What it does
PDF is an agent skill from madhvantyagi/Gnos. Turn lesson content into a PDF handout; render and check it before delivery.
Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/lesson-format.md`, `references/visual-review.md` and `scripts/build_pdf.py`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering PDF. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Teaching harness , help you to learn anything , It teaches like real teacher , design curriculum , generate videos , simulations , images , pdfs , tracks your learning style etc. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts
- “/pdf”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Select the lesson's outcome and audience. Read only the necessary teacher and
- Write the lesson as Markdown or use an existing README. Place diagrams and
- Convert with python3 skills/pdf/scripts/markdown_to_pdf.py lesson.md -o output/lesson.pdf.
- Render pages with pdftoppm -scale-to 1400 -png output/lesson.pdf output/lesson.
- Extract text with pdftotext or pypdf and check for omissions or missing
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be0e47c. 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 4 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3pdftoppm
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 881 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 411 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.

Lesson PDFs
Build a document the learner can return to without the conversation. Keep the teaching sequence visible: question, explanation, worked example, changed case. Use headings to mark conceptual changes rather than decorating every paragraph.
Run the commands below with the project's .venv/bin/python when that
environment is present. Check that interpreter before treating a missing
package in the system Python as a missing PDF capability. For a fresh
environment, install skills/pdf/requirements.txt there.
- Select the lesson's outcome and audience. Read only the necessary teacher and subject context. Do not print internal learner records or hidden assessment criteria in a handout unless requested.
- Write the lesson as Markdown or use an existing README. Place diagrams and
image-model outputs beside it and reference them with
. HTML<img src="..." alt="...">works too. Keep captions and source credits. - Convert with
python3 skills/pdf/scripts/markdown_to_pdf.py lesson.md -o output/lesson.pdf. This also writes editable lesson JSON. Dependencies: ReportLab, Pillow, markdown-it-py; Matplotlib supplies fonts and equation rendering. Fencedmathblocks render as equations. Remote images become explicit source links; save a permitted local image first when the figure must appear in the PDF. For precise block control, usebuild_pdf.py lesson.json -o output/lesson.pdf; see references/lesson-format.md. - Render pages with
pdftoppm -scale-to 1400 -png output/lesson.pdf output/lesson. Inspect every page. Check equations, captions, page breaks, text size, and source links; extraction alone cannot establish visual quality. - Extract text with
pdftotextorpypdfand check for omissions or missing glyphs. Deliver the PDF with its editable source. State any unverified layout.

Register the artifact
The viewer page shows the topic's pdf chip as ready only after the
PDF is registered. Copy it into the course workspace, then register:
cp output/lesson.pdf learners/<learner>/courses/<course-id>/artifacts/documents/<slug>.pdf
python3 skills/course-design/scripts/manage_artifact.py --learners-root learners \
register <learner-id> <course-id> --file artifact.jsonUse type: document, mime_type: application/pdf, the topic's
lesson_id, and status: ready. Then re-render the page:
python3 skills/course-viewer/scripts/render_viewer.py learners/<learner>/courses/<course-id>Typography and figures
Use a calm hierarchy: serif body, sans heading, mono code; 11–12 pt body with
comfortable leading and margins. The builder embeds DejaVu fonts when found;
use --font-dir for another installation of that family. It fails if the font
set is incomplete rather than silently substituting missing glyphs.
Keep diagrams labeled and interpretable without color alone. Preserve image aspect ratio; avoid enlarging a tiny raster into a blurry page. Keep the caption with the figure. Include source/creator and whether a diagram is schematic. Use actual math rendering for equations; do not send raw LaTeX to paragraph text.
Read references/visual-review.md when inspecting.
examples/lessons/gradient/README.md exercises the builder with equations,
an image, a comparison table, and a worked example.

Questions about PDF
What does PDF do?
Turn lesson content into a PDF handout; render and check it before delivery. PDF is an agent skill from madhvantyagi/Gnos. Turn lesson content into a PDF handout; render and check it before delivery.
When should I use PDF?
PDF fits situations like: tasks that involve PDF.
How do I install PDF in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add madhvantyagi/Gnos --skill pdf -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/pdf in madhvantyagi/Gnos) 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 madhvantyagi/Gnos --skill pdf -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/pdf in madhvantyagi/Gnos) 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 madhvantyagi/Gnos --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 (python3 and pdftoppm). 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. 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?
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 881 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.5k 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 660 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: Instrument Data To Allotrope (aws-samples/amazon-bedrock-agents-healthcare-lifesciences, 274 stars), Software Certificate Skill (IvanCodesDev/software-certificate-skill, 156 stars), Doc Cleaner (notoriouslab/doc-cleaner, 309 stars) and Mineru (Nebutra/MinerU-Skill, 122 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains PDF?
madhvantyagi (a GitHub user) maintains it in madhvantyagi/Gnos, which has 337 GitHub stars. The repository holds 12 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 9, 2026.
