Overview

The skill is an instruction-only PDF redaction guide that is internally consistent with its stated purpose and does not request extra credentials or install code, though there are small implementation inconsistencies to watch for.

This is a coherent, instruction-only guide for redacting PDFs locally. Before using it: (1) Test on copies of documents — the verify function and thresholds are inconsistent (80% vs 70%) and the 1000-character check may be inappropriate for short papers. (2) Update pattern handling to use proper regular expressions when needed (PyMuPDF's page.search_for() expects literal text; wildcard patterns like '*@*.edu' won't work as written). (3) Be careful with the 'References' detection heuristic (it can misidentify pages). (4) Install PyMuPDF (fitz) from the official package index if you intend to run the code, and review dependency sources. There are no hidden network calls or credential requests in the instructions, but treat this as guidance (not packaged code) and review any code you run locally.
