SKILL.md - pdf-parser-agent#

Purpose#

Parses local PDF files into structured Markdown and JSON formats using the opendataloader-pdf library, providing deterministic, local data extraction that bypasses LLM context limits for document content ingestion.

Core Technology Attribution#

This skill is built upon opendataloader-pdf, originally developed by bundolee and claude.

Dependencies#

This skill requires Python packages installed system-wide or user-site-wide:

1. opendataloader-pdf

Usage Example#

The skill's execution script dynamically finds the correct user-site packages path, assuming the user has installed the dependency via pip install --user opendataloader-pdf.

bash

# Assuming a PDF exists at 'Files for testing/sample-local-pdf.pdf'
openclaw skill pdf-parser-agent --run --args "Files for testing/sample-local-pdf.pdf"

Implementation Notes#

The underlying logic now uses site.getusersitepackages() to dynamically locate the installed package, maximizing portability across different OS/Python minor versions.
