For consistency with other entries in the 'OCR Tool Selection' table, consider adding a brief explanation to the 'Why' column. Currently, it only contains a command, whereas other rows explain the benefit of the tool. A short description would improve clarity for users comparing options.

Suggested change
| **Screen/window OCR** | Peekaboo + GLM-OCR | `peekaboo image --analyze --model ollama/glm-ocr` |
| **Screen/window OCR** | Peekaboo + GLM-OCR | For OCR on screenshots or active windows, e.g., `peekaboo image --analyze --model ollama/glm-ocr` |

| **PDF text extraction** | LibPDF | Native PDF parsing, no AI needed |

**Quick start:**

```bash
ollama pull glm-ocr
ollama run glm-ocr "Extract all text" --images /path/to/document.png
```

See `.agent/tools/ocr/glm-ocr.md` for batch processing, PDF workflows, and Peekaboo integration.
