What it does
PDF Trad To Simp Preserve Layout is an agent skill from superpilot69/pdf-trad-to-simp-preserve-layout-kit. Convert traditional Chinese PDFs to simplified Chinese while preserving page size, images, selectable text, and overall layout as much as possible. Use when Codex is asked to directly convert a source PDF from 繁体 to 简体 without rebuilding the book, to keep the original PDF structure and pictures, to replace an image-only cover after conversion, or to make the body font lighter after text-layer replacement.
Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/workflow.md` and `scripts/convert_pdf_t2s_preserve_layout.py`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering PDF. The repository describes itself as: PDF traditional-to-simplified Chinese conversion kit with layout-preserving scripts, Codex skill, and example source/output PDFs.
When your agent uses it
- Codex is asked to directly convert a source PDF from 繁体 to 简体 without rebuilding the book
- Keep the original PDF structure and pictures
- Replace an image-only cover after conversion
- Make the body font lighter after text-layer replacement
Example prompts
- “/pdf-trad-to-simp-preserve-layout”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Install the bundled dependencies once.
- Convert the text layer without rebuilding the book.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08d67b0. 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 6 files in scripts/ (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonpdftotext
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 Trad To Simp Preserve Layout loads about 857 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 353 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 353 words (~857 tokens).
“Use this skill when layout fidelity matters more than reflowed typography. The bundled scripts keep the original PDF page geometry and images, replace only the text layer on text-based pages, and handle image-only cover pages as a separate replacement step.”
