install-pdf
SkillDocs & knowledgeInstall the light PDF parser (pdftext, ~50 MB) into an isolated venv. Covers most PDFs with fast, accurate text extraction. For complex layouts (tables, figures, scanned docs), use /rtfm:install-pdf-full instead.

No other account needed.
Add Ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by roomi-fields/rtfm in skills/install-pdf/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.
Install RTFM's light PDF parser by running this command via the Bash tool:
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/rtfm-install-extras" pdf
After it completes, tell the user to restart Claude Code so the MCP server picks up the new extras venv, then run rtfm_sync (or wait for the next UserPromptSubmit hook) to actually index any PDFs in the project.
If the user has complex PDFs (tables, figures, scanned layouts), suggest /rtfm:install-pdf-full instead — that one pulls marker-pdf with a CPU-only torch build (~1.5 GB).
