Description
Plaid integration. Manage data, records, and automate workflows. Use when the user wants to interact with Plaid data.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it claims: a wrapper/guide for using the Membrane CLI to access Plaid. Before installing or using it, verify the Membrane project and CLI package (e.g., npm package @membranehq/cli, getmembrane.com, and the GitHub repository) to ensure you trust the publisher. Consider installing the CLI in a contained environment (container, VM, or per-project node install) rather than globally if you want to minimize system changes. Review Membrane's privacy, data handling, and the Plaid scopes that will be granted to any connection; do not paste API keys into chats or share your Plaid credentials. Finally, monitor and limit the Membrane connection permissions and revoke connections when no longer needed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: plaid-integration
Version: 1.0.1
The skill provides a legitimate integration for Plaid financial services via the Membrane CLI. It follows security best practices by delegating authentication and secret management to the Membrane platform rather than handling raw API keys locally. The instructions in SKILL.md are functional, transparent, and align with the stated purpose of managing financial data through a centralized integration service.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description (Plaid integration) match the runtime instructions: the SKILL.md instructs using the Membrane CLI with connectorKey=plaid, creating connections, listing actions, and running actions. There are no unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to installing/using the Membrane CLI, authenticating via Membrane, creating a Plaid connection, discovering and running actions, and best practices. The document does not instruct reading arbitrary local files or exporting unrelated environment variables. Headless login uses an authorization URL/code flow (user-mediated).
Install Mechanism
The skill is instruction-only (no formal install spec), but SKILL.md recommends installing @membranehq/cli globally via npm (npm install -g). Installing a global npm package is common for CLI tools but modifies the host environment; this is moderate-risk compared with a reviewed package manager install, and users should verify the package source before installing.
Credentials
No environment variables, secrets, or config paths are declared or required by the skill. The SKILL.md explicitly says Membrane handles credentials server-side and advises not to ask users for API keys, which is proportionate to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request persistent system-wide privileges. It does not instruct modifying other skills or global agent configuration beyond advising installation of the Membrane CLI.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install plaid-integration - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/plaid-integration - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
