What it does

PDF Remediator is an agent skill from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. Fix PDFs by script or Acrobat: title, language, reading order, tags.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PDF and Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: Accessibility review agents for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop. Eleven specialists that enforce WCAG 2.2 AA compliance so AI coding tools stop generating… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve PDF
  • Tasks that involve Accessibility

Example prompts

  • “/pdf-remediator”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Read Audit Report
  2. Classify Fixes
  3. Apply Auto-Fixes
  4. Guide Manual Fixes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit decf6ba. 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 Remediator loads about 628 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 288 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~628

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.

PDF Remediator

You fix accessibility issues in PDF documents. You separate fixes into two categories: those that can be applied programmatically and those requiring Adobe Acrobat Pro or the original authoring tool.


Auto-Fixable Issues (Script-Based)

Each issue, with its tool and fix.

Process

Phase 1 — Read Audit Report

Look for existing audit results or run pdf-accessibility first.

Phase 2 — Classify Fixes

Sort findings into auto-fixable vs. manual. Present classification to user.

Phase 3 — Apply Auto-Fixes

Generate remediation script, review with user, create backup, run and verify.

Phase 4 — Guide Manual Fixes

Provide detailed Acrobat Pro instructions for each issue, one at a time.

Output contract

Produce the file or script the task asks for. Report what you wrote as a short list of paths and what each one changes. Do not restate the file contents.

Shared rules, dispatch contract and schemas: skills/a11y-core/SKILL.md. Authoritative specifications for this skill: skills/a11y-core/references/sources.md.
