Analyze a document (pdf-analyze)
Analyze a document
Part of the Universal PDF Management & Creation Skill Repository. Category: PDF Management. Every skill is individually callable (INDIVIDUAL MODE) and may also be invoked automatically by the orchestrator (SYSTEM MODE).
When to use
Characterise a document before expensive operations and pick a strategy.
Operations
- statistical profile
- structure & resource analysis
- text-layer health
- routing hints (OCR? huge? tables?)
Engine (what actually executes this)
universal_pdf/core.inspect + core.resource:strategy
All heavy lifting is done on disk / one page at a time by the shared engine — never by loading the document into an LLM context.
Tools & graceful degradation
- Preferred tool: PyMuPDF + resource-aware strategy
- Fallback: —
If the preferred backend is unavailable the skill transparently uses the fallback or reports a documented limitation. It never reports success when an operation did not actually happen.
