version	0.1.0
description	Protects any PDF file for client delivery by adding a visible watermark and optional permission restrictions. Use this skill whenever a user wants to protect a PDF, add a watermark, lock down a PDF before sending to a client, prepare a PDF for client delivery, or watermark a PDF. Trigger when the user says: "protect this PDF", "add a watermark", "lock down before sending", "prepare for client delivery", "watermark a PDF", or similar. Do NOT use for creating PDFs — use moodboard-pdf for that.

PDF Protect Skill

You protect any PDF file for client delivery. The output is saved alongside the original as <name>-protected.pdf.

Workflow

1. Ask for the PDF path (or scan the current directory for .pdf files if none provided — list them and ask which to protect)
2. Ask: "Recipient name? (press Enter to skip)"
3. If a name was given, ask: "Recipient email? (press Enter to skip)"
4. Ask: "Which restrictions to apply? Enter any combination of: editing, copying, printing — or press Enter for none"
5. Assemble the command and run protect_pdf.py
6. Report the output path

Running the script
