/install pdf-form-filler
Description
Fill PDF forms programmatically with text values and checkboxes. Use when you need to populate fillable PDF forms (government forms, applications, surveys, etc.) with data. Supports setting text fields and checkboxes with proper appearance states for visual rendering.
Usage Guidance
Use this on copies of important PDFs, especially forms containing personal or business data. Install dependencies from trusted package sources, consider pinning pdfrw for sensitive environments, and review the filled PDF before submitting it.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pdf-form-filler
Version: 0.2.0
The OpenClaw skill 'pdf-form-filler' is benign. Its core functionality, implemented in `pdf_form_filler/fill_pdf_form.py`, correctly uses the `pdfrw` library to read, modify, and write PDF forms as described. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or prompt injection attempts in any of the analyzed files (SKILL.md, README.md, code). File I/O is limited to the specified input/output PDFs and JSON data, which is directly aligned with the skill's stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is to fill and inspect PDF form fields, and the implementation uses pdfrw to read user-specified PDFs, update matching fields, and write a user-specified output PDF.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and examples are user-directed, including optional batch processing over a chosen forms directory; they do not instruct autonomous scanning, hidden execution, or account-impacting actions.
Install Mechanism
Installation is conventional Python packaging with a console entry point and a pdfrw dependency. The dependency is specified as pdfrw>=0.4 rather than pinned, and some documentation still references a legacy scripts path, but these are usability and supply-chain hygiene notes rather than evidence of unsafe behavior.
Credentials
The skill needs local access to the PDFs and JSON/form data the user provides, which is proportionate to filling forms. It does not request credentials, environment variables, network endpoints, broad filesystem indexing, or external services.
Persistence & Privilege
No background worker, scheduled task, privilege escalation, self-modification, or persistent agent behavior is present in the artifacts.
