Academic paper summarization with dynamic SOP selection based on paper topic classification. Supports method, dataset, multimodal, and other paper types with...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk, but review a few things before installing: 1) Confirm you are comfortable that summaries and the raw prompts will be saved to local disk (research/{domain}/...) — if you process confidential papers, those files may contain sensitive text. 2) Inspect templates/sop_templates.ts (the included system prompt) to ensure the behavior and output format (strict JSON with embedded Markdown/LaTeX) match how you plan to consume results. 3) Note documentation inconsistencies (SKILL.md references different file paths; length requirements vary across files). These are not security issues but could cause runtime mismatches. 4) Because the skill enforces long, detailed outputs, check resource/time expectations when batch-processing many papers. If you want extra assurance, run the skill in a sandboxed environment, examine the files it writes, and confirm no unexpected network activity occurs during use.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: paper-summarize-academic
Version: 1.0.1
The OpenClaw skill 'paper-summarize-academic' is designed for academic paper summarization, saving structured output and prompts to local files. All instructions to the AI agent in `SKILL.md` and `templates/sop_templates.ts` are focused on the summarization task, defining the agent's persona, output format, and quality standards. File write operations are explicitly stated and necessary for the skill's function, and `USAGE_EXAMPLE.md` shows filename sanitization (`safeTitle = title.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g, '_');`), which is a good security practice. There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or prompt injection designed to subvert the agent for harmful purposes.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (academic paper summarization with dynamic SOP selection) matches what the skill provides: instruction-driven behavior and topic-specific SOP templates (templates/sop_templates.ts). Required capabilities (local summary writing, prompt tracking, batch processing) are consistent with the stated purpose. The only mismatch is that SKILL.md references SOP locations (src/lib/agents/topic-sops.ts and summarization_prompt.ts) that do not exist in the provided file manifest; the actual template file is templates/sop_templates.ts. This appears to be a documentation/path mismatch rather than a functional or malicious inconsistency.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions instruct the agent to generate structured analysis and save summaries and prompts to local directories (research/{domain}/ai_summaries/ and research/{domain}/prompts/). That is within scope for a summarizer. There are no instructions to read unrelated system files, access environment variables, or send data to external endpoints. Minor inconsistencies: the SKILL.md and README list different minimum lengths/word-vs-character constraints in places, and the system prompt requires output to be valid JSON while also asking for Markdown-style formatting inside text fields (this is feasible because Markdown can be embedded as JSON strings but is a subtle constraint the implementer must handle).
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only skill with a small template file). This is low-risk: nothing is downloaded or executed on install, and no package managers or external URLs are used.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no primary credential, and no required config paths. The declared behavior (local file writes) is consistent with lacking external credentials. There are no unexplained credential requests.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and uses the default agent invocation model. It writes only to its own output directories as described; there is no evidence it modifies other skills or global agent configuration.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install paper-summarize-academic - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/paper-summarize-academic - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
