AD openclaw-pdf-reader
Read, extract, and analyze PDF files. Use when the user needs to: (1) Extract text from PDF documents, (2) Analyze PDF content, (3) Summarize PDF documents, (4) Search for specific information in PDFs, (5) Extract tables from PDFs
As a process D 47/100 · Unfinished process — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, failures and branches

How to improve
For the model run — optional
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
frontmatter-yamlSKILL.md: the frontmatter is not valid YAML (YAML parse error: Nested mappings are not allowed in compact mappings at line 3, column 14: description: Read, extract, and analyze PDF files. Use when the user needs to: … ^ ); fields were read line by line. The usual cause is a colon inside an unquoted value
Process rating: all ten parameters 47/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (openclaw-pdf-reader) differs from the folder (pdf-reader-cn)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 6 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 258 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 230: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 6 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 6 items
- +4Has examples (4 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (1 of 1)
- +3All 2 scripts are documented
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 81.
