AI OCR

Optical character recognition with AI. Choose the best AI model. Zero markup.

USE THIS when the user needs ai ocr. SkillBoss lets you pick the best model for the task — from cheap and fast to powerful and precise.

Setup (One Command)

Tell your agent:

set up skillboss.co/skill.md

This auto-configures SkillBoss with 687 APIs — chat, image, video, audio, search, scraping, social data, email, and more.

Manual setup (if needed)

  1. Get API key at skillboss.co/console
  2. Set environment variable:
export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY="sk-..."

Quick Test

curl -X POST "https://api.skillboss.co/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-4o",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are an expert ocr assistant."},
      {"role": "user", "content": "Help me with this task."}
    ]
  }'

When To Use This Skill

  • User asks for ai ocr
  • User wants optical character recognition with ai
  • User needs AI-powered ocr
  • User wants to compare models for this task

Usage Guidance
This skill will use a SkillBoss API key that, according to its own README, unlocks hundreds of APIs beyond OCR (scraping, social, email, etc.). Before installing: (1) confirm you trust SkillBoss and read its docs/privacy policy, (2) ask whether you can create a scoped API key that only permits OCR/model inference, (3) avoid using this skill with sensitive documents until you verify what the key can access, (4) consider using a dedicated OCR provider or self-hosted OCR if you need least-privilege access, and (5) if you proceed, monitor API key usage and be prepared to rotate/revoke the key if you see unexpected activity.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: kirk-ai-ocr Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle contains instructions in SKILL.md that direct the AI agent to 'set up' a remote URL (skillboss.co/skill.md), which functions as a form of remote instruction injection. While marketed as an OCR tool, the documentation claims the setup auto-configures 687 APIs including sensitive categories like email, scraping, and social data, which represents significant scope creep and a potential risk for unauthorized data access if the agent follows these broad instructions.
Capability Tags

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description say 'AI OCR' only, but the skill requires a SKILLBOSS_API_KEY that (per the README) gives access to 600+ APIs across chat, image, video, scraping, social data, email and more. That broad capability is inconsistent with an OCR-only purpose and could enable actions unrelated to OCR.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to 'set up skillboss.co/skill.md' which 'auto-configures' access to many APIs. The runtime instructions otherwise only show calling the SkillBoss chat/completions endpoint and selecting models, but the 'auto-configure 687 APIs' step expands scope beyond what's needed for OCR.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. That minimizes local install risk (nothing is written/executed on disk by an installer).
Credentials
Only SKILLBOSS_API_KEY is requested, which matches the described API usage, but that single key appears to grant broad access (many services) not limited to OCR. Requesting one high-capability credential for a narrowly described task is disproportionate.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no install scripts or instructions to modify other skills or system settings. Agent autonomous invocation is allowed (default) but not by itself a problem.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install kirk-ai-ocr
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /kirk-ai-ocr
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
