# Set up PaddleOCR Skills

Install and verify the two skills from the linked repository. Treat this setup
skill as an installer guide; run OCR with the installed target skills.

Use this setup skill when the request mentions PaddleOCR installation or Agent
Skills, or asks for **图片转文字 / 截图识字 / 扫描件 OCR / PDF 转 Markdown /
表格提取 / 公式识别 / 版面分析**. It installs:

- `paddleocr-text-recognition` for screenshots, photos, scans, PDFs, CJK text,
  line-level OCR, and optional bounding boxes.
- `paddleocr-doc-parsing` for structured Markdown/JSON, tables, formulas,
  figures, multi-column layout, and correct reading order.

## Install

1. Confirm the user wants a global, user-level installation.
2. Check Node.js/npx, Python 3.9+, and `uv`. Explain any missing prerequisite
   before using its official installer. Do not use `sudo` or change unrelated
   system settings without permission.
3. Run:

   ```bash
   npx skills add Aidenwu0209/PaddleOCR-Skills --skill '*' -g -y
   ```

4. Run `npx skills list -g --json` and confirm both
   `paddleocr-text-recognition` and `paddleocr-doc-parsing`, including their
   actual install paths.

## Configure safely

- Use https://www.paddleocr.com for the official API and token flow.
- Ask the user to provide the OCR or document-parsing endpoint only when that
  target skill needs it.
- Never invent, print, or store `PADDLEOCR_ACCESS_TOKEN` in chat, command
  history, source files, or logs.
- Report incomplete configuration instead of claiming the OCR service works.

## Finish

Report prerequisite versions, commands executed, installed skill names and
paths, and any configuration still required from the user.
