Description
Extract plain text from PDF documents using the MinerU API. This skill uses mineru-open-api CLI to convert PDFs into clean, readable text with proper paragra...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent: it tells the agent to use the mineru-open-api CLI to extract text from PDFs. Before installing or running it, do the following: (1) inspect the mineru-open-api package on npm (publisher, download counts, source repo) to ensure it's trustworthy; (2) be aware `npm install -g` writes global binaries and may run install scripts—prefer a sandbox or local install (no -g) if you want to be cautious; (3) check MinerU's privacy/terms because using OCR/batch likely uploads document contents to mineru.net (sensitive documents may be exposed); (4) confirm how the MinerU token is stored by the CLI (env var vs config file) before supplying credentials; (5) test with non-sensitive PDFs first. If any of these checks raise concerns (no source repo, questionable publisher, or unclear token handling), do not install or run the CLI.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pdf-to-text
Version: 0.2.0
The skill provides instructions for using the 'mineru-open-api' CLI tool to extract text from PDF documents. The commands and workflows described in SKILL.md are consistent with the tool's legitimate purpose, including support for OCR and batch processing. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (PDF to Text via MinerU) match the SKILL.md: all runtime steps call the mineru-open-api CLI to extract text/OCR. There are no requests for unrelated cloud credentials, config paths, or unrelated binaries.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to installing and running mineru-open-api, checking file sizes, and writing output directories. They operate on user-supplied PDF files and do not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files, exfiltrate data, or call unexpected external endpoints beyond the MinerU service referenced.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec in registry metadata; the SKILL.md instructs users to run `npm install -g mineru-open-api`. Installing a global npm package is a reasonable way to get a CLI but carries the usual npm risks (postinstall scripts, privilege elevation to write global binaries). Recommend reviewing the mineru-open-api npm package and its maintainer before running global install.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, which is consistent with 'flash-extract' being tokenless for small files. SKILL.md does mention that OCR/batch modes require configuring a MinerU token (link provided). The skill does not declare how that token is provided (env var, config file, or interactive login), so users should verify how the CLI stores/reads tokens before providing sensitive credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is instruction-only and not always-enabled. It does not request system-wide persistent privileges or modify other skills' configs. Agent autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not exceptional here.
