What this skill does

It extracts text and layout from scans, handwritten notes and complex forms while keeping the original arrangement hints in the output. Before calling, an API key must be written to the clawdbot env file, which the script reads after checking the environment. The free tier covers 100 pages per day, and what happens beyond that depends on the account. Selected documents are uploaded to the LLMWhisperer/Unstract API. Process only files permitted for third-party handling under the applicable privacy and compliance requirements, and protect the API key with restrictive permissions or a secret manager.
