anthropics/skills pdf — production document skill with FORMS.md split
WhenUse when any PDF extract, merge, form-fill, or OCR is the job — trigger on .pdf, not on the word skill.
StopNever republish the proprietary pdf skill as OSS. Never inline forms.md into the always-loaded body.
Steps
- Check fillable fields with the bundled checker script in scripts/.
- Fillable path: convert pages to images, write fieldvalues.json, run fillfillablefields.py.
- Non-fillable path: try structure extraction first (formstructure.json). If labels are meaningful, use structure-based coordinates. If scanned, fall back to visual estimation. Validate bounding boxes, then fill, then verify output.
- Pushy description that lists every trigger phrase.
- Proprietary license field pointing at LICENSE.txt.
- Short SKILL.md with a task-to-tool table.
- Heavy procedures (forms, advanced APIs) in sibling markdown loaded on demand.
- Deterministic work in scripts/, not in the prompt.
