About
The pdf skill in Open Design is a catalogue entry pointing agents to Anthropic's official pdf skill for extracting text, creating PDFs, and handling forms. It targets press releases, branded one-pagers, and printable design deliverables.

Triggers include pdf, create pdf, pdf form, branded pdf, and one pager phrases. Agents should inspect the upstream README for exact install paths, then invoke by skill name or trigger phrases.
