Install in OpenClaw
/install new-agent-setup
Description
Set up a new OpenClaw agent end-to-end, including info gathering, Discord bot & channel setup, config edits, OneDrive access, cron jobs, and final verification.
Usage Guidance
This skill is a step-by-step checklist for onboarding an OpenClaw agent and is coherent with that purpose, but it will guide a human (or an agent) to: 1) collect a Discord bot token and place it in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, 2) change system crontab entries, and 3) restart gateway services. Before using it: - Confirm you trust the person following these steps (named 'Gus' in docs) and that Tom intends to provision the bot. - Avoid granting the Discord bot more permissions than required; don't set 'all permissions: Allow' unless necessary. - Prefer storing secrets in a secure store or with appropriate file permissions rather than world-readable config files; at minimum ensure openclaw.json is only readable by the service owner. - Back up ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and review diffs before applying changes. - When enabling OneDrive access, verify any OAuth/token flows and do not expose account passwords. - Review crontab changes carefully to avoid privilege escalation or unintended scheduling. If you want higher assurance, request an author identity/homepage for the skill or ask for a small demo run in a non-production environment to confirm exactly what files will be written.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: new-agent-setup
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to perform high-risk administrative tasks, including modifying the 'openclaw.json' system configuration, handling Discord bot tokens, and establishing persistence via crontab manipulation (Phase 3 in SKILL.md and references/checklist.md). It also involves creating symlinks to OneDrive directories, which could lead to broad file access. While these actions are aligned with the stated purpose of onboarding a new agent, the combination of credential handling, persistence, and system-level configuration changes represents a significant attack surface and high-risk behavior.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (new-agent end-to-end setup) matches the instructions: gathering Discord details, editing openclaw.json, creating HEARTBEAT/MEMORY files, adding cron jobs, and optionally linking OneDrive. Required actions and targets are coherent for this purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly instructs modifying ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, writing MEMORY.md/HEARTBEAT.md, updating crontab, restarting the gateway, and storing the Discord bot token under channels.discord.accounts. Those actions are all within onboarding scope but involve writing sensitive info and system-wide cron changes; the instructions are prescriptive rather than vague.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — nothing is downloaded or written by the skill itself. This is the lowest install risk.
Credentials
No declared environment variables or external credentials in metadata, but the runtime instructions require a Discord Bot Token/Application ID and direct you to place the token into openclaw.json. Requesting the Discord token is expected for this integration, but storing tokens in config files and instructing 'set all permissions to Allow' are sensitive operations that should be minimized and protected.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no install-time persistence. The skill can be invoked by the model (default) but is not force-enabled; it does not request modification of other skills' configs or system policies.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install new-agent-setup - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/new-agent-setup - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
