pdf-explore

Use this skill 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). Parses the PDF once with a deterministic Python kernel: pdf_pages (pages as persistent text, or high-res images), pdf_outline (embedded TOC), pdf_scan (a lexical pre-filter that narrows a long doc to candidate pages), pdf_grep (regex sweep for exhaustive pattern extraction). You read the shortlist and do the relevance / summary / extraction judgment yourself. For PDF creation/manipulation, use reportlab/pypdf directly.
