Description
Buy, maintain, and handle car emergencies with cost estimates, maintenance schedules, and roadside problem-solving.
README (SKILL.md)
Decision Tree
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| Buying a car | Check buying.md for price negotiation, inspection checklist, financing |
| Maintenance due or warning light | Check maintenance.md for schedules, DIY vs mechanic, symptom diagnosis |
| Breakdown or accident | Check emergencies.md for immediate steps, who to call, documentation |
| Road trip planning | Pre-trip checklist below, then emergencies.md for kit and what-ifs |
Pre-Trip Checklist
Before any long drive:
- Tire pressure (including spare) at recommended PSI
- Oil level between min/max marks
- Coolant reservoir at proper level
- All lights working (headlights, brake, turn signals)
- Windshield washer fluid filled
- Wiper blades not streaking
- Phone charger and emergency contact numbers accessible
Warning Lights — Quick Reference
| Light | Severity | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Check engine (steady) | Medium | Safe to drive, diagnose within days |
| Check engine (flashing) | Critical | Stop driving, call tow |
| Oil pressure | Critical | Stop immediately, check oil level |
| Temperature/coolant | Critical | Pull over, let engine cool, check coolant |
| Battery | Medium | Drive to shop, may have 30-60 min before stall |
| ABS | Low | Brakes work, but ABS disabled — drive carefully |
| Tire pressure | Low | Check and inflate soon |
Cost Sanity Check
Before approving any repair, verify the quote:
- Get the exact repair name (not "fix the engine")
- Search "[repair name] + [car model] + cost" for typical range
- Labor: $80-150/hr is normal; over $200/hr is premium/dealer
- If quote is 50%+ above average, get a second opinion
Common repairs (USD):
- Oil change: $30-75
- Brake pads (pair): $150-300 installed
- Battery replacement: $150-250
- Alternator: $400-600
- Timing belt: $500-1000
Fuel Efficiency Tips
- Optimal highway speed: 55-65 mph (above 65, efficiency drops ~15%)
- Tire pressure: check monthly, underinflation costs 0.2% per PSI
- AC vs windows: AC more efficient above 45 mph
- Remove roof racks when not in use (5% drag penalty)
- Avoid idling more than 30 seconds
When to Load More
| Situation | Reference |
|---|---|
| Buying new or used, financing, negotiation | buying.md |
| Maintenance schedules, DIY repairs, diagnostics | maintenance.md |
| Accidents, breakdowns, insurance claims | emergencies.md |
Usage Guidance
This skill is essentially a set of offline reference guides (buying, maintenance, emergencies) and appears coherent with its stated purpose. Before installing: (1) note the source/homepage are missing — if provenance matters to you, prefer content from a known author or publisher; (2) treat the material as general guidance only — for safety-critical issues (serious accidents, injuries, complex diagnostics) contact emergency services or a certified mechanic; (3) the skill does not request credentials or perform network calls, but if you allow the agent to invoke skills autonomously be aware it could provide advice without asking each time; and (4) verify cost/repair estimates independently (quotes from shops) before authorizing paid work.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: car
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle 'car' is benign. All files (`_meta.json`, `SKILL.md`, `buying.md`, `emergencies.md`, `maintenance.md`) contain only informational text and standard metadata. There is no executable code, no prompt injection attempts against the AI agent, no external network calls, no data exfiltration, and no instructions that would lead to malicious behavior. The content is entirely aligned with the stated purpose of providing car-related information and advice.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (buying, maintenance, emergencies) align with the included documents (buying.md, maintenance.md, emergencies.md). The skill requests no binaries, env vars, credentials, or config paths — all of which would be unnecessary for purely informational guidance.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the three content files provide checklists, how-to steps, and diagnostic guidance. There are no runtime commands, no references to reading local files or secrets, and no instructions to send data to external endpoints. The content sometimes advises web searches for pricing or code lookups (normal for cost checks) but does not instruct contacting or posting to any hidden services.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, so nothing will be downloaded or written to disk during installation. This is the lowest-risk install model.
Credentials
The skill declares and requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no secrets referenced in instructions. The level of requested environment access is proportionate (none) to an informational car guide.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request modifications to other skills or system-wide settings. It does not request persistent presence or elevated privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install car - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/car - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
