Description
Import reading notes from Instapaper exports into the slipbox. Use when user pastes an Instapaper highlight export with article title and notes. Parses title/URL from header, extracts user's own notes (plain text lines), skips original highlights (> lines), then runs slipbot for each.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly what it says: parse a pasted Instapaper export and call slipbot to create notes. Before installing, confirm that (1) you have or trust the slipbot integration the skill will call (it will hand slips to that tool to create files/entries), (2) you are comfortable with the agent's autonomy settings (an autonomous agent could run the import, though the SKILL.md includes a confirmation step), and (3) you understand that the parser will include any URLs (including instapaper-private:// links) from the paste as metadata. If you want extra safety, keep autonomous invocation off or verify slipbot's behavior/permissions first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: slipbot-instapaper-importer Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle `slipbot-instapaper-importer` is designed to parse Instapaper highlight exports and import user notes into a 'slipbox' by invoking another skill named `slipbot`. The `SKILL.md` instructions are clear, well-defined, and directly align with the stated purpose. There are no instructions for data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, persistence, or prompt injection attempts against the agent for malicious purposes. The skill includes a 'Precheck' step requiring user confirmation, which is a positive security practice. While the instruction to 'Preserve as-is' for titles with special characters could potentially lead to a vulnerability if the downstream `slipbot` skill or the agent's execution environment does not properly sanitize or escape this data when used in a command context, this skill itself does not instruct any malicious action; it merely passes data as intended for metadata. Thus, there is no evidence of intentional harmful behavior.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the instructions: the SKILL.md describes parsing Instapaper export text and creating slipbox entries by calling slipbot. The skill does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths. The only implicit requirement is that a slipbot integration/skill is available to handle the note creation.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped to parsing the pasted export, counting notes, asking for confirmation, and invoking slipbot for each note. No instructions read arbitrary files, access environment variables, or send data to unknown external endpoints. It does extract titles and URLs from the paste (including instapaper-private:// links) and passes those as source metadata to slipbot.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files. Nothing is written to disk or downloaded during install.
Credentials
Requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The data it handles comes from the user's pasted content; no secret access is requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated privileges. It delegates creation of persistent notes to slipbot; installations that allow autonomous model invocation could cause agents to run this skill without an interactive user, but the SKILL.md includes an explicit confirmation step. Consider whether your agent's autonomy settings and slipbot's permissions match your risk tolerance.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install slipbot-instapaper-importer
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /slipbot-instapaper-importer
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
