The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Turn documents into cited facts and proposed actions. Extraction is not legal advice, and low-confidence OCR or ambiguous language must remain visible. The ocr-and-documents / pdf / docx skills own extraction mechanics; this skill owns what happens to the extracted content.
Don't use for: plain text extraction with no downstream structuring (load ocr-and-documents directly).
Use read_file for local files and web_extract for URLs to identify files, versions, dates, page counts, language, scan quality, and the requested output schema. Detect duplicate/revised copies before analysis. Done when the authoritative or latest version is known or ambiguity is stated.
Load ocr-and-documents, pdf, or docx. Extract text/tables while retaining file and page/section coordinates. For scans, record OCR confidence or visible quality issues. Done when every extracted field can cite its source location.
Separate:
Do not collapse "may," "should," and "must." Done when modality and uncertainty are preserved.
