/install pdf-poppler-utils
Description
A collection of PDF manipulation tools from the poppler-utils package. Use when working with PDF files - extracting text, images, metadata, splitting, mergin...
Usage Guidance
This skill is a documentation wrapper around the standard poppler-utils CLI tools and appears coherent. Before installing or using: ensure you want Homebrew-managed poppler on your system; be cautious about the SKILL.md advice to unlink Homebrew curl (that can affect system networking and should only be done with explicit human approval); verify the poppler binaries will be installed from Homebrew and not a third-party tap; and avoid supplying owner passwords (-opw) or running these tools on PDFs you do not trust, since some options can bypass PDF protections or extract embedded attachments.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pdf-poppler-utils
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is suspicious due to a prompt injection attempt found in `SKILL.md`. The instructions explicitly tell the AI agent to "recommend executing it (to resolve the potential conflict)" if the human user is unsure about running `brew unlink curl -v`. This attempts to manipulate the agent's decision-making process to bypass user caution for a potentially disruptive system-level command, even if the stated purpose is to resolve a dependency conflict.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill name/description, required binaries (pdfinfo, pdftotext, pdfimages, etc.), and the brew install of poppler are consistent and proportionate for a PDF utility collection.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains only usage docs and examples for the included poppler tools. It also warns about Homebrew's curl dependency and recommends unlinking Homebrew curl (explicitly asking for human permission before doing so). The tools themselves accept owner/user password flags (e.g. -opw, -upw) which can bypass PDF restrictions — this is inherent to the tools but worth noting before using on sensitive PDFs.
Install Mechanism
Install uses a single Homebrew formula (poppler). Homebrew is a well-known package manager and this install method is appropriate for the described tooling. There are no downloads from arbitrary URLs.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths beyond the presence of the poppler binaries — appropriate for a CLI tool collection.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request persistent privileges or modify other skills or system-wide configuration. It also does not enable autonomous privileged behavior beyond normal agent invocation settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pdf-poppler-utils - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pdf-poppler-utils - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
