This skill is not a catalogue of ODL's current options. It is a procedure for reading the interface the currently-installed ODL exposes, solving the user's problem with it, verifying the result, and avoiding the silent failures that interface does not reveal. Option names, values, and defaults change between releases, so this skill never spells them — it teaches you to discover them at runtime and interpret them. It is written for any AI agent.
Odl PDF is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the accessibility sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/odl-pdf/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user is using, evaluating, or considering opendataloader-pdf/ODL to extract, parse, or convert PDF content to text, markdown, JSON, or HTML — including scanned-PDF OCR, tables, bounding boxes, or a RAG pipeline over PDFs. Do NOT use for PDF merge/split/rotate, Office-format conversion, form filling, or PDF/UA accessibility-compliance tagging.
The Odl PDF Claude Code skill is built for product managers, product designers, and cross-functional teams planning, shipping, and measuring product features. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 168,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
