PDF Transcribe

Turn PDFs into strict, per-page Markdown notes using the required format and Ekphrasis rules.

When to use

Use this skill when the user wants:

• page-by-page transcription for a PDF (slide decks are a common case)
• strict # PAGE_N: / # PAGE_N-M: blocks
• Ekphrasis transcription (no commentary)
• a batching workflow (read 10 pages, write 10 pages) to control context size

End-to-end workflow (required)

When the user asks to transcribe a PDF:

2. Inside it, create two subfolders: lr/ and hr/.
3. Render PDF pages into both folders:
