Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent: it expects the mineru-open-api CLI and uses it to upload documents to MinerU's cloud to produce Markdown. Before installing or using it, consider: 1) Do not upload sensitive or confidential documents unless you trust mineru.net and have verified their privacy/storage policy. The SKILL.md's claim that documents are not stored is not provable from the skill itself. 2) Verify the mineru-open-api package source (npm package and the GitHub repo) and prefer installing from a trusted origin; downloading binaries from the website is higher risk. 3) If you must convert sensitive files offline, look for local/offline tools instead. 4) If you proceed, review CLI install commands, verify checksums or repo authenticity, and run the CLI in a controlled environment (sandbox/container) if possible.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: slides-to-markdown
Version: 1.0.0
The skill installs and utilizes a third-party CLI tool (mineru-open-api) that uploads local documents (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX) to an external cloud API (mineru.net) for processing. While this behavior is documented in SKILL.md as the primary method for document conversion, the automatic exfiltration of potentially sensitive user files to a remote service without authentication or an API key poses a significant privacy risk. No evidence of intentional malice or hidden backdoors was found, but the inherent risk of data handling justifies a suspicious classification.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (convert DOCX/PPTX/XLSX to Markdown) matches the runtime instructions and the single required binary (mineru-open-api). There are no unrelated env vars or bizarre binaries requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run mineru-open-api flash-extract on local files or URLs and explicitly states that documents are uploaded to MinerU's cloud for processing. This is consistent with the stated purpose, but it means user files are transmitted to an external service — a privacy/data-exfiltration consideration (expected behavior for this skill, but important for users to know).
Install Mechanism
Installers are standard package mechanisms (npm, go install) pointing to mineru-open-api and a GitHub repo. npm/go install is typical but introduces the usual supply-chain risk; SKILL.md also suggests downloading from mineru.net as a fallback, which is higher risk because it may pull arbitrary binaries from the website.
Credentials
No environment variables or credentials are requested by the skill. The SKILL.md claims no API key or signup is required for flash-extract, which aligns with the lack of declared credentials. However, the tool will upload documents to a third-party service, so absence of creds does not eliminate privacy risk.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is instruction-only (no code persisted by the skill itself). It does not request system-wide privileges or modify other skills' configs. Normal autonomous invocation is allowed (default) and appropriate for this type of skill.
