Description
Sync and manage Overleaf LaTeX projects from the command line. Pull projects locally, push changes back, compile PDFs, and download compile outputs like .bbl...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: manage Overleaf projects via a CLI. Before installing or using it, verify the upstream project (check the GitHub repo and npm package @aloth/olcli and the Homebrew tap aloth/tap) to ensure you trust the maintainer. Be cautious when copying your overleaf_session2 cookie from the browser — that cookie is equivalent to logging in and can be used to access your account. Consider creating a dedicated Overleaf account or revoking the session after use, inspect the package code before installing, and prefer installing from a verified source (official GitHub/npm repo) rather than an unknown tap. If you are uncomfortable providing a session cookie, do not install/use the tool.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: olcli
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a legitimate interface for managing Overleaf projects via the 'olcli' command-line tool. It includes standard installation procedures via Homebrew and npm, and handles authentication through session cookies stored locally in standard configuration paths (~/.config/olcli-nodejs/config.json). No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found in the SKILL.md, install.sh, or API.md files.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the SKILL.md, which documents olcli commands for listing, pulling, pushing, compiling, and downloading Overleaf project outputs. The commands and workflows described are coherent with a CLI for Overleaf.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions only instruct the user to supply the Overleaf session cookie and run the olcli commands. The SKILL.md and references explain where the cookie is stored and how project metadata (.olcli.json) is written. There are no instructions to read unrelated files or exfiltrate data to unknown endpoints.
Install Mechanism
There is no forced install spec in registry metadata (instruction-only), and scripts/install.sh simply tries Homebrew then npm. SKILL.md recommends tapping aloth/tap and installing @aloth/olcli from npm. This is reasonable but relies on a third‑party Homebrew tap and an npm package — verify the tap/package owners and package contents before installing.
Credentials
The tool legitimately requires an Overleaf session cookie (overleaf_session2). references/API.md also documents an optional OVERLEAF_SESSION environment variable and local/global credential files. The registry metadata lists no required env vars; this mismatch is minor but worth noting. Providing the session cookie grants the tool full session-level access to your Overleaf account, so treat it like a password.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not modify other skills, and stores credentials in standard local config paths (~/.config/olcli-nodejs/config.json or .olauth). No elevated system privileges are requested.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install olcli - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/olcli - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
