Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent for patching OpenClaw UI themes, but it performs high-impact local edits to installed application bundles. Before installing or running it: 1) Review scripts (scripts/backup_theme_bundle.py) yourself and run them interactively rather than granting full autonomous execution. 2) Always create and keep backups (the script does this) and test in a staging VM or container if possible. 3) Limit privileges: avoid running as root; ensure agent/autonomous execution cannot modify unrelated system files. 4) Inspect any planned JS edits carefully — patch only the exact snippets the guidance identifies and verify recovery steps work before applying to production. 5) If you will let an agent run this autonomously, restrict that agent's file-system scope to avoid unwanted modifications.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-theme-patcher
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is designed to perform invasive, surgical patches on the minified JS and CSS assets of an active OpenClaw installation to apply or migrate UI themes. It includes a Python script (`scripts/backup_theme_bundle.py`) that uses `subprocess` to execute shell commands for locating the application and extracting code snippets. While the instructions in `SKILL.md` and `references/patch-points.md` are focused on benign UI customization, the capability to modify live application code and the use of shell execution for discovery represent a high-risk pattern that could be repurposed for unauthorized code injection or persistence.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (theme patching/migration) matches what the skill does: locating dist/control-ui/assets/index-*.js and index-*.css, extracting theme selectors/snippets, and guiding surgical edits. Required operations (which, readlink, reading node_modules and writing workspace backups) are appropriate and proportional to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md limits activity to resolving the active install, backing up live bundles, comparing structures, and making small targeted edits to theme-related JS/CSS. It does not instruct broad system scanning, network exfiltration, or reading unrelated credentials. The included helper script only reads local bundle files, extracts snippets, writes backup artifacts, and prints a JSON report.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only) and the only shipped code is a small helper script. Nothing is downloaded or executed from external URLs and no archive extraction occurs.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables, no credentials, and no special config paths beyond the expected OpenClaw bundle paths. The script reads standard node_modules locations and the active openclaw binary location — all directly relevant to the task.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and does not modify other skills. However, its purpose inherently involves editing installed application bundles on the host. If an agent is given the ability to run this skill autonomously, it could modify live UI assets—this is expected for the task but is high-impact, so prefer manual review or limited privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-theme-patcher - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-theme-patcher - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
