nutrient-openclaw

What This Skill Does

The nutrient-openclaw skill is a specialized, native integration designed to bring powerful document processing capabilities directly into your OpenClaw workflow. It serves as a bridge between the OpenClaw agent and the Nutrient Document Web SDK (DWS), enabling users to perform sophisticated document operations without leaving their chat interface. Whether you are dealing with document conversion, data extraction, or security-critical tasks like redaction and digital signatures, this skill leverages built-in nutrient_* tools to handle complex tasks reliably.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw package manager. Execute the following command in your terminal:

openclaw plugins install @nutrient-sdk/nutrient-openclaw

After installation, you must provide your authentication credentials in the OpenClaw configuration file. Add your API key under the plugin settings as shown below:

plugins:
  entries:
    nutrient-openclaw:
      config:
        apiKey: "your-api-key-here"

You can acquire a valid API key at nutrient.io/api. Always ensure your environment variables or configuration files are secured.

Use Cases

This skill is highly versatile and supports a variety of document-centric workflows. Primary use cases include:

• Document Conversion: Quickly transforming Office files (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) into standardized, cross-platform PDF files, or converting PDF pages into high-resolution images for previews.
• Data Extraction: Automating the retrieval of text and tabular data from scanned documents or digital receipts, including support for multi-language OCR.
• Security and Compliance: Enforcing data privacy by automating PII redaction (using both pattern-based and AI-powered detection) and ensuring document authenticity through digital signatures.
• Branding: Applying consistent watermarks to documents to mark them as draft, confidential, or proprietary.
• Administrative Oversight: Monitoring your current usage and credit balance directly through the CLI.

Example Prompts

1. "Please convert the attached proposal.docx into a PDF file so I can review it."
2. "Extract all the table data from this invoice PDF and give me a summary in Markdown."
3. "Redact all PII including social security numbers and email addresses from the document I just uploaded."

Tips & Limitations

When using nutrient_extract_text, ensure you define the language parameter accurately to maximize accuracy. For multi-language documents, use a comma-separated string (e.g., 'english,french'). Note that the effectiveness of AI redaction depends on the complexity of the document layout. Always verify redacted files before sharing them publicly. Remember that for non-OpenClaw environments, you should use the standard Universal Nutrient Document Processing skill instead of this specific version.
