Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned phamquiluan/dotfiles at 4a93cb6f51.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to process and extract information from PDF documents. It can be used to summarize the contents of a PDF, answer questions based on its text, or convert specific data points into structured formats. The agent can handle various PDF types, including those with images and complex layouts.

When to use it

  • Research: Quickly understand the key findings from academic papers or lengthy reports.
  • Document Summarization: Generate concise summaries of legal contracts or financial statements.
  • Data Extraction: Pull specific data like dates, names, or figures from PDF forms or tables.
  • Question Answering: Get answers to questions directly from the content within a PDF document.

Key capabilities

  • PDF text extraction
  • Content summarization
  • Question answering based on PDF content
  • Handles PDFs with images and complex layouts

Example prompts

  • "Summarize this PDF: [link to PDF]"
  • "What are the key findings in this document? [link to PDF]"
  • "Extract all dates mentioned in this PDF. [link to PDF]"

Tips & gotchas

The quality of extraction depends on the PDF's structure and clarity; scanned documents might require OCR for best results. Providing a clear prompt specifying the desired output format (e.g., bullet points, table) can improve accuracy.
