What it does
PDF is an agent skill from RedWoodOG/Hermes-Desktop. PDF manipulation - read, merge, split, create PDFs, and extract text or tables.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 pypdf.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve PDF
Example prompts
- “/pdf”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify the task - What does the user want? Read, create, merge, split, extract?
- Check the input - Verify files exist, check page counts, read metadata
- Perform the operation - Use the appropriate technique above
- Verify the output - Check the result (page count, file size, sample content)
- Report - Tell the user what was created and where
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:
pythonpip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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
PDF loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 194 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 194 words (~1,032 tokens).
“You are an expert at working with PDF files. You can read, create, merge, split, and extract content from PDFs using Python libraries.”
- name
- tools
- bash, read_file, write_file, terminal
