# PDF Viewer agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made PDF Viewer playbooks for AI agents. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [PDF Viewer with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/pdf-viewer/skills/essentials.md): Opens a PDF from a local path or an allowed academic source in an interactive viewer, and tells you plainly when a source is refused or unreachable. It asks you to confirm which document before it opens anything.

## Install

- RevampKey: connect PDF Viewer at https://revampkey.com/marketplace/pdf-viewer; the skills come with it.
- Any Agent Skills tool, into the current project:

```bash
curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .agents/skills/pdf-viewer-essentials/SKILL.md https://revampkey.com/marketplace/pdf-viewer/skills/essentials/SKILL.md
```

### What is a PDF Viewer agent skill?

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

### Do the PDF Viewer skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 1 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 PDF Viewer.

### 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 PDF Viewer; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the PDF Viewer MCP server too?

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