Description
Rename academic PDF papers to a standardized format "[Year] [Venue] Title.pdf" using a three-stage pipeline (Extract → Verify → Rename). Use when the user as...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: run extract.py to produce a manifest, manually verify entries by editing VERIFIED_DATA in apply_verified.py or by manual edits to the manifest, preview with execute.py --preview, then run execute.py --execute which creates a timestamped backup and moves files. Before running execute.py: (1) inspect manifest.json/manifest_verified.json (they're saved in the scripts directory) to confirm filepaths and entries; (2) install the pypdf dependency in your environment; (3) use the preview mode first to avoid accidental renames; and (4) ensure you have write permission to the target folder/backups. If you want automated web verification, note that the scripts do not perform any network calls — verification is intentionally manual.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pdf-rename
Version: 1.0.0
The pdf-rename skill is a well-structured utility for organizing academic papers through a multi-stage pipeline (Extract, Verify, Rename). The scripts (extract.py, apply_verified.py, and execute.py) perform local file operations and PDF metadata extraction using the standard pypdf library, including safety features like a dry-run mode and automatic timestamped backups. No indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection were found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included scripts (extract.py, apply_verified.py, execute.py). No unrelated binaries, environment variables, or credentials are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the scripts stay within the stated pipeline (Extract → Verify → Rename). Verification is manual (the script expects you to edit VERIFIED_DATA). One minor surprise: manifests (manifest.json / manifest_verified.json) are written inside the scripts directory (not the target folder), and filepaths stored are absolute — review the manifest before executing to ensure paths/entries are what you expect.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with included scripts (no install spec). The only runtime dependency is pypdf (imported in extract.py), which is typical for PDF parsing and must be installed by the user/environment.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are required. The scripts operate on local files only and do not attempt to read unrelated system configuration or secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not modify other skills or system configuration. It creates backups in the target folder when executing renames.
