SKILLEMALL.ai

AC pdf-reader

Extract text from PDF files with automatic OCR fallback for scanned/image-based PDFs. Use when: (1) a user sends a PDF file and the framework did not auto-inject text content, (2) the injected text is empty or garbled, (3) a PDF file exists on disk and needs text extraction, (4) user mentions "read PDF", "extract PDF", "PDF content", "scan PDF", "OCR". Handles both text-layer PDFs (fast pdftotext) and scanned/image PDFs (tesseract OCR). Supports Chinese + English by default, configurable languages.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 53/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
    • 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
    • 85Steps. 11 steps, 1 vague phrases
    • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 756 tokens

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

    ClawHub: clean
    This skill appears to be a disclosed PDF text/OCR extractor, with the main caution that an optional flag can install OCR/PDF tools on the host.
