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 trailofbits/skills-curated at 6d05be4889.

    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 using OpenAI's language models. It handles various PDF formats, including those with images and complex layouts. The agent can summarize content, answer questions based on the document’s text, or perform other tasks requiring understanding of PDF data.

When to use it

  • Research & Analysis: Quickly extract key findings from lengthy research papers or reports.
  • Legal Document Review: Summarize contracts or legal briefs and identify specific clauses.
  • Financial Reporting: Analyze financial statements and extract relevant metrics from PDF documents.
  • Information Extraction: Populate databases with data extracted from scanned forms or invoices in PDF format.

Key capabilities

  • PDF parsing and text extraction
  • Integration with OpenAI language models
  • Support for various PDF formats (including image-based PDFs)
  • Content summarization
  • Question answering based on document content

Example prompts

  • "Summarize this PDF: [upload PDF]"
  • "What are the key findings in this report? [upload PDF]"
  • "Extract all dates and amounts from this invoice. [upload PDF]"

Tips & gotchas

  • Complex PDFs with extensive images or unusual formatting may require more processing time.
  • Ensure you have sufficient OpenAI API credits to cover the cost of processing larger documents.
