/install pdf
Description
Comprehensive PDF manipulation toolkit for extracting text and tables, creating new PDFs, merging/splitting documents, and handling forms. When Claude needs to fill in a PDF form or programmatically process, generate, or analyze PDF documents at scale.
Usage Guidance
Safe to install as a PDF-processing guide. Treat PDFs as sensitive local documents: confirm input and output filenames, keep backups before modifying files, only decrypt protected PDFs when authorized, and install optional tools or Python packages from trusted sources.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pdf
Version: 0.1.0
The skill bundle, primarily through `SKILL.md`, provides extensive examples for PDF manipulation using both Python libraries and command-line tools such as `pdftotext`, `qpdf`, `pdftk`, and `pdfimages`. The inclusion of command-line tool examples implies the agent will have shell access and perform file system interactions, which are high-risk capabilities. Although these actions are directly aligned with the stated purpose of a 'comprehensive PDF manipulation toolkit,' the inherent risk associated with shell access without clear sandboxing or restrictions warrants a 'suspicious' classification. There is no evidence of intentional malicious behavior, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attempts to subvert the agent's purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The documented capabilities are PDF text/table extraction, PDF creation, merging, splitting, OCR, image extraction, watermarking, rotation, metadata handling, and password protection/removal examples; these are coherent with a PDF manipulation toolkit.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are visible examples and snippets, not hidden automation. One qpdf example decrypts a password-protected PDF, so users should only use it on documents they own or are authorized to modify.
Install Mechanism
The bundle contains only SKILL.md and no executable installer. It references optional Python packages, command-line tools, and missing reference.md/forms.md files, so any later dependencies or extra files should be reviewed separately.
Credentials
Local PDF reads and writes are proportionate to the purpose. The artifact does not request credentials, browser/session data, broad indexing, network upload, or unrelated environment access.
Persistence & Privilege
No persistence mechanism, background worker, privilege escalation, autonomous execution, credential handling, or destructive system-level behavior is present in the supplied artifact.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pdf - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pdf - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
