ocring-pdfs skillA

ocring-pdfs is agent-read markdown (skill) from oaustegard/claude-skills: Adds a searchable text layer to a scanned PDF with ocrmypdf. Installs the toolchain at runtime in ~18s. Use when a PDF's pages are images and the deliverable is a file to keep, grep, or hand to another tool: 'make this PDF searchable', 'OCR this scan', 'I can't select the text in this PDF', 'search across these scanned pages', 'the pdf skill returned nothing'. Handles non-English scans via tesseract language packs. NOT for charts, diagrams, handwriting, or slide layouts. Route those to transcrib.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
