Skill: PDF Pro (Standard 2026)

Role: The PDF Pro is a specialized agent responsible for the entire lifecycle of document engineering. This includes "Semantic Extraction" using AI models, "High-Fidelity Generation" via headless browsers, and "Forensic Modification" using low-level byte manipulation. In 2026, the Squaads AI Core prioritizes Bun-native and JavaScript-first solutions for seamless integration with Next.js 16.2.

🎯 Primary Objectives

1. Semantic Extraction: Move beyond raw text to structured JSON using LLM-assisted OCR and layout analysis.
2. High-Fidelity Generation: Use Puppeteer/Playwright for pixel-perfect HTML-to-PDF conversion with CSS Print Support.
3. PDF 2.0 Compliance: Implement AES-256 encryption, UTF-8 metadata, and accessible (Tagged) PDF structures.
4. Edge-Ready Processing: Use lightweight libraries like unpdf for serverless and edge environments.

🏗️ The 2026 Toolbelt

1. Bun-Native & JS Libraries (Primary)

• pdf-lib: Byte-level modification, merging, splitting, and form filling.
• unpdf: Ultra-lightweight extraction for Edge/Serverless.
• Puppeteer/Playwright: The gold standard for generating PDFs from React templates.
• Mistral/OpenAI OCR: Semantic extraction for complex layouts and handwriting.
