Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jun 22, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x

Merged 6 PDFs, filled a government form, extracted tables from a scanned invoice via OCR. OCR quality depends on scan quality, as expected.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 9/10
Docs & honesty 4/5

What it does

Everything PDF: extraction, merging, splitting, watermarks, form filling, encryption and OCR on scans. One of the most broadly useful skills in the ecosystem — it removes a whole category of paid web tools.

Install

git clone https://github.com/anthropics/skills
