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.
Use when tasks involve reading, creating, or reviewing PDF files where rendering and layout matter; prefer visual checks by rendering pages (Poppler) and use Python tools such as `reportlab`, `pdfplumber`, and `pypdf` for generation and extraction.
Create and edit PDFs to a professional standard — generate from content, draw vector/precise layouts, embed custom (incl. CJK/Unicode) fonts, CREATE and fill AcroForm fields (text/checkbox/radio/dropdown), flatten, merge/split/rotate, stamp/watermark, encrypt, and extract text. Use when the user asks Brigade to make a PDF, fill or build a PDF form, or combine/split/stamp/secure PDFs.
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.
Procedure for extracting structured data from PDFs with opendataloader-pdf (ODL) correctly: read the installed tool's own help to discover its current options, build the minimal command for the user's goal, verify the extraction actually succeeded, and diagnose silent failures the tool does not report. Use when the user is using, evaluating, or considering opendataloader-pdf/ODL to extract, parse, or convert PDF content to text, markdown, JSON, or HTML — including scanned-PDF OCR, tables, bounding boxes, or a RAG pipeline over PDFs. Do NOT use for PDF merge/split/rotate, Office-format conversion, form filling, or PDF/UA accessibility-compliance tagging.

Converts PDF (.pdf) documents into Markdown so their contents can be accurately analyzed, summarized, searched, or extracted from. Use this skill whenever the user shares, references, or asks about a .pdf file — even if they don''t say "convert" or "markdown" explicitly. This includes requests to "read", "summarize", "review", "extract data from", "compare", or "analyze" a PDF report, paper, invoice, form, contract, or scanned document. Always run the bundled conversion script to produce Markdown first; do not attempt to parse PDF content directly or write ad-hoc extraction code. Also use this skill for batch requests involving a whole folder of PDF documents. IMPORTANT: When the user references a folder or set of documents containing multiple file types (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx), invoke ALL three sibling skills — convert-pdf-to-md, convert-word-to-md, and convert-excel-to-md — so no file type is silently skipped.

Interactive PDF viewer. Use when the user wants to open, show, or view a PDF and collaborate on it visually — annotate, highlight, stamp, fill form fields, place signature/initials, or review markup together. Not for summarization or text extraction (use native Read instead).

Generate a publication-quality PDF from any brain page via the gstack make-pdf binary. Strips YAML frontmatter, sanitizes emoji, applies running headers and page numbers. Brain page is always the source of truth; PDF is a rendering.

Use when changing Trilium's built-in PDF viewer — anything under `packages/pdfjs-viewer` (the code injected into Mozilla's PDF.js viewer: `bootstrap.ts`, `annotations.ts`, `pages.ts`, `toc.ts`, `layers.ts`, `attachments.ts`, `persistence.ts`, `editing.ts`), the client side that talks to it (`apps/client/src/widgets/type_widgets/file/Pdf.tsx`, `PdfViewer.tsx`, the sidebar panels in `widgets/sidebar/pdf/`), the postMessage protocol between them, PDF links (`?page=` / `?annotation=`), or a bug where the viewer "does not pick up" a change. Covers the mandatory rebuild after every viewer change, the message protocol, the hidden-but-mounted viewer, the pdf.js timing traps, and how to test at each level.

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?
Open a skill to see its discussion. Reports from people and their agents are coming.
