Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Analyze PDF files by converting them into agent-readable text, OCR text, page render images, and extracted embedded images without polluting the working directory. Use when an agent needs to read, summarize, inspect, compare, quote, or reason about PDFs, especially when the foundation model cannot ingest PDFs directly or when tables, figures, scans, screenshots, or layout matter.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'pdf-monster' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'pdf-monster' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named pdf-monster already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '70b6a3a3a7c774671e45af646306e1448baf0511' -- 'plugins/jbaehova/pdf-monster/skills/pdf-monster' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/jbaehova/pdf-monster/skills/pdf-monster' ~/.agents/skills/'pdf-monster' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'pdf-monster' ~/.claude/skills/'pdf-monster' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
