Summarize PDF - Quick Content Extraction\r
\r Convert PDF files to clean Markdown using MinerU Open API. No API key required.\r \r
Quick Start\r
\r
# Summarize PDF - Quick Content Extraction\r
mineru-open-api flash-extract report.pdf\r
\r
# Summarize PDF - Quick Content Extraction\r
mineru-open-api flash-extract https://cdn-mineru.openxlab.org.cn/demo/example.pdf\r
\r
# Summarize PDF - Quick Content Extraction\r
mineru-open-api flash-extract report.pdf -o ./output/\r
\r
# Summarize PDF - Quick Content Extraction\r
mineru-open-api flash-extract report.pdf --pages 1-10\r
```\r
\r
## Language Rule\r
\r
You MUST reply to the user in the SAME language they use. This is non-negotiable.\r
\r
## Capabilities\r
\r
- Extracts text, tables, and formulas from PDF\r
- Supports both local files and URLs directly\r
- Page range selection with `--pages`\r
- Language hint with `--language` (default: `ch`, use `en` for English)\r
- No API key, no signup, no authentication\r
- Max 10MB / 20 pages per document\r
\r
## When to Use\r
\r
- User asks to "read", "extract", "convert", or "parse" a PDF\r
- User shares a PDF file or PDF link and asks for its content\r
- User wants to summarize or analyze a PDF document\r
- User needs PDF content in Markdown format\r
\r
## CLI Reference\r
\r
Run `mineru-open-api flash-extract --help` for all available options.\r
\r
## Data Flow\r
\r
`flash-extract` sends the document to the MinerU API (mineru.net) for processing and returns Markdown. This is a stateless API call — no account, no persistent storage. MinerU is an open-source project by OpenDataLab (Shanghai AI Lab): https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU\r
\r
## Notes\r
\r
- Output is Markdown only; images/tables/formulas may be replaced with placeholders\r
- For larger files (up to 200MB/600 pages) or precision extraction with full assets, use `mineru-open-api extract` (requires auth via `mineru-open-api auth`)\r
- If the CLI cannot be installed via npm/uv/go, download it from https://mineru.net/ecosystem?tab=cli\r
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it claims, but it uploads PDFs to an external service (mineru.net) when you run flash-extract. Do not use it for sensitive or confidential documents unless you trust MinerU's privacy and handling. Before installing, check the mineru-open-api package and GitHub repo (popularity, maintainers, license, recent commits) to ensure it is reputable. Consider testing with non-sensitive PDFs first, and if you need extraction without sending data externally, look for an offline/open-source tool you can run locally instead. If you want, I can help inspect the mineru-open-api npm package/GitHub repo for indicators of trustworthiness.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: summarize-pdf
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a wrapper for the 'mineru-open-api' CLI, designed to convert PDF files to Markdown using the MinerU API (hosted by OpenDataLab/Shanghai AI Lab). While the tool sends PDF content to an external endpoint (mineru.net) for processing, this behavior is clearly documented in SKILL.md as the primary function. There is no evidence of malicious intent, credential theft, or unauthorized command execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the declared requirements: the skill requires the mineru-open-api CLI and the SKILL.md instructs using that CLI to extract PDF content. Install options (npm/uv/go) and the binary name align with the stated functionality.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions explicitly upload the provided PDF (file or URL) to the MinerU API (mineru.net) and return Markdown. That behavior is consistent with the skill's purpose, but it involves transmitting user documents to an external service. The SKILL.md does not instruct reading unrelated files or environment variables.
Install Mechanism
Installers are standard package mechanisms (npm, uv, go install / GitHub path). This is reasonable for a CLI tool. As a precaution, verify the mineru-open-api package and the referenced GitHub repo before installing (npm packages and third-party CLIs can execute code locally).
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportional to a CLI-based PDF extraction tool. The SKILL.md does note different behavior for a higher-precision mode that requires auth, which is appropriate.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request persistent privileges. There is no indication it will modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install summarize-pdf - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/summarize-pdf - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
