liteparse SKILL.md skillA
liteparse from k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/liteparse@v1.6Pins v1.6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Local document and PDF parsing that returns spatial text with bounding boxes. Use for extracting text from PDFs, DOCX, Office files, and images; running OCR on scans; producing layout-preserved JSON for RAG; batch-ingesting folders of papers; or rendering pages to PNG for multimodal agents. Distinguishing capabilities are spatial text boxes, Markdown, page raster output, and local parsing with optional custom HTTP OCR.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# LiteParse — Local Document Parsing ## Overview LiteParse is an open-source document parser (Rust core, Python/Node bindings) for **local, layout-aware text extraction**. It produces layout text, structured JSON, or heuristic Markdown. Spatial text items may span several words; Python `emit_word_boxes=True` adds word boxes when needed. **Verified release:** Python **liteparse 2.15.0** (September 29, 2026); CLI and synthetic local PDF/image fixtures tested on Python 3.13. Node/Rust examples below are source-checked and illustrative. Images convert through bundled Rust libraries, not ImageMagick. No cloud account is needed, but missing Tesseract language data can download from GitHub and an explicitly configured HTTP OCR service receives document images. For parser selection vs MarkItDown, PDF manipulation libraries, or LlamaParse, see `references/choosing_a_parser.md`. ## When to Use This Skill Use LiteParse when you need: - **Fast local parsing** of PDFs or converted Office/image files without cloud dependencies - **Spatial text** with bounding boxes for layout-aware RAG, citation grounding, or figure/table region logic …

How to install
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/liteparse@sha256:02a789c7959670cbThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
