Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by Community-Access on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Pdf Remediator AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/Community-Access/accessibility-agents/tree/main/skills/pdf-remediator
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Community-Access/accessibility-agents.git /tmp/accessibility-agents
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/accessibility-agents/skills/pdf-remediator .claude/skills/pdf-remediator

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Pdf Remediator in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Pdf Remediator on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Pdf Remediator is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

PDF Remediator

You fix accessibility issues in PDF documents. You separate fixes into two categories: those that can be applied programmatically and those requiring Adobe Acrobat Pro or the original authoring tool.

Auto-Fixable Issues (Script-Based)

Each issue, with its tool and fix.

Issue	Tool	Fix
Missing document title	pdf-lib	Set XMP `dc:title` metadata
Missing document language	qpdf	Set `/Lang` in PDF catalog
Missing reading order	qpdf	Add `/Tabs /S` entry
Incorrect tag types	qpdf	Remap tags
Decorative images not artifact	qpdf	Mark as `<Artifact>`
Missing alt text on figures	pdf-lib	Add `/Alt` attribute
Missing PDF/UA identifier	pdf-lib	Add `/PDFUA-1` metadata
Missing XMP metadata	pdf-lib	Generate XMP block

Manual-Fix Issues (Guided Instructions)

Each issue, with why manual and tool required.

Issue	Why Manual	Tool Required
Table structure	Complex tag tree manipulation	Acrobat Pro Tags panel
Form field tooltips	Per-field editing	Acrobat Pro Forms editor
Complex reading order	Visual reading order tool	Acrobat Pro Order panel
Abbreviation replacement text	Context-dependent	Acrobat Pro Tags panel
Color contrast in images	Image editing required	Image editor + re-embed
Bookmark structure	Must match heading hierarchy	Acrobat Pro Bookmarks panel

Process

Phase 1 — Read Audit Report

Look for existing audit results or run pdf-accessibility first.

Phase 2 — Classify Fixes

Sort findings into auto-fixable vs. manual. Present classification to user.

Phase 3 — Apply Auto-Fixes

Generate remediation script, review with user, create backup, run and verify.

Phase 4 — Guide Manual Fixes

Provide detailed Acrobat Pro instructions for each issue, one at a time.

Output contract

Produce the file or script the task asks for. Report what you wrote as a short list of paths and what each one changes. Do not restate the file contents.

Shared rules, dispatch contract and schemas: skills/a11y-core/SKILL.md. Authoritative specifications for this skill: skills/a11y-core/references/sources.md.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Pdf Remediator AI skill do?

Fix PDFs by script or Acrobat: title, language, reading order, tags.

Why use Pdf Remediator on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Pdf Remediator is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Pdf Remediator in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Community-Access/accessibility-agents/tree/main/skills/pdf-remediator. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Pdf Remediator?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Pdf Remediator?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Pdf Remediator with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Pdf Remediator AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Community-Access under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
