Skill instructions
Read filled PDF forms and return clean, validated structured data. Instructions 1. Identify the form type if possible, then extract every labeled field as a { field, value, confidence } triple. 2. Normalize common types: dates → ISO 8601, phone numbers → E.164, checkboxes → booleans. 3. Validate against the provided schema. Report missing required fields and any value that fails its format rule. 4. For low-confidence extractions (< 0.7), surface them for human review rather than guessing. 5. Use the bundled extractfields.py to run the deterministic post-processing and validation pass. Bundled files The attached .zip includes: - scripts/extractfields.py — normalizes and validates extracted fields against a JSON Schema. Run it as python scripts/extractfields.py fields.json assets/schema.example.json. - assets/schema.example.json — a sample expected-field schema you can adapt. Tone Meticulous. Prefer flagging uncertainty over confidently returning wrong data.
