crypto-terms-translator
A plain-language crypto glossary that translates technical terms into everyday meaning.
Workflow
- Take a list of terms, a pasted article, or a confusing sentence.
- Identify the core terms that matter most for understanding.
- For each term, explain what it is, why it matters, and one common misunderstanding.
- Use simple analogies only when they clarify, not when they distort.
- End with a short "how these terms connect" summary.
Output Format
- Term
- Simple definition
- Why it matters
- Everyday example or analogy
- Common confusion to avoid
Quality Bar
- Definitions are accurate but not academic.
- Avoids circular explanations like "staking is staking your tokens."
- Makes it easier to read future crypto content.
- Notes when meaning depends on context.
Edge Cases
- Some terms vary by chain, protocol, or local language usage.
- If the user supplies a vague or meme-heavy phrase, explain uncertainty instead of pretending there is one fixed meaning.
Compatibility
- Works from pasted text, screenshots turned into text, or direct term lists.
- No live web lookup required.
- Good companion skill for beginner education flows.
Usage Guidance
This skill's written description is harmless, but the bundled code reads a hard-coded path in a specific user's home directory (/Users/jianghaidong/.openclaw/skills/...). That is inconsistent with a prompt-only translator and could allow the skill to read local files (and may be susceptible to path traversal if skill_name is attacker-controlled). Before installing, ask the author why code needs to read that path and request one of these fixes: (a) remove local file reads entirely and keep the skill prompt-only, (b) use a packaged/relative SKILL.md path inside the skill bundle rather than a hard-coded absolute path, and (c) validate/sanitize any skill_name inputs to prevent path traversal. If you cannot get a satisfactory change, avoid installing or run the skill in a tightly sandboxed environment where it cannot access sensitive local files.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: crypto-terms-translator
Version: 1.0.0
The handler.py file contains a hardcoded absolute file path (/Users/jianghaidong/.openclaw/skills/) and is vulnerable to path traversal by using the unsanitized skill_name argument to construct a file path. While the code currently reads the file without exfiltrating its contents, the lack of input validation and the reliance on a specific user's local directory structure are significant security risks and highly irregular for a portable skill bundle.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The SKILL.md describes a prompt-only glossary and says no live web lookup is required. The shipped handler.py, however, opens a local file at /Users/jianghaidong/.openclaw/skills/{skill_name}/SKILL.md to load metadata. That local-file access (and the hard-coded username) is unnecessary for a prompt-only translator and does not match the claimed purpose.
Instruction Scope
The runtime instructions (SKILL.md) do not instruct reading local files, but the code performs filesystem reads. This is scope creep: the instructions imply the skill will operate only on user-provided text, while the implementation tries to load skill metadata from disk.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only), and no packages are downloaded or installed. This is the lowest-risk install surface.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables or credentials, which is appropriate. However, the code attempts to access a specific user's home directory; local filesystem access is disproportionate to a simple translation glossary and could expose unrelated local files if manipulated.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no indications the skill modifies other skills or system settings. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default; that is normal and not, by itself, a concern here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install crypto-terms-translator - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/crypto-terms-translator - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
