Fast local PDF parsing with PyMuPDF (fitz) for Markdown/JSON outputs and optional images/tables.

  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Prereqs / when to read…, Quick start (single PDF) and Options, plus 2 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder
  • As a fallback while heavier parsers are unavailable

What it does

Pymupdf PDF is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Fast local PDF parsing with PyMuPDF (fitz) for Markdown/JSON outputs and optional images/tables. Use when speed matters more than robustness, or as a fallback while heavier parsers are unavailable. Default to single-PDF parsing with per-document output folders.

Its SKILL.md is about 360 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/pymupdf-notes.md` and `scripts/pymupdf_parse.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering PDF. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Speed matters more than robustness
  • As a fallback while heavier parsers are unavailable

Example prompts

  • “/pymupdf-pdf”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Pymupdf PDF loads about 359 tokens when it runs, and up to ~508 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~359
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~508

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 126 words (~359 tokens).

“Parse PDFs locally using PyMuPDF for fast, lightweight extraction into Markdown by default, with optional JSON and image/table outputs in a per-document directory.”
