/install tcpdump
Description
Tcpdump reference tool. Use when working with tcpdump in devtools contexts.
Usage Guidance
This skill is essentially a packaged help/cheat-sheet implemented as a shell script that prints documentation—there is no network activity, no credential requests, and no installation of code. If you plan to install it, confirm you trust the source (BytesAgain) because the agent will execute the bundled script locally when invoked. Also be aware this is a reference only (it does not run tcpdump for you) and the content may become outdated; review the script if you need to verify accuracy or adapt wording for your environment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tcpdump
Version: 1.0.0
The 'tcpdump' skill is a documentation and reference tool providing static information about the tcpdump utility. The primary script (scripts/script.sh) uses heredocs to output text-based guides, checklists, and best practices without executing any network commands, accessing sensitive files, or performing system modifications.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill advertises itself as a tcpdump reference tool and contains an included scripts/script.sh that prints guides, cheatsheets, and best practices. It does not attempt to run or require the tcpdump binary or unrelated services, which is coherent with a documentation/reference purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the bundled scripts/script.sh with simple subcommands. The script only outputs static documentation (via cat/EOF blocks, echo) and has no commands that read arbitrary host files, access network endpoints, or fetch credentials. There is minor sloppy scripting (e.g., help here-doc uses single quotes so $VERSION won't expand, and an unnecessary shift), but these are functional bugs, not scope creep.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only with a bundled script). Nothing is downloaded or extracted at install time, so there is low install risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no primary credential, and no config paths. The bundled script likewise does not read environment secrets or require elevated credentials. The lack of requested secrets is proportionate to a reference/documentation skill.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is user-invocable, not always-enabled, and does not request modifying other skills or system-wide settings. It does execute an included shell script when invoked, which is normal for an instruction-only skill.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tcpdump - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tcpdump - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
