Description
AI-powered personal finance management system - track expenses, manage budgets, analyze spending patterns, and get smart financial recommendations
Usage Guidance
This skill appears internally consistent for a local CLI-based finance tool, but it is instruction-only and points you to an external npm package and GitHub repository (no code shipped in the registry). Before installing or running the CLI: 1) verify the npm package name and maintainer and review the GitHub repo source and recent activity; 2) avoid blind global installs — prefer inspecting code first or installing in an isolated environment/container; 3) consider setting CFO_DATA_DIR to a controlled directory and back up/export your financial data; 4) check the package for any network calls or telemetry and whether it stores or transmits data off your machine; 5) ensure Node.js >=18 is acceptable for your environment. If you cannot review the external code, treat the install as higher risk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: personal-cfo
Version: 1.0.0
The personal-cfo skill is a legitimate personal finance management tool designed to track expenses and budgets using local JSON storage (~/openclaw-personal-cfo/data/). The SKILL.md file provides standard CLI commands and agent instructions that align with its stated purpose, emphasizing privacy and local data handling without any evidence of exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the documented commands and features (transaction tracking, budgets, reports). The skill declares local JSON storage and Node.js/TypeScript runtime, and does not request unrelated credentials or system access.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run a CLI (cfo) that reads/writes files under ~/openclaw-personal-cfo/data (or CFO_DATA_DIR). This file I/O is consistent with a finance tracker, but the instructions also recommend installing a third‑party npm package or cloning a GitHub repo — the registry entry itself contains no install artifact or code, so the runtime behavior depends on that external package.
Install Mechanism
The skill is instruction-only with no install spec in the registry. The README recommends 'npm install -g openclaw-personal-cfo' or cloning a GitHub repo (https://github.com/ZhenRobotics/openclaw-personal-cfo.git). Both are common distribution methods (npm/GitHub) but the registry provides no integrity or provenance metadata; users should verify the package/repo before installing.
Credentials
No required environment variables or credentials are declared. An optional CFO_DATA_DIR env var is documented to change the data directory — this is reasonable and proportional for a local storage tool.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not forced-always, is user-invocable, and does not request system-wide privileges or modify other skills. Data is stored under its own directory; that is expected for this purpose.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install personal-cfo - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/personal-cfo - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
