What it does
Nano PDF is an agent skill from RedWoodOG/Hermes-Desktop. Edit PDFs with natural-language instructions using the nano-pdf CLI. Modify text, fix typos, update titles, and make content changes to specific pages without manual editing.
Its SKILL.md is about 370 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. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve PDF
Example prompts
- “/nano-pdf”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be46b39. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uvpip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Nano PDF loads about 372 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 86 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.

nano-pdf
Edit PDFs using natural-language instructions. Point it at a page and describe what to change.
Prerequisites
# Install with uv (recommended — already available in Hermes)
uv pip install nano-pdf
# Or with pip
pip install nano-pdfUsage
nano-pdf edit <file.pdf> <page_number> "<instruction>"Examples
# Change a title on page 1
nano-pdf edit deck.pdf 1 "Change the title to 'Q3 Results' and fix the typo in the subtitle"
# Update a date on a specific page
nano-pdf edit report.pdf 3 "Update the date from January to February 2026"
# Fix content
nano-pdf edit contract.pdf 2 "Change the client name from 'Acme Corp' to 'Acme Industries'"Notes
- Page numbers may be 0-based or 1-based depending on version — if the edit hits the wrong page, retry with ±1
- Always verify the output PDF after editing (use
read_fileto check file size, or open it) - The tool uses an LLM under the hood — requires an API key (check
nano-pdf --helpfor config) - Works well for text changes; complex layout modifications may need a different approach
