Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and uses reasonable safeguards (TLS, zip-slip checks, isolated storage). Before installing: 1) Inspect the full script files in the package (the provided excerpts are truncated in places) to confirm there are no hidden endpoints or unexpected behavior. 2) Run in a Python virtual environment and install dependencies with pip. 3) If you enable automatic updates (cron), choose a conservative interval and monitor downloaded files. 4) Verify the MOE URLs are the official domain (language.moe.gov.tw) and, if you want extra assurance, compare the bundled code to the upstream GitHub repo referenced in the README. 5) Because the package source in the registry is 'unknown' (no homepage), if you require higher assurance, ask the publisher for provenance or use the code only after manual review.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tc-dict
Version: 1.0.1
This skill is classified as benign. It transparently downloads dictionary data from a specified external source (MOE Taiwan) and stores it locally. The code demonstrates good security practices, including explicit Zip-Slip protection in `scripts/download_dictionary.py` to prevent directory traversal attacks during extraction, and uses TLS verification for all HTTPS connections. File operations are confined to a user-isolated directory (`~/.openclaw/dictionaries/`). There is no evidence of intentional malicious behavior, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attempts against the agent in the code or documentation. The primary remaining risk is a supply chain compromise of the MOE download server, which is an external factor, and the skill's internal security measures mitigate common attack vectors associated with file downloads.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match what the package does: downloading, extracting, versioning, and querying MOE dictionary .xlsx files. Required packages (pandas, openpyxl) and the three scripts align with this purpose. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and scripts confine activity to downloading from MOE, validating and extracting zip files into a user-controlled directory (~/.openclaw/dictionaries), indexing xlsx content and responding to lookups. Instructions mention optional cron updates (expected for update checks). There are no instructions to read unrelated system files, access other credentials, or transmit data to endpoints outside the MOE domain.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only skill with bundled Python scripts). Dependency installation uses pip (optionally 'uv pip'), installing only pandas and openpyxl from PyPI — proportionate for parsing Excel files. Nothing is downloaded from unknown/personal servers during install.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, no credentials, and stores data in a user-writable path by default. It does not request unrelated secrets or system-wide config. The only external network access is to MOE (language.moe.gov.tw), which matches the stated function.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request 'always: true' and does not modify other skills or system-wide agent settings. It may create files under ~/.openclaw/dictionaries and supports cron-based periodic checks (explicit and user-enabled), which is appropriate for update automation. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (platform normal).
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tc-dict - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tc-dict - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.1
Security hardening: Fix TLS verification and add zip-slip protection. All HTTPS connections now use proper certificate validation. Dictionary zip files validated against path traversal attacks before extraction.
v1.0.0
Initial release: Query MOE Traditional Chinese dictionaries with auto-download, fuzzy matching, and update management
