Description
Inspect an Appian package ZIP against the target environment to identify errors or warnings before deploying. Use before appian-deploy to validate a package.
README (SKILL.md)

Appian Inspect

Runs a pre-deployment inspection of a package ZIP against the Appian environment using the v2 Deployment Management API. Returns expected object counts and any errors or warnings.

A FAILED inspection status indicates a system error, not an invalid package. Errors and warnings are predictions about what deploying will do, not hard blockers.

Usage

node {baseDir}/scripts/index.js \x3CzipPath> [customizationFilePath]

Example

node {baseDir}/scripts/index.js "./appian-exports/MyPackage.zip"

Exported packages are saved to ./appian-exports/ by appian-export.

External endpoints

  • POST ${APPIAN_BASE_URL}/inspections — submits the package for inspection
  • GET ${APPIAN_BASE_URL}/inspections/{uuid} — polls for results

Security

  • Credentials (APPIAN_BASE_URL, APPIAN_API_KEY) are read from environment variables (injected by OpenClaw at runtime). If not injected, the script falls back to a appian.json file in the current working directory.
  • The package ZIP is uploaded only to your configured Appian environment.
  • No data is sent to any third-party service.
  • No shell commands are executed; all operations use Node.js built-in APIs.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: upload a package ZIP to your Appian environment's /inspections endpoint and show results. Before installing or running it: 1) verify APPIAN_BASE_URL points to the intended Appian environment (avoid running against production unless you intend to); 2) use an API key scoped with the minimum permissions required for inspections; 3) check for any appian.json files in the current or parent directories (the script searches up to 5 levels) to ensure it won't pick up unexpected credentials; 4) review scripts/index.js yourself if you want to confirm there are no additional network calls in your copy; and 5) run the script in a Node environment with the expected globals (fetch/FormData/Blob) or adapt it accordingly.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: appian-inspectpkg Version: 1.1.0 The appian-inspectpkg skill is designed to validate Appian package ZIP files against a target environment using the official Appian Deployment Management API. The implementation in scripts/index.js correctly handles credentials via environment variables or a local appian.json file and performs network requests only to the user-specified APPIAN_BASE_URL. No evidence of data exfiltration, shell execution, or malicious intent was found; the code logic is strictly aligned with the functionality described in SKILL.md.

Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
Name/description, required env vars (APPIAN_BASE_URL, APPIAN_API_KEY), SKILL.md, and the included Node script all align: the script uploads a user-supplied ZIP to the Appian inspections endpoint and polls for results. No unrelated credentials or binaries are requested.
ℹ Instruction Scope
Instructions and code stay within the stated scope (read package ZIP, optionally read customization file, read Appian creds, POST to /inspections and poll). Minor mismatch: SKILL.md says the script falls back to an appian.json in the current working directory, but the code searches up to 5 parent directories for appian.json — this could cause it to load credentials from higher-level project dirs unintentionally.
✓ Install Mechanism
No install spec; the skill is instruction-only with an included script. Nothing is downloaded or extracted at install time, which minimizes installation risk.
ℹ Credentials
Only APPIAN_BASE_URL and APPIAN_API_KEY are required (appropriate for the API used). Caveat: the script will populate environment variables from an appian.json it finds (current dir or up to 5 parent dirs), so it may read local config files containing other values if such a file exists.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-enabled, requests no persistent platform-level privileges, and does not modify other skills or system-wide configuration.
How to Use
