What problem does it solve?
Many NanoClaw agents cannot natively read or extract text from PDF documents sent via chat, URLs, or stored locally, which prevents automation workflows from understanding and summarizing reports, contracts, and other documents. This skill adds deterministic PDF extraction so agents can process PDF content safely inside their containerized runtime without exposing the host.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Adds a pdf-reader CLI that wraps poppler-utils (pdftotext/pdfinfo) for extract, fetch, info, and list operations.
- Integrates PDF handling into the container image by merging poppler-utils and installing a pdf-reader script, and patches the WhatsApp channel to auto-download PDF attachments into the group's attachments/ directory.
- Use cases: have an agent summarize a report sent via WhatsApp, fetch and index a public PDF URL, or extract specific pages/tables from a saved report.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to read attachments/report.pdf and summarize the document's main points.
