Automated summary

A single entry point that routes a request to one of three document sub-commands: read a PDF/Word file, write a markdown document, or fetch documents from the web.

Strengths

  • Explicit --action routing (read, write, scrap) backed by a clear dispatch table
  • Covers the full loop: text extraction, markdown generation, and collection from web sources
  • Automatically forwards remaining arguments to the selected sub-command
  • Simple invocation surface with only one required parameter

Limitations

  • It is only a router: real capability lives entirely in the referenced read/, write/, and scrap/ files
  • No OCR mentioned, so extraction is limited to text-based PDF/Word content, not scanned images
  • Write output is specified as markdown only, not native PDF or Word
When to use it

Use it whenever a task involves reading, producing, or downloading a PDF or Word document.

When not to use it

Avoid it for other formats such as spreadsheets or slide decks, or when the read/write/scrap sub-commands are not installed in the environment.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score85/100

This file is a routing entry point and does not itself contain destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated instructions. However, it delegates to read/write/scrap subcommands, including web document discovery and download, so it carries legitimate but powerful file and network capability risk.

Findings
  • •Delegates to a web-scraping/download subcommand, which may introduce network access and file writes when invoked.
  • •No allowed-tools are declared at this level, so permission scoping depends entirely on the referenced sub-skills.
How this analysis is made

Examples

Read a PDF
Read the file contracts/2024-agreement.pdf and extract the payment terms and termination clauses.
Generate a markdown document
Write a markdown document summarizing our Q3 onboarding process and save it as onboarding.md.

document Skill

Unified entry point for document operations. Routes to the appropriate sub-command based on --action.

Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description | |-----------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------| | --action | Yes | Operation to perform: read, write, or scrap | | --description | No | Broader description of what to do within the action |

Action Routing

| Action | Command | Description | |---------|-------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------| | read | @capability:document:read | Extract text from PDF/Word files into context | | write | @capability:document:write | Generate and deliver markdown documents | | scrap | @capability:document:scrap | Discover and download documents from web sources |

Instructions

  1. Parse --action from the invocation arguments
  2. Delegate to the corresponding command per the table above, forwarding all remaining arguments
  3. Follow the delegated command's own instructions in full

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/document-operations-mrwakesq/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/document-operations-mrwakesq' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/document-operations-mrwakesq/download' --output '.skill-downloads/document-operations-mrwakesq/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/document-operations-mrwakesq/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/document-operations-mrwakesq/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/document-operations-mrwakesq/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
