simplex-mergelisted

Merge two existing PDF files (odd pages + even pages) into one correctly ordered document. Post-processing only — this skill does NOT drive a scanner. Use ONLY when the user already has two PDF files in the working directory that represent the fronts and backs of a double-sided document. Typical cues: filenames containing "ungerade"/"gerade" (German), "odd"/"even", or "front"/"back", or the user explicitly asks to merge, interleave, or combine two existing PDFs. Do NOT use this skill to start a new scan or to digitize paperwork — for scanning, use the `naps2-scan` skill instead.

This skill does **not** drive the scanner — if the user wants to *start* scanning, hand off to `naps2-scan`. When scanning double-sided documents with a single-sided (simplex) scanner, you end up with two files: - **Odd pages** (front sides, often named "ungerade") — in correct order - **Even pages** (back sides, often named "gerade") — in **reverse** order, because the user flips the stack to scan the backs, so the last even page is scanned first ## When to Use - The user already has **two existing PDF files** in the working directory that look like front/back halves of a double-sided document. - Filenames contain `ungerade`/`gerade`, `odd`/`even`, or `front`/`back`. - The user explicitly asks to "merge these", "interleave these PDFs", "combine odd and even", or similar. ## When NOT to Use - The user wants to **start a new scan** (phrases like "scan this", "let's scan", "scan another", "digitize") — use the `naps2-scan` skill instead. This skill will not produce scans. - The user has only one PDF file — no merge needed. - The user has more than two scan PDFs — this skill pairs exactly one odd file with one even file. ## Prerequisites - **`uv` on PATH** — the skill's merge script un
