# OpenCLI Agent Pack: Tesseract OCR

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `tesseract`.

## What this CLI is for
Image OCR, scanned text, and document extraction from the terminal. Built by Tesseract OCR. Runs entirely on your machine.

Best for: image ocr, scanned text, and document extraction from the terminal.

## Agent readiness
Usable with guardrails (60/100)
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Works well in CI or repeatable automation.
- Can run locally with less credential exposure.

## Install
```sh
brew install tesseract
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
tesseract --version
```
Expected signal: tesseract responds locally and is ready for the first real command.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
tesseract --version
```

```sh
tesseract image.png stdout
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.
- Network access is required; avoid leaking secrets in logs.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use Tesseract OCR (`tesseract`) for image ocr, scanned text, and document extraction from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
