Usage Guidance
Before installing or enabling this skill: 1) Verify the origin and trustworthiness of the repository (the skill references scripts under ~/.openclaw/skills/outclaw/ and will attempt to execute them). Inspect any scripts at those paths and confirm they do only what you expect. 2) Confirm which external accounts/tools (Leadbay/LinkedIn/Gmail/OCR services) you will allow the agent to use; the skill does not declare required credentials but will behave differently depending on which tools are connected. 3) Be aware the skill will read your local KB (kb/me/*.md), other local caches, and write persistent profiles containing PII — audit the intended storage location (~/.openclaw/outclaw/kb/) and access controls before use. 4) If you cannot or do not want to grant filesystem/script execution rights, run the skill in a sandboxed environment or deny access to the referenced scripts/tools. 5) Ask the skill author (or repository) to: a) declare required config paths and credentials, b) include or document the helper scripts it invokes, and c) explicitly state retention/consent policies for stored PII. If you want, provide those files or credentials only after manual review.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (deep research + persistent KB writes) align with the instructions (query outreach tools, web, local KB and write profiles). However the skill declares no required config paths or credentials even though the runtime steps explicitly read/write ~/.openclaw/outclaw/kb/, call scripts under ~/.openclaw/skills/outclaw/shared/scripts/, and rely on third‑party tools (Leadbay/LinkedIn/etc.). That divergence (no declared paths/creds vs. explicit file/script usage) is a transparency/ownership mismatch.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to execute shell/python scripts in the user's home, read and write persistent KB and memory files, call OCR/vision tools, query many external research channels, and check local apps/notes. These actions are within the stated research purpose, but they also entail broad access to local files and potentially sensitive PII. The agent is told to run specific paths (e.g. ~/.openclaw/skills/outclaw/shared/scripts/outclaw_daily_batch.sh, shared/scripts/domain_classifier.py) which may not be part of the package — executing arbitrary local scripts is high-impact if those scripts are replaced or malicious.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only), which is lower risk on its face. But the runtime docs expect local helper scripts and utilities to exist in ~/.openclaw/… even though nothing in the skill bundle installs them. That dependency-on-local-scripts without bundling or declaring them is fragile and a risk vector (the skill will try to execute whatever lives at those paths).
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or config paths, yet its behavior depends on access to external services (Leadbay/LeadClaw, LinkedIn, Gmail, OCR tools) and local KB files. In practice those tools will require credentials/token access; the skill does not declare these or explain where/which credentials will be used. It will also persist sensitive contact data into the user's KB. The lack of declared credentials/config paths is a transparency gap and makes it harder to reason about what secrets the skill will use or require.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is designed to create and modify persistent KB pages and tenant memory (explicitly), which is coherent for a research/outreach assistant. It does not set always:true and doesn't request cross-skill config changes. Nonetheless, persistence implies long-term storage of PII (emails, phone numbers, prior conversations), so users should expect permanent writes and review what is stored.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install outclaw-research - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/outclaw-research - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output

v1.0.0
- Initial release of outclaw-research skill for deep B2B research on people or organizations.
- Integrates multiple outreach-relevant tools (Leadbay/LeadClaw, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, web search, company pages, podcasts, news) to build persistent profiles.
- Supports both bulk lead discovery and targeted research, with clear batch flows and opt-in deep dives.
- Strict "zero-hallucination" policy: every fact must be traceable to a real source; no unverifiable content allowed.
- Results focus: ≥3 recent, specific signals required per profile; research gaps must be reported transparently.
- Comprehensive guidelines for tool usage, data storage, and result presentation to ensure reliability and reproducibility.
