ComPDF Skills
ComPDF Skills provide PDF and image parsing, data extraction, document format conversion, and PDF processing capabilities for AI agents, helping them build complete automated document workflows. Before large-model reasoning begins, ComPDF Skills can handle document parsing, OCR, data extraction, and structured preprocessing, turning unstructured files into data that AI can directly understand. This means only the necessary content is passed to the model, reducing token usage, lowering model cost, and significantly improving both document-processing efficiency and answer quality in agent workflows.
- If ComPDF Skills help your workflow, we'd love your ⭐ Star on GitHub.

License and Free Access
After installing ComPDF Skills, sign up to get a License and pass the API Key to your agents to start using it for free.
Installation and Enablement
We recommend installing ComPDF Skills from the GitHub Skills repository and keeping each skill directory together with its SKILL.md, docs/, scripts/, and any bundled resources. If the public repository URL is not finalized yet, replace the placeholders below with the actual repository URL or repository path before publishing.
1. Get Skills from GitHub
Option A: for platforms that support the Agent Skills standard, install directly from the repository path:
npx skills add https://github.com/ComPDFKit/compdf-skills -y
Option B: manually clone or download the GitHub repository and copy the target skill folder:
git clone https://github.com/ComPDFKit/compdf-skills.git
Copy the target skill directory into each agent's supported Skills or Rules location and keep the full folder structure intact.
2. Enable in Mainstream Agent Products
Claude Code
- Install and sign in to Claude Code.
- Install from the GitHub Skills distribution, or use the published skill install entry if one is available.
- If you use the repository-folder method, place the skill directory into Claude Code's skills location and restart the session.
- Start with a natural-language task, or explicitly invoke the skill by name.
If the platform-side published entry is available, the install command usually follows this shape:
claude skill add <namespace>/<skill-name>
claude skill install <skill-url>
Windsurf
- Open your project workspace.
- Place the downloaded skill folder in
.windsurf/skills/compdf-skills/, or use the cross-agent compatible path.agents/skills/compdf-skills/. - Make sure the directory includes
SKILL.mdand all required support files. - Open Cascade and Windsurf will automatically discover the skill.
- Describe the task normally for automatic activation, or use
@compdf-skillsto invoke it manually.
Cline
- Install and open Cline.
- Place the downloaded skill folder in the project-level path
.cline/skills/compdf-skills/, or the global path~/.cline/skills/compdf-skills/. - Open the Cline panel and confirm the skill is discovered and enabled from the Skills entry.
- Start with a natural-language task, or trigger the skill explicitly with
/compdf-skills.
Cursor
Cursor's current official workflow emphasizes Rules and AGENTS.md rather than a standalone native Skills directory.
- Pull the core instruction files from the ComPDF Skills GitHub repository.
- Convert the shared guidance into a project rule such as
.cursor/rules/compdf-skills.mdc, or place anAGENTS.mdfile at the project root as the compatibility layer. - Open Cursor Agent or Cursor CLI. The rule files will load automatically based on configuration.
- Ask for tasks such as conversion, extraction, OCR, or watermarking directly in the agent.
Internal Enterprise Agent Platforms
- Mirror the ComPDF Skills GitHub repository into the internal source-control or artifact system.
- Maintain
SKILL.md, versioning, license files, and support scripts in one controlled package. - Mount the skills directory into the enterprise agent platform, or transform the core instructions into platform-native rule templates.
- We recommend the workflow
ComPDF preprocessing + AI reasoning: parse, convert, and extract first, then pass the result to the model.
Use Cases and Example Prompts
Upload a PDF, image, or other source file. Enter a task instruction such as extracting tables, converting formats, merging PDFs, or adding watermarks. The agent calls the corresponding ComPDF Skill and returns the result. If deeper analysis is needed, pass the processed output to AI afterward.
Example scenarios:
- In ChatGPT, custom agents, and enterprise agent platforms that support skills, users upload reports, white papers, or proposal PDFs, convert them to Markdown or Word first, and then ask AI for summaries, key takeaways, or content restructuring
- In skills-based workflows for invoices, statements, scanned tables, and image attachments, users extract tables and structured data first, then continue with finance review, reimbursement prep, system entry, or automated routing
- When organizing contracts, bids, quotations, delivery files, or archived documents in agent workflows, users first merge, split, watermark, and convert PDFs, then hand them off to AI for organization, naming, or outbound preparation
- In multi-step workflows, users first turn PDF or image files into lightweight CSV, JSON, TXT, or Markdown outputs, then let downstream agents handle field normalization, knowledge-base ingestion, approval flows, or workflow automation
Example prompts:
- Convert this PDF into Word and preserve the layout as much as possible.
- Extract all tables from this PDF and export them as CSV.
- Convert this image into JSON and return structured content.
- Merge these PDFs, add a watermark, and return the final file.
- Convert this report into Markdown first, then summarize the key points.
