Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: it uploads receipt files to receiptextract.com using an API token and returns parsed data. Before installing or using it: 1) fix the metadata mismatch—treat RECEIPTEXTRACT_API_TOKEN as required and store it in a secrets manager or environment variable (do not paste it into chat). 2) Be aware you are sending potentially sensitive financial/PII data to a third-party service—review ReceiptExtract's privacy/retention policy and test with non-sensitive receipts first. 3) Inspect scripts/extract_receipt.py locally (you already have it) and run on sample files to confirm behavior and error handling. 4) Verify cost/credits and handle failures (402/429/500) as described. If you need the skill to run offline or keep data local, this implementation is not appropriate because it uploads files externally.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: receiptextract
Version: 1.0.1
The skill bundle is a legitimate tool for extracting structured data from receipt images and PDFs using the ReceiptExtract API. The Python script (scripts/extract_receipt.py) uses standard libraries to perform multipart uploads to the documented endpoint (https://www.receiptextract.com) and handles API tokens securely via environment variables as instructed in SKILL.md.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the included helper script and the documented API. One inconsistency: the registry metadata at top lists 'Required env vars: none', but both SKILL.md and scripts/extract_receipt.py require RECEIPTEXTRACT_API_TOKEN — the token is necessary and expected for this purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructions are narrowly focused: identify files, read API token from env, POST each file to the documented endpoint, and present JSON/CSV/summary output. Instructions explicitly warn not to paste tokens into chat and to avoid committing secrets. The skill does not instruct reading unrelated files or other environment variables.
Install Mechanism
No install spec; included helper is a plain Python script. No downloads from arbitrary URLs, no package installs, and no extract/write-to-disk installer steps — low install risk.
Credentials
The single required secret (RECEIPTEXTRACT_API_TOKEN) is proportional to the service integration. However, the registry metadata failing to declare the required env var is an incoherence that could confuse users. Also, note that providing the token and running the script causes potentially sensitive receipt contents to be transmitted to the third-party API — this is expected but privacy-relevant.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent or elevated privileges (always:false, no config paths, no modification of other skills). It runs as a helper script invoked by the agent; autonomous invocation defaults are unchanged.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install receiptextract - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/receiptextract - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
