🚀 Quick tour

After installation, just talk to Claude. The model figures out which tools to call:

You: Merge invoice-jan.pdf and invoice-feb.pdf into Q1.pdf, then compress it hard and lock it with the password "2026q1". Claude (planning): 1. merge_pdf → invoice-jan.pdf + invoice-feb.pdf → Q1.pdf 2. compress_pdf → Q1.pdf → Q1-compressed.pdf (level: extreme) 3. protect_pdf → Q1-compressed.pdf → Q1-compressed-protected.pdf Claude (result): ✅ Created ~/docs/Q1-compressed-protected.pdf (312 KB, password-protected).
