Agent skill
1 skill

Use when the user has attached a PDF, paper, report, or other document and the answer needs content from more than one place in it: summarize the methods or any other section, compare sections, find where a topic is discussed, read a value or label off a figure or chart, or find/list/extract every instance of something across the whole document (datasets, benchmarks, citations, figures, table rows, accession numbers — including appendices). Skip it only for a single lookup of 1–4 pages quoted in your very next response — readfile(pages=[...]) attaches pages as images that are dropped from context after one turn, so multi-section answers end up re-reading the same ranges repeatedly. Parses the PDF once in the Python kernel: pdfpages (pages as persistent text), pdfoutline (TOC), pdfscan (rank pages by relevance), pdfmap/pdfextract (per-page summary / structured fields via parallel haiku calls). For PDF creation/manipulation, use reportlab/pypdf directly.
