Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it claims: a large offline OpenClaw documentation pack with no installers or credential requirements. Before installing or enabling it for autonomous use: 1) Verify the source/author (the registry lists an owner ID but no homepage); prefer skills from known publishers or a GitHub repo you can inspect. 2) Manually scan SKILL.md and the reference files for any lines that tell the agent to run shell commands, read files outside the workspace, fetch remote URLs, or print/transfer secrets — documentation often contains such examples and an agent might repeat them. 3) If you plan to allow autonomous agent invocation, test the skill in an isolated/dev profile (use a non-production gateway/profile) so you can observe what suggestions the agent produces before granting it broader privileges. 4) If you are uneasy about prompt-injection, restrict the skill to user-invoked only (don’t enable autonomous invocation for high-privilege agents) and avoid providing any host secrets to the environment while evaluating the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-expert-guide
Version: 1.0.0
The 'openclaw-expert-guide' is a comprehensive documentation-only skill bundle designed to provide an AI agent with a deep knowledge base of the OpenClaw platform. It consists of 12 structured reference files (references/01-12.md) and a routing guide in SKILL.md. The content is purely descriptive, covering architecture, CLI commands, and configuration schemas. There is no evidence of malicious code, intentional prompt injection, or data exfiltration attempts. The risky capabilities mentioned (such as shell execution and browser control) are documented features of the OpenClaw platform itself, and the guide provides standard operational instructions for their use.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is a large, offline reference for OpenClaw (architecture, gateway, CLI, channels, providers, tools, etc.). The files, SKILL.md, and README align with that purpose. There are no unexpected binaries, install scripts, or environment variables declared that would be disproportionate to a docs/reference skill.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md tells the agent to load only the relevant reference file and to consult those docs to answer OpenClaw questions. That is appropriate for a docs skill, but the static scanner flagged a 'system-prompt-override' pattern inside SKILL.md — the skill includes an explicit top-level instruction block (YAML header/description) that could be abused as a prompt-injection vector if your agent blindly trusts file contents as system-level directives. Also, the reference files include operational commands and runbooks (CLI examples, SSH tunnels, env var usage) which are normal documentation but could lead an agent to recommend running commands on the host; review any suggested commands before executing them.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or external downloads are present; this is instruction-only with documentation files. No code is written to disk by an installer here, which is the lowest-risk install profile.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars, credentials, or config paths. The documentation references many env var names and secrets as part of the OpenClaw docs (expected for a reference), but the skill does not require you to provide any secrets to install or use it.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. It does not request permanent elevated presence or claim to modify other skills or system-wide config. Autonomous invocation is enabled by platform default but is not combined with other privilege red flags here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-expert-guide - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-expert-guide - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
