What nano-pdf does

The skill connects an agent to the nano-pdf command-line tool. It passes plain text instructions to edit a chosen page of a document.

You need the nano-pdf binary installed in your environment, which installs via uv. Page indexing can vary by tool version. If an edit lands on an adjacent page, re-run with adjusted indexing and check the exported PDF before sharing it.

Install it if you make quick edits to slides and documents without leaving the terminal.

What it helps with

  • fix typos on a specific PDF page
  • change document titles via the CLI
  • apply PDF edits using plain text instructions

Example prompts for the agent

  • Fix the typo in the subtitle of deck.pdf using nano-pdf
  • Update the presentation title on the cover page of slides.pdf
