Pdf Extract Hardened

PassAudited by ClawScan on Apr 29, 2026.

Overview

The skill is internally coherent: it only requires pdftotext, its instructions match the stated purpose, and its included safety guardrails limit risky behaviors.

This skill appears low-risk and does what it says: it converts PDFs to text using pdftotext and includes sensible guardrails (no automatic disk writes, no piping to network). Before installing: ensure pdftotext is from a trusted package source on your system, verify the agent implementation will enforce the guardrails (instructions are only effective if the agent follows them), and avoid running the skill in contexts where the agent has access to sensitive PDFs you don't want extracted. If you need automatic saving or network transmission, require an explicit user confirmation step before doing so.
