• Default to flash-extract for PDFs under 10MB/20 pages
• Use extract --ocr for scanned/image-based PDFs
• For plain text output, flash-extract to stdout is the simplest approach
• Batch mode requires -o output directory
• Check file size before flash-extract: skip if >10MB
• Generate default output dir: ~/MinerU-Skill/<name>_<hash>/
