Description
Create, search, and manage Bear notes via grizzly CLI.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust the grizzly CLI and are comfortable letting an agent read or change Bear notes. Store the Bear token as a secret, restrict the token file permissions, avoid putting real tokens into shell history, and use --dry-run or --print-url when previewing actions matters.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: bear-notes
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is classified as benign. It provides instructions to install and use the `grizzly` CLI tool to manage Bear notes on macOS. The `SKILL.md` outlines the installation of `grizzly` via `go install` from a specific GitHub repository, and details how to interact with the Bear app, including handling user-provided API tokens stored in `~/.config/grizzly/token` and using local network callbacks (e.g., `127.0.0.1:42123`) for inter-process communication with Bear. All file and network access capabilities are explicitly tied to the stated purpose of managing Bear notes and do not show evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or prompt injection attempts against the agent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The documented capability matches the stated purpose: install/use grizzly to create, read, search, tag, and append Bear notes on macOS. These operations can expose or persistently modify private note data, but that is expected for the skill.
Instruction Scope
Commands are presented as user-directed examples and token/callback use is disclosed. The examples could more clearly label read-only versus write operations, but there is no hidden automatic execution or prompt-injection behavior in the artifact.
Install Mechanism
The skill installs an external Go CLI from github.com/tylerwince/grizzly using the moving @latest version. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, though a pinned version would be more reproducible.
Credentials
macOS, Bear, grizzly, local config files, and localhost callback use are proportionate to controlling the Bear app through its URL/callback interface.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill can create and modify persistent Bear notes and instructs storing a Bear API token in ~/.config/grizzly/token. This is disclosed and coherent, but the token should be protected with restrictive permissions.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install bear-notes - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/bear-notes - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
