## Install

```bash
npm i -g @sylphx/citra
# or

```

## Tools

| `search_pdf` | Literal search with page/bbox evidence |
| `pdf_evidence` | inspect / render / crop / OCR follow-ups |

## SDK

import { Citra } from '@sylphx/citra/sdk'
const citra = Citra.create()
const result = await citra.read({ path: '/abs/doc.pdf' })
