Naps2 Scan
Entry point for scanning paperwork with NAPS2. Drives a document scan end-to-end: invoke NAPS2.Console.exe to scan with OCR, chain into simplex-merge when scanning a double-sided document on a simplex scanner, and propose a content-derived filename. Use for ANY request to scan paperwork or digitize a document, including conversational variants like "scan this", "let's scan", "scan another", "scan again", "scan the next one", "new scan", "start scanning", "digitize this receipt/letter/invoice/bill/statement", or "run NAPS2". Also handles batch mode — scanning a whole stack of separate documents in one pass ("scan this stack", "batch scan", "these are multiple documents") — by chaining into `split-batch` after the scan to separate the bundle into one PDF per document. Also triggers when the user already has fresh scan output and wants to continue the pipeline (OCR, merge, name, rename). This is the starting-point skill for scanning; `simplex-merge` is post-processing only and should not be picked for new-scan requests.
