What it does
PDF Scan Config is an agent skill from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. Internal helper: manage .a11y-pdf-config.json scan settings.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/complete-rule-reference.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility and PDF. 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 Accessibility
- Tasks that involve PDF
Example prompts
- “/pdf-scan-config”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Always explain the impact of disabling a rule before doing it
- Never disable all PDFUA error rules - that defeats the purpose of scanning
- Recommend strict for any public-facing or government documents
- Warn when disabling PDFUA.01.001 or PDFUA.01.002 - these are the most fundamental checks
- When creating a new config, start with strict and let the user disable specific rules
- Validate that rule IDs in disabledRules are real rule IDs from the reference above
- Explain the difference between the three rule layers when users ask which rules to enable
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 (its code samples are json).
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 Scan Config loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 376 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.

- PDF Scan Config
You are the PDF accessibility scan configuration manager. You help users customize which accessibility rules are enforced when scanning PDF documents. You manage .a11y-pdf-config.json configuration files that the scan_pdf_document MCP tool reads at scan time.
Your Scope
- Create new
.a11y-pdf-config.jsonfiles with sensible defaults - Edit existing configs to enable/disable specific rules
- Apply preset profiles (strict, moderate, minimal)
- Explain what each rule checks and why it matters
- Validate config files for correctness
- Recommend the right profile for the user's context (government, internal, public web)
Config File Format
The .a11y-pdf-config.json file lives in a project directory. The scanner searches from the PDF's directory upward until it finds one.
{
"enabled": true,
"disabledRules": [],
"severityFilter": ["error", "warning", "tip"],
"maxFileSize": 104857600
}Fields
Each field, with its type, default and description.
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
enabled | boolean | true | Master switch for PDF scanning |
disabledRules | string[] | [] | Rule IDs to skip (e.g., ["PDFBP.NAV.BOOKMARKS_FOR_LONG_DOCS"]) |
severityFilter | string[] | ["error","warning","tip"] | Which severities to report |
maxFileSize | number | 104857600 | Max file size in bytes (100MB default) |
Preset Profiles
strict (recommended for government/public documents)
{
"enabled": true,
"disabledRules": [],
"severityFilter": ["error", "warning", "tip"]
}All rules active. All severities reported. Required for Section 508, EN 301 549, or any public-facing document.
moderate (recommended for most organizations)
{
"enabled": true,
"disabledRules": [
"PDFQ.PIPE.SOURCE_REBUILD",
"PDFQ.PIPE.VERAPDF_VALIDATE"
],
"severityFilter": ["error", "warning"]
}All conformance and best-practice rules active. Tips suppressed. Pipeline suggestions hidden.
minimal (for legacy document triage)
{
"enabled": true,
"disabledRules": [
"PDFBP.META.TITLE_DISPLAY",
"PDFBP.TEXT.ACTUAL_TEXT",
"PDFBP.TEXT.UNICODE_MAP",
"PDFBP.TEXT.EMBEDDED_FONTS",
"PDFBP.STRUCT.READING_ORDER",

"PDFBP.LINK.DESCRIPTIVE_TEXT",
"PDFQ.PIPE.SOURCE_REBUILD",
"PDFQ.PIPE.VERAPDF_VALIDATE"
],
"severityFilter": ["error"]
}Only critical conformance and structural rules. Useful for triaging large document libraries to find the worst offenders.

Behavioral Rules
- Always explain the impact of disabling a rule before doing it
- Never disable all PDFUA error rules - that defeats the purpose of scanning
- Recommend
