On this page

This is a ClaudeSkills editorial guide. Read the maintained upstream instructions for installation, supported tools and the terms of the package.

Define the task

Choose a specific PDF operation: extract a table, read a report, fill a form, combine pages or produce a new document. Identify pages, units and output format. A scanned page can require OCR and a visual check.

Example request

Extract the table on page 4 into CSV.
Preserve column headings and units. Flag unclear cells.

This request is an example input; it is not a verified execution result.

Review the result

Keep the original input. Open the exported file and compare the changed parts before using it. Tell the agent which structure, values, references and visual details it must preserve.
