view-pdf

Interactive PDF viewer. Use when the user wants to open, show, or view a PDF and collaborate on it visually — annotate, highlight, stamp, fill form fields, place signature/initials, or review markup together. Not for summarization or text extraction (use native Read instead).

This skill ships only metadata — no inline instructions. See the source repo for details.

Install this skill

1

One command (all agents)

Runs the npx skills CLI which auto-detects every AI coding agent you have installed (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Windsurf, Copilot, and 51 more).

npx skills add https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins
Alternative: shorthand form
npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins
2

Install to a specific agent

Pick the agent you use. The CLI writes the skill to that agent's standard skill directory.

npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --agent claude-code
npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --agent cursor
npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --agent codex
npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --agent opencode
npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --agent github-copilot
npx skills add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins --agent windsurf
3

Manual install (no CLI)

Prefer to skip the CLI? Clone the repo and drop the skill folder into your agent's skills directory.

git clone https://github.com/anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins.git
cp -r knowledge-work-plugins ~/.claude/skills/

For other agents, replace ~/.claude/skills/ with their skill directory — see the full list.

Use it

Once installed, ask your agent to "use the view-pdf skill" or describe what you want (e.g. "Interactive PDF viewer. Use when the user wants to open, show, or view a PDF and"). Most agents auto-discover the skill from its SKILL.md description — no slash command needed.

Requires: Node.js 18+ for npx skills. Skill files are MIT-style permissive by default — check the source repo for the actual license.
