liteparse from run-llama/llamaparse-agent-plugins is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add run-llama/llamaparse-agent-plugins/liteparse@v1.0.1Pins v1.0.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill whenever a task involves a document file (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, or image) and you need to read it or pull text, tables, or specific values out of it — to answer a question about its contents, look up a figure, or extract data. Provides fast, local, model-free extraction via the `lit` CLI with disciplined, low-cost search patterns.
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
# Effective LiteParse Extract text from documents locally with the `lit` CLI — a fast, model-free parser. This skill is about using it **cheaply**: each `lit parse` re-runs full extraction, and every line you dump into the conversation is paid for on every subsequent turn. The patterns below come from analyzing real agent traces where the same PDF was parsed up to **9 times** and single image reads cost **140k+ characters** of context. Don't repeat those mistakes. ## The golden rule: parse ONCE to a file, then search the file `lit parse` re-extracts the whole document every time you call it. Re-parsing per search is the #1 waste seen in traces. Parse a document exactly once, to a temp file, then run all your searches against that file: ```bash # ONE TIME, per document. --no-ocr for born-digital PDFs (almost all reports) — much faster. lit parse "/abs/path/doc.pdf" --format text --no-ocr -o /tmp/doc.txt && wc -l /tmp/doc.txt ``` Then search the file with cheap shell tools — **never** re-run `lit parse` to search again. ## Search discipline — minimize ROUND-TRIPS, then keep results small …

How to install
mdr add run-llama/llamaparse-agent-plugins/liteparse@sha256:c4982f937fe569cdThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, 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.
