Summary

Parse EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) PDF documents into structured environmental impact data — GWP, life cycle stages, certifications, and compliance metrics. Use when the user shares an EPD document or asks to "parse this EPD", extract GWP, or pull impact data from a de

1	# /epd-parser — EPD PDF Parser
2
3	Extract structured environmental impact data from EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) PDF files. Uses PyMuPDF for text extraction and Claude's reasoning to parse varying EPD formats into a standardized 42-column schema.
4
5	EPDs follow ISO 14025 / ISO 21930 / EN 15804 and report life cycle environmental impacts of building products. This skill reads those PDFs and structures the data for comparison, specification, and LEED documentation.
6
7	## Input
8
9	The user provides EPD PDFs in one of these ways:
10
11	1. File paths — one or more PDF file paths
12	2. Folder path — a directory containing PDFs (will process all `.pdf` files)
13	3. Just invoked — ask the user for file paths or a folder
14
15	Also ask (or use defaults):
16
17	- Output destination — Google Sheet, local CSV, or markdown (default: ask)
18
19	## Output Schema
20
21	EPD data uses a 42-column schema — separate from the 33-column FF&E product schema. When writing to CSV, use the same column order.
