Security Scan

The skill appears to be what it says — a local PDF generation tool for pet‑sitting intake forms — with no unrelated credentials, network calls, or suspicious installs, but it collects sensitive owner/home access data (alarm codes, Wi‑Fi passwords) which you should consciously accept before using.

Purpose & Capability

Name, description, CLI, SKILL.md, README, and the included Python script all align: generating fillable/printable PDF intake forms (themes, multi-pet, service templates). Requested permissions (filesystem, shell) match the stated need to write PDFs and run the script. There are no unrelated environment variables or cloud credentials.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions (SKILL.md and skill.yaml entryPoint) direct the agent to collect business/contact info and optionally home access details (alarm codes, Wi‑Fi, key codes). Collecting these fields is coherent with in‑home pet‑sitting forms but involves sensitive personal data; the SKILL.md also instructs writing the PDF to /mnt/user-data/outputs and to present the file via present_files (UI upload/show), which is expected but worth knowing from a privacy standpoint.

Install Mechanism

No install spec; this is effectively an instruction+script skill that runs local Python code bundled in the skill. Dependencies (reportlab, pyyaml) are declared and typical for PDF/YAML handling. There are no downloads from arbitrary URLs or extract steps.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables or external credentials. It only needs local filesystem and the ability to execute its Python script. That is proportional to its purpose. Note: the form may store sensitive information (home access codes, Wi‑Fi passwords) in the generated PDF — sensitive but purpose-aligned.

Persistence & Privilege

always:false and default autonomous invocation settings are used. The skill does not request permanent/global privileges and does not appear to modify other skills or system-wide config.

Assessment

This skill is coherent with its stated purpose and runs a bundled Python script to create PDFs locally. Before installing or running it: (1) be aware the forms intentionally include sensitive fields (alarm codes, Wi‑Fi passwords, key codes) — only enter those if you trust where the PDF will be stored/shared; (2) the generated PDF is written to disk (default /mnt/user-data/outputs) and presented via the agent UI, so ensure the output path and UI sharing behavior meet your privacy needs; (3) dependencies (reportlab, pyyaml) must be installed locally — consider running in a sandbox or reviewing the full scripts/generate_form.py before use; (4) source/homepage is not authoritative in the manifest (some references point to a GitHub repo in metadata) — if provenance matters, verify the repository and author before trusting; (5) the included script appears to contain minor code issues in the truncated excerpt — test on sample inputs first rather than running with real sensitive data.

Pet Sitter Client Intake Form Generator

Generate polished, professional PDF intake forms for pet sitting businesses. Minimal input required — outputs a complete, branded, client-ready PDF.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user:

• Asks to create a client intake form for pet sitting
• Wants a new client questionnaire or onboarding form

Features

Feature	Description
Fillable PDF Fields	Interactive text fields and checkboxes for digital completion
7 Color Themes	lavender, ocean, forest, rose, sunset, neutral, midnight
Multi-Pet Support	Generate forms with 1-10 pet profile sections
Service Templates	Specialized sections for boarding, walking, drop-in visits
Home Access Section	Key codes, alarm info, WiFi, parking (for in-home sitting)

Step 1: Collect Inputs

Ask the user for:

1. Business name (required) — e.g., "Happy Paws Pet Sitting"
2. Sitter name (optional) — appears in authorization text
3. Services offered — Pet Sitting, Dog Walking, Boarding, Drop-in Visits, etc.
4. Location — city/state for the form header
5. Contact info — email, phone, or website for the footer
6. Color theme (optional) — show the 7 available themes
7. Service type (optional) — general, boarding, walking, or drop_in
8. Number of pets (optional) — if client has multiple pets

If inputs are missing, use reasonable defaults or leave fields blank.

Step 2: Generate the PDF

python scripts/generate_form.py \
  --business-name "Happy Paws Pet Sitting" \
  --sitter-name "Jane Smith" \
  --services "Dog Walking, Boarding, Drop-in Visits" \
  --location "Austin, TX" \
  --contact "[e-mail] | [phone]" \
  --theme ocean \
  --service-type boarding \
  --pets 2 \
  --output "/mnt/user-data/outputs/client_intake_form.pdf"

All CLI Options

Option	Description	Default
--business-name	Business name for header	"Your Business Name"
--sitter-name	Sitter name for authorization text	(blank)
--services	Comma-separated services	"Pet Sitting, Dog Walking, Boarding"
--location	City/state	(blank)
--contact	Contact info	(blank)
--theme	Color theme name	lavender
--service-type	general, boarding, walking, drop_in	general
--pets	Number of pet profiles (1-10)	1
--fillable	Enable fillable PDF fields	(enabled by default)
--no-fillable	Generate print-only form	—
--no-home-access	Omit home access section	—
--config	Path to YAML config file	—
--output	Output PDF filename	client_intake_form.pdf
--list-themes	Show available themes and exit	—

Using a Config File

For repeat use, create a config.yaml:

business_name: "Happy Paws Pet Sitting"
sitter_name: "Jane Smith"
services: "Dog Walking, Boarding, Drop-in Visits"
location: "Austin, TX"
contact: "[e-mail]"
theme: ocean
service_type: general
num_pets: 1
fillable: true

Then generate with:

python scripts/generate_form.py --config config.yaml --output client_form.pdf

Step 3: Present to User

After generation, share the PDF with the user via present_files.

Tell them:

• ✅ The form has fillable fields — clients can type directly into it
• ✅ It's also print-ready for handwritten responses
• ✅ They can customize the theme to match their branding (--list-themes)
• ✅ For multiple pets, use --pets 2 (or more)
• 💡 Suggest saving a config file for their business presets

Tips

• For digital-first workflows, keep fillable enabled (default) — clients can complete on phone/computer
• For print shops or clients who prefer paper, use --no-fillable
• Multi-pet households: Use --pets 3 to generate separate profile sections

• Dog walkers: Use --service-type walking for route/leash behavior fields
• Save a config file with your branding to generate consistent forms every time
