How does the Reading Receipt skill handle PDF files?

It first attempts to extract text directly from the PDF. If the file is a scan or lacks digital text data, it automatically converts the PDF to a PNG image for vision-based OCR analysis.

Can I process an entire folder of receipts at once?

Yes, the skill supports glob patterns and multiple file paths, allowing you to process large batches of images or documents in a single workflow.

What is the 'Dual Verification' feature?

To ensure maximum accuracy, the skill can run two independent Claude agents in parallel to analyze the same image and compare their results. If they disagree, the user is prompted to verify the correct data.

Does it support Japanese calendar dates like Reiwa or Heisei?

Yes, the skill is specifically designed to recognize Japanese era names and automatically convert them into the standard YYYY-MM-DD Gregorian format used in accounting.
