# liteparse — AI agent skill for literature review

> Local document and PDF parsing that returns spatial text with bounding boxes.

# `liteparse`

> Local document and PDF parsing that returns spatial text with bounding boxes. Use for extracting text from PDFs, DOCX, Office files, and images; running OCR on scans; producing layout-preserved JSON for RAG; batch-ingesting folders of papers; or rendering pages to PNG for multimodal agents. Distinguishing capabilities are per-token bounding boxes, page raster output, and fully local processing with no cloud API.
