refactor: reorganize skills into sub-categories

The skills directory was getting disorganized — mlops alone had 40
skills in a flat list, and 12 categories were singletons with just
one skill each.

Code change:
- prompt_builder.py: Support sub-categories in skill scanner.
  skills/mlops/training/axolotl/SKILL.md now shows as category
  'mlops/training' instead of just 'mlops'. Backwards-compatible
  with existing flat structure.

Split mlops (40 skills) into 7 sub-categories:
- mlops/training (12): accelerate, axolotl, flash-attention,
  grpo-rl-training, peft, pytorch-fsdp, pytorch-lightning,
  simpo, slime, torchtitan, trl-fine-tuning, unsloth
- mlops/inference (8): gguf, guidance, instructor, llama-cpp,
  obliteratus, outlines, tensorrt-llm, vllm
- mlops/models (6): audiocraft, clip, llava, segment-anything,
  stable-diffusion, whisper
- mlops/vector-databases (4): chroma, faiss, pinecone, qdrant
- mlops/evaluation (5): huggingface-tokenizers,
  lm-evaluation-harness, nemo-curator, saelens, weights-and-biases
- mlops/cloud (2): lambda-labs, modal
- mlops/research (1): dspy

Merged singleton categories:
- gifs → media (gif-search joins youtube-content)
- music-creation → media (heartmula, songsee)
- diagramming → creative (excalidraw joins ascii-art)
- ocr-and-documents → productivity
- domain → research (domain-intel)
- feeds → research (blogwatcher)
- market-data → research (polymarket)

Fixed misplaced skills:
- mlops/code-review → software-development (not ML-specific)
- mlops/ml-paper-writing → research (academic writing)

Added DESCRIPTION.md files for all new/updated categories.

description: Extract text from PDFs and scanned documents. Use web_extract for remote URLs, pymupdf for local text-based PDFs, marker-pdf for OCR/scanned docs. For DOCX use python-docx, for PPTX see the powerpoint skill.

# PDF & Document Extraction
For DOCX: use `python-docx` (parses actual document structure, far better than OCR).
For PPTX: see the `powerpoint` skill (uses `python-pptx` with full slide/notes support).
This skill covers **PDFs and scanned documents**.
## Step 1: Remote URL Available?
If the document has a URL, **always try `web_extract` first**:
```
web_extract(urls=["https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.03300"])
web_extract(urls=["https://example.com/report.pdf"])
```
This handles PDF-to-markdown conversion via Firecrawl with no local dependencies.
Only use local extraction when: the file is local, web_extract fails, or you need batch processing.
## Step 2: Choose Local Extractor
| Feature | pymupdf (~25MB) | marker-pdf (~3-5GB) |
|---------|-----------------|---------------------|
| **Text-based PDF** | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Scanned PDF (OCR)** | ❌ | ✅ (90+ languages) |
| **Tables** | ✅ (basic) | ✅ (high accuracy) |
| **Equations / LaTeX** | ❌ | ✅ |
| **Code blocks** | ❌ | ✅ |
| **Forms** | ❌ | ✅ |
| **Headers/footers removal** | ❌ | ✅ |
| **Reading order detection** | ❌ | ✅ |
| **Images extraction** | ✅ (embedded) | ✅ (with context) |
| **Images → text (OCR)** | ❌ | ✅ |
| **EPUB** | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Markdown output** | ✅ (via pymupdf4llm) | ✅ (native, higher quality) |
| **Install size** | ~25MB | ~3-5GB (PyTorch + models) |
| **Speed** | Instant | ~1-14s/page (CPU), ~0.2s/page (GPU) |
**Decision**: Use pymupdf unless you need OCR, equations, forms, or complex layout analysis.
If the user needs marker capabilities but the system lacks ~5GB free disk:
> "This document needs OCR/advanced extraction (marker-pdf), which requires ~5GB for PyTorch and models. Your system has [X]GB free. Options: free up space, provide a URL so I can use web_extract, or I can try pymupdf which works for text-based PDFs but not scanned documents or equations."
---
## pymupdf (lightweight)
```bash
pip install pymupdf pymupdf4llm
```
**Via helper script**:
```bash
python scripts/extract_pymupdf.py document.pdf # Plain text
python scripts/extract_pymupdf.py document.pdf --markdown # Markdown
python scripts/extract_pymupdf.py document.pdf --tables # Tables
python scripts/extract_pymupdf.py document.pdf --images out/ # Extract images
python scripts/extract_pymupdf.py document.pdf --metadata # Title, author, pages
python scripts/extract_pymupdf.py document.pdf --pages 0-4 # Specific pages
```
**Inline**:
```bash
python3 -c "
import pymupdf
doc = pymupdf.open('document.pdf')
for page in doc:
print(page.get_text())
"
```
---
## marker-pdf (high-quality OCR)
```bash
# Check disk space first
python scripts/extract_marker.py --check
pip install marker-pdf
```
**Via helper script**:
```bash
python scripts/extract_marker.py document.pdf # Markdown
python scripts/extract_marker.py document.pdf --json # JSON with metadata
python scripts/extract_marker.py document.pdf --output_dir out/ # Save images
python scripts/extract_marker.py scanned.pdf # Scanned PDF (OCR)
python scripts/extract_marker.py document.pdf --use_llm # LLM-boosted accuracy
```
**CLI** (installed with marker-pdf):
```bash
marker_single document.pdf --output_dir ./output
marker /path/to/folder --workers 4 # Batch
```
---
## Arxiv Papers
```
# Abstract only (fast)
web_extract(urls=["https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.03300"])
# Full paper
web_extract(urls=["https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.03300"])
# Search
web_search(query="arxiv GRPO reinforcement learning 2026")
```
## Notes
- `web_extract` is always first choice for URLs
- pymupdf is the safe default — instant, no models, works everywhere
- marker-pdf is for OCR, scanned docs, equations, complex layouts — install only when needed
- Both helper scripts accept `--help` for full usage
- marker-pdf downloads ~2.5GB of models to `~/.cache/huggingface/` on first use
- For Word docs: `pip install python-docx` (better than OCR — parses actual structure)
- For PowerPoint: see the `powerpoint` skill (uses python-pptx)
