\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 will upload any PDF you convert to mineru.net for processing. Before installing or sending sensitive documents: (1) review mineru.net and the mineru-open-api package source (npm/GitHub) to confirm authenticity, (2) avoid uploading confidential/PII documents unless you trust the service and its privacy terms, (3) consider running the CLI in a sandbox or network-restricted environment to inspect network activity, and (4) if you need offline conversion, use an entirely local tool instead. If you decide to install, verify the exact npm package name and the GitHub repo to avoid typosquatting.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pdf2md
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a wrapper for the 'mineru-open-api' CLI tool, designed to convert PDF files to Markdown using the MinerU API (mineru.net). It transparently discloses that documents are sent to an external endpoint for processing and provides legitimate installation paths via npm, uv, and Go. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration beyond the stated purpose, or harmful prompt injections was found in SKILL.md or the metadata.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the requested binary and install instructions: mineru-open-api is the expected CLI for PDF->Markdown conversion. Required binaries and install packages are proportional to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs the agent to run the mineru-open-api CLI on local files or URLs and explains that the CLI sends documents to mineru.net for processing. It does not ask the agent to read unrelated files or credentials. Important privacy note: documents are transmitted to an external API (no auth claimed), which may expose sensitive content.
Install Mechanism
Install options are npm/uv/go (npm package 'mineru-open-api' and a GitHub go package). This is a typical third-party CLI install pattern but carries the usual risks of installing unreviewed packages from registries or GitHub; no arbitrary download-from-random-URL installers are present in the spec.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. It does not request unrelated secrets or elevated access.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable; it does not request permanent presence or modify other skills' configuration. Installing the CLI will place a binary on the system as expected.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
