Description
Import reading notes from Kindle HTML exports into the slipbox. Use when user sends a Kindle notebook export file (HTML/XHTML). Parses book title and author, extracts only user's Notes (skips Highlights), then runs slipbot for each.
Usage Guidance
This skill is instruction-only and appears coherent: it parses a Kindle HTML/XHTML export, shows you a preview (title, author, note count), asks for confirmation, then delegates each note to slipbot. Before installing, verify you trust the slipbot integration (where notes will be stored) and that you want the contents of your Kindle export imported. Because the skill source/homepage is unknown, consider testing with a non-sensitive sample file first. Also confirm how your agent receives attachments (e.g., Telegram) and that those transport/storage policies meet your privacy expectations.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: slipbot-kindle-importer
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw skill 'slipbot-kindle-importer' is designed to parse Kindle HTML exports and import user notes into a slipbox via a 'slipbot' tool. The `SKILL.md` instructions are clear, focused on the stated purpose, and include a user confirmation step before processing notes. There is no evidence of prompt injection against the agent, data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or other harmful behaviors. The interaction with the 'slipbot' tool appears to be a structured invocation aligned with the skill's functionality.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the actual instructions: parse Kindle HTML/XHTML, extract 'Note' entries (skip 'Highlight'), show a precheck, and call slipbot for each note. No unrelated binaries, env vars, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md limits actions to parsing the provided Kindle export, summarizing metadata, prompting the user for confirmation, and invoking slipbot per note. It does not instruct reading arbitrary system files or accessing unrelated environment variables. The only slight ambiguity is the invocation of 'slipbot' (assumes a slipbot capability/skill is present to accept the formatted note).
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — nothing is written to disk or downloaded during install.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The skill's needs (none) are proportional to its parsing/import purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no persistence or system-wide configuration changes are requested. The skill will invoke slipbot at runtime but does not request elevated or permanent privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install slipbot-kindle-importer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/slipbot-kindle-importer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
