Inspect, extract, assemble, generate, render, OCR, and validate PDF files with local tools while treating active content and external services as explicit security boundaries.
Read, create, fill, and transform PDF files. Covers extracting text and tables, OCR of scanned pages, filling fillable and flat forms, and flattening, merging, splitting, rotating, stamping and encrypting. Use when a task takes a .pdf as input or must produce one.
Use this skill when visual quality and design identity matter for a PDF. CREATE (generate from scratch): "make a PDF", "generate a report", "write a proposal", "create a resume", "beautiful PDF", "professional document", "cover page", "polished PDF", "client-ready document". FILL (complete form fields): "fill in the form", "fill out this PDF", "complete the form fields", "write values into PDF", "what fields does this PDF have". REFORMAT (apply design to an existing doc): "reformat this document", "apply our style", "convert this Markdown/text to PDF", "make this doc look good", "re-style this PDF". This skill uses a token-based design system: color, typography, and spacing are derived from the document type and flow through every page. The output is print-ready. Prefer this skill when appearance matters, not just when any PDF output is needed.
Create new PDFs and handle existing `.pdf` files safely with bundled Node/JS tools, including text extraction, page rendering, invoice/document parsing, form filling, and overlays.
Read, create, combine, split, rotate, OCR, watermark, secure, or extract content from PDF files. Use when a PDF is a primary input or requested output. Not for LaTeX source editing or Word and spreadsheet deliverables.

Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with PDF files. This includes reading or extracting text/tables from PDFs, combining or merging multiple PDFs into one, splitting PDFs apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, filling PDF forms, encrypting/decrypting PDFs, extracting images, and OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable. If the user mentions a .pdf file or asks to produce one, use this skill.
Requires macOS, uv, Poppler, qpdf, Ghostscript, OCRmyPDF with Tesseract language data, and img2pdf.

Processes PDF files for reading, extracting text/tables, merging, splitting, rotating, watermarking, creating, form filling, encrypting/decrypting, image extraction, and OCR on scanned PDFs. Triggers when the user mentions a .pdf file, asks to produce one, or needs any PDF manipulation. Do NOT use for other document types like .docx or .pptx.
PDF and document utilities for generating, merging, validating, and exporting repository documentation from Markdown sources. Useful for creating printable guides, skill documentation, and release-ready artifacts.

A folder with a SKILL.md file: a name, a description of when to use it, and instructions. Claude loads a skill only when the task matches its description.
How do I use one I find here?
Copy the folder into your project's .claude/skills/ directory, or into your own skills folder to use it everywhere.
What do the warnings mean?
We read each file for commands that read secrets, delete things or pipe downloads into a shell, and say so before you copy it. No warning is not a promise that a file is safe.
Which skills worked for people?
