What it does
Use this skill when the user supplies a filled PDF form and needs its fields extracted and validated against an expected schema.
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.
