/install openhue
Description
Control Philips Hue lights/scenes via the OpenHue CLI.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust the OpenHue Homebrew package and intend the agent to control your Philips Hue Bridge. Pair it only with your own bridge, and ask the agent to confirm specific lights, rooms, or scenes before making changes.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openhue
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is benign. It provides instructions for installing the `openhue` CLI via Homebrew and using it to control Philips Hue lights. All commands and instructions in `SKILL.md` are directly related to the stated purpose and do not exhibit any signs of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, prompt injection, or obfuscation. The installation method is standard for OpenClaw.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's ability to read and change Hue lights, rooms, and scenes directly matches its stated purpose, though it can visibly affect the user's physical environment.
Instruction Scope
The artifact is limited to OpenHue CLI setup and usage examples; no hidden role changes, prompt overrides, unrelated commands, exfiltration, or destructive instructions were found.
Install Mechanism
It installs an external Homebrew formula, openhue/cli/openhue-cli, which is disclosed and coherent with the skill purpose but depends on trusting that package source.
Credentials
Hue Bridge pairing and light control are proportionate for this skill, but users should confirm the intended bridge, room, light, or scene before allowing changes.
Persistence & Privilege
No background worker or persistence is instructed, but the Hue Bridge setup grants ongoing CLI control until the user revokes or resets that bridge authorization.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openhue - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openhue - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
