What it does
PDF Processor is an agent skill from microsoft/waza, published by the product's own GitHub organization. WORKFLOW SKILL - Process PDF files including text extraction, rotation, and merging. USE FOR: "extract PDF text", "rotate PDF", "merge PDFs", "split PDF pages", "convert PDF to text". DO NOT USE FOR: creating PDFs from scratch (use document-creator), editing PDF forms (use form-filler). INVOKES: pdf-tools MCP for extraction, file-system for I/O. FOR SINGLE OPERATIONS: Use pdf-tools MCP directly for simple extractions.
Its SKILL.md is about 280 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. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: CLI / Framework for Agent Skills - create, test, measure and improve skill quality and effectiveness. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : extract PDF text
- Split PDF pages
- Convert PDF to text
- : creating PDFs from scratch (use document-creator)
Example prompts
- “extract PDF text”
- “rotate PDF”
- “merge PDFs”
- “/pdf-processor”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Parse the user's request to determine the PDF operation
- Use appropriate tools for the operation
- Return results with status
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 774df00. 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 Processor loads about 278 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 67 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.
