built in Rust and on a journey of continuous community improvement. Issues and PRs welcome. The licence is MIT.

Requirements

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad333fd. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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 309 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 158 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Read, extract, split, merge, rotate, watermark, fill, OCR, or create PDF files with verification of page counts and text extraction.
Use this skill for any task where a PDF is the primary input or output.
Workflow
- Identify the PDF operation: read, extract, OCR, split, merge, rotate, watermark, redact, fill forms, encrypt/decrypt, or create.
- Preserve originals. Write outputs with explicit names.
- Use the most reliable available tool:
pdftotext,pdfinfo,qpdf, ormutoolthroughbashwhen installed (the built-inreadtool does not extract text from a PDF)- Python libraries such as
pypdf,pdfplumber,PyMuPDF, orreportlabwhen available - OCR tools only for scanned pages
- For extraction, report page coverage and note when layout, tables, or OCR quality may affect accuracy.
- For generated or modified PDFs, verify page count, text extraction where possible, and file size. For redaction, confirm removed text is not extractable from the output.
Ask before installing dependencies or running OCR over large documents. Do not represent a visually scanned PDF as fully accurate text unless OCR quality has been checked.

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 codewhale-hq/Codewhale --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?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: PDF is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does PDF access the network?
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.
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. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does PDF use?
PDF is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does PDF use?
About 309 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
