Description
Design succession plans with role mapping and transition roadmaps. Use when adding positions, listing candidates, prioritizing paths, planning transfers.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: a lightweight local CLI planner that logs items and a history of commands to ~/.local/share/succession-plan by default. Before installing or using it: 1) Be aware that history.log will record every command and its arguments (candidate names, assessments, etc.) — avoid logging highly sensitive PII unless you accept local storage. 2) The code calls python3 but the top-level text is slightly inconsistent about dependencies; ensure you have Bash 4+ and python3 available. 3) If you prefer data elsewhere, set SUCCESSION_PLAN_DIR to a secure location and consider filesystem permissions or encryption for confidential records. 4) As with any script, you can review the two provided scripts (scripts/script.sh and scripts/succession.sh) before running them to confirm there are no changes you don’t expect.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: succession-plan
Version: 2.0.1
The skill bundle is a legitimate, local-only productivity tool for succession planning. The Bash and Python scripts (script.sh, succession.sh) manage task logs and print planning templates without any network activity, data exfiltration, or obfuscated code. While some functions in script.sh are currently stubs that only log actions to a local history file, there are no security risks or malicious intents identified.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the provided scripts and SKILL.md: a simple CLI task/logging tool for succession planning. The scripts only read/write local files under a per-user data directory and provide planning templates. No unrelated services, credentials, or remote endpoints are requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions and scripts operate within the stated purpose and only touch the declared data directory. However, every command is appended to history.log (timestamped), so sensitive candidate names or confidential notes will be recorded. Also, SKILL.md claims "zero dependencies" in one place but the code requires Bash 4+ and invokes python3 (the Requirements section mentions Bash but not python3), which is a small documentation mismatch to be aware of.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only), and included shell/Python scripts are plain text. There is no download-from-URL or package installation step in the manifest. The risk surface is limited to the provided script contents being executed on the user's system.
Credentials
The skill requests no credentials or special environment variables. It supports optional SUCCESSION_PLAN_DIR and honors XDG_DATA_HOME and HOME for data location — these are appropriate for its function.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not modify other skills or system-wide settings, and only creates a per-user data directory (default ~/.local/share/succession-plan). That directory stores data.log and history.log locally.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install succession-plan - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/succession-plan - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
