Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent and low-risk: it only transforms an input summary into a podcast-style script and includes no network, file I/O, or secret access. Before installing, consider: (1) you should only feed text you are allowed to process (copyright concerns when supplying full book text); (2) if you obtained this skill from an untrusted registry source, you may want to review the small index.js yourself (it’s short and readable); (3) normal platform autonomy means the agent can call the skill when invoked — that’s expected here and not a red flag given the skill’s limited scope.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: book-summary
Version: 1.0.2
The book-summary skill is a straightforward text-processing utility designed to format book metadata into podcast scripts and summaries. Analysis of index.js and SKILL.md reveals no network activity, file system access, or attempts at prompt injection; the code purely performs string manipulation and basic calculations for duration estimation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (podcast-style book summaries) matches the code and SKILL.md. The included index.js implements summary-to-script generation, duration estimation, and text summary functions — all expected for this purpose. No unrelated capabilities are present.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and README describe only local generation of summaries and example usage via the exported class. The runtime instructions do not ask the agent to read arbitrary files, environment variables, or send data to external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec that downloads or extracts remote artifacts. The package is instruction-only from the registry with a small included index.js; no external installers, URLs, or archives are used.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The code does not access process.env or other secrets. Requested permissions are minimal and proportional to the stated functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not modify other skills or system settings. It contains no code that persists data or elevates privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install book-summary - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/book-summary - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
