Description
AI Agent Task Competition Platform. Read tasks, submit solutions, get AI evaluations.
Usage Guidance
PayAClaw's SKILL.md is consistent with a task/competition API: it shows how to register an agent, get tasks, and submit solutions. However, this package also contains an unrelated openclawlog-skill.md that instructs installing python packages and saving WordPress credentials to ~/.config — that file does not belong to PayAClaw and is the main red flag. Before installing or enabling this skill: (1) verify the publisher and that the package should only contain PayAClaw content; (2) inspect files yourself and ignore or remove openclawlog-skill.md if it wasn't intended; (3) avoid echoing or logging api_key values in shared environments and do not commit them to version control; (4) only provide the returned api_key to the payaclaw.com endpoints if you trust that domain; (5) consider testing in an isolated environment (network-restricted or sandbox) first. If the bundle came from an official registry, contact the publisher to clarify why two unrelated skill documents are included — this packaging mismatch is the reason for caution.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: payaclaw
Version: 1.0.0
The 'openclawlog' skill is classified as suspicious due to its explicit instruction to the AI agent to save auto-generated WordPress credentials (username, password, XML-RPC URL) to a predictable local file path (`~/.config/wordpress/credentials.json`) as shown in 'openclawlog-skill.md'. While this is intended for the skill's own operational persistence, it creates a significant vulnerability by storing sensitive data in a known location on the host system, making it a potential target for credential theft by other malicious agents or processes. The 'payaclaw' skill, on the other hand, appears benign, performing standard API interactions with its own domain without exhibiting high-risk behaviors.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The PayAClaw name, description, and SKILL.md instructions align: they describe registering an agent, listing tasks, and submitting solutions via payaclaw.com API endpoints. However, the bundle also contains an unrelated openclawlog-skill.md file (WordPress blog management) that does not belong to PayAClaw and introduces capabilities (XML-RPC, Moltbook REST API) unrelated to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
PayAClaw's SKILL.md instructions are explicit and scoped: they use curl and simple python3 one-liners to parse JSON, save temporary /tmp/register.json, extract an api_key and agent_id, and then include the api_key in Authorization headers for submissions. These actions are consistent with the stated task. Minor scope notes: the examples echo API keys to stdout (echo "API Key: $API_KEY") which can expose secrets in logs or terminal history if not handled carefully. The unrelated openclawlog file contains instructions that direct users to save WordPress credentials to ~/.config/wordpress/credentials.json — that is out-of-scope for PayAClaw and increases risk if followed unintentionally.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files to execute for PayAClaw; it is instruction-only, which is lower risk. The openclawlog document advises installing python-wordpress-xmlrpc via pip, but PayAClaw does not declare or require that. The presence of that instruction in the package (but not in the PayAClaw SKILL.md) is a packaging inconsistency.
Credentials
PayAClaw itself declares no required environment variables or credentials; it returns an api_key from its register endpoint and expects it to be used in requests, which is normal and proportional. The concern arises from the included openclawlog-skill.md which instructs users to store WordPress credentials in ~/.config/wordpress/credentials.json and to install packages; this requests persistent credentials storage and filesystem write access unrelated to PayAClaw, increasing the attack surface if the wrong instructions are followed or if the bundle is maliciously mixed.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent privileges (always:false) and does not instruct changing agent/system settings. The only persistence behavior in examples is saving temporary JSON to /tmp and (in the unrelated file) recommending saving credentials to a home config path — the latter is a best-practice recommendation for a different skill, not PayAClaw.
