What this skill does
PDF Process PDFs locally on macOS with exact extraction, source preservation, deliberate tool routing, and structural plus semantic validation. Invariants 1. Run extraction and transformations locally. Task-relevant document evidence in tool output and internal agent reports may be processed by the configured model provider. Require explicit user authorization and an external-disclosure review before uploading or sending document contents outside that agent workflow. Package and language-data downloads do not authorize document disclosure. 2. Preserve every original PDF byte-for-byte. Write a sibling output, copy, or explicitly named destination unless the user authorizes destructive replacement. 3. Preserve monetary values, identifiers, dates, signs, and displayed precision as strings. Use decimal.Decimal for arithmetic; never infer missing rows or silently discard headers, footnotes, continuation lines, or boundary pages. 4. Inspect structure and representative renders before choosing a transformation. Use the smallest tool that preserves the required layout, forms, annotations, and image quality. 5. Validate every written PDF structurally and against task semantics. A command exiting successfully is not evidence that extracted rows, totals, page boundaries, form appearances, or visual layout are correct. 6. Keep reports concise for private financial, tax, legal, and health documents. Prefer counts, reconciliations, and file references over raw sensitive rows unless the rows materially support the task or the user asks for them. Profile First Resolve the skill directory from this SKILL.md, then profile every unknown input: The helper emits schema-versioned JSON with integrity, encryption, page geometry/rotation, image counts, and per-page text coverage without document text. Stop on passwordrequired; password handling is outside this skill. …
