All 5 LlamaParse skills

Each skill is one job. You ask in plain words and the agent loads the skill that matches, then follows its steps.

Work with LlamaParse safely and in the right project

Confirms your project first, picks the right LlamaParse tool for the job, and asks before any upload, parse, sync or other change.

Use it when

You have just connected LlamaParse and want to know where to start
You are not sure whether to parse, extract, classify or search a set of files
You want the assistant to check the project and ask before it processes anything

Tools it uses

getUserProjects
parseFile
parseWithLiteParse
generateExtractionConfig
extractFile
classifyFile
splitFile
createIndex
retrieveFromIndex
grepFileFromIndex
estimateFileComplexity
getUploadUrl
uploadFileByUrl
createDirectory
addFilesToDirectory
listDirectory
listIndexes
findFilesInIndex
listDirectories
getIndexStatus
syncIndex
readFileFromIndex

Example

Connect to LlamaParse, confirm my project, and tell me which tool to use to pull the invoice totals out of the 30 PDFs in my finance folder.

Your projects are Finance Ops and Sandbox. I will use Finance Ops; shall I go ahead? For the invoice totals, extraction is the right path, not a full parse. I can estimate the work first: 30 files, with the complexity check run before any processing starts.

Build and audit a search index with LlamaParse

Creates or inspects a LlamaParse retrieval index over your document folder, tracks ingestion until it settles, and tests search with known questions. It asks before creating, syncing or changing anything.

Use it when

Setting up a searchable knowledge base over a folder of contracts or reports
Checking why a search is missing documents you uploaded
Refreshing an existing index after new files arrive

Tools it uses

getUserProjects
listDirectories
listDirectory
listIndexes
getIndexStatus
findFilesInIndex
estimateFileComplexity
createIndex
addFilesToDirectory
uploadFileByUrl
syncIndex
retrieveFromIndex
grepFileFromIndex
readFileFromIndex

Example

Build a search index over the Q3 contracts folder and check that it can find the termination clauses.

The Q3 contracts index is ready for review: 41 files in the folder, 39 indexed, 2 excluded as scanned images with no extractable text. Three test questions returned the right contract, including the termination clause query. Pending your yes: a sync to pick up 4 files added yesterday.

Classify and split documents with LlamaParse

Sorts a mixed batch of files by document type and splits bundled PDFs into their parts, holding low-confidence results for review. It asks before moving or writing any files.

Use it when

You have a folder of mixed invoices, contracts and receipts to sort
A scanned PDF contains several documents stapled together
You need to know which files are unclear before acting on them

Tools it uses

getUserProjects
listDirectory
listDirectories
estimateFileComplexity
readFileFromIndex
splitFile
classifyFile

Example

Sort the 120 files in the intake folder by document type and split any bundles.

I found 120 files in the intake project, 6 of which look like bundles. I split those into 19 sections. 88 documents were classified with high confidence (71 invoices, 17 contracts), and 13 went to the review queue because the top two labels were close. I have not moved any files yet; say the word if you want the sorted layout created.

Extract structured fields from documents

Pulls named fields such as invoice numbers, dates and totals out of documents into structured data. It tests the extraction setup on a varied sample, checks values against the source, and asks before running at scale.

Use it when

Pulling invoice numbers, dates and totals from a folder of PDFs into a sheet
Capturing party names and line items from contracts as JSON
Checking an extraction on a few files before running it on the whole batch

Tools it uses

getUserProjects
listDirectory
generateExtractionConfig
estimateFileComplexity
extractFile

Example

Pull the invoice number, issue date, supplier name and total due from the invoices in my Q3 folder into a table. Test it on a few first.

I'll set up the four fields, then test on 4 invoices: a clean one, a scanned one, a two-page one and one with an unusual layout. Two of the four came back right on every field. The scanned invoice read the total from the subtotal line, so I'll tighten that description and re-test before I run the other 46 files.

Parse documents to markdown with AI

Turns PDFs, scans and reports into clean markdown or text, choosing the parsing path for the document and checking the result against the source before reporting it. It asks before any upload or large batch run.

Use it when

You have a scanned PDF or report that needs to become readable markdown
A parsed table came out as flat paragraphs and you need it fixed
You are converting a batch of mixed files and want to know which ones need the full parser

Tools it uses

getUserProjects
getUploadUrl
uploadFileByUrl
listDirectory
findFilesInIndex
estimateFileComplexity
parseWithLiteParse
parseFile
splitFile

Example

Parse the Q3 board pack PDF into markdown and check the tables are intact.

Q3 board pack, 24 pages, parsed on the full parser because it contains ruled tables. Page coverage: 24 of 24. The revenue table on page 9 came through with all 6 rows and 4 columns. Three figures spot-checked against the source matched. Two pages with headers repeated, which is expected.

How LlamaParse skills work

Connect LlamaParse
The LlamaParse MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Build a search index over the Q3 contracts folder and check that it can find the termination clauses.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install LlamaParse skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect LlamaParse. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the LlamaParse MCP server connected there.

LlamaParse skills FAQ

What is a LlamaParse agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each LlamaParse skill describes one job, which LlamaParse tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the LlamaParse skills change anything on their own?

2 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in LlamaParse.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect LlamaParse; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the LlamaParse MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the LlamaParse MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The LlamaParse MCP setup guide covers every client.
