Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it claims: a local persistent memory system that installs a Python CLI and wires an OpenClaw memory plugin. Before installing, consider: (1) Where data will be stored (.palaia directory) and what filesystem permissions/backups apply; (2) Whether auto-capture should be enabled for your workspace — set scope to private for sensitive data and avoid public/team if you don't want shared storage; (3) Verify the palaia package source/version (pip installs run package code during install); if you require higher assurance, inspect the package or install it in an isolated environment (container or VM) first; (4) Confirm organizational policies about storing conversational data and any retention/encryption settings offered by palaia. If you need, ask the maintainer/source of the palaia package or review the package repository before proceeding.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: palaia
Version: 2.7.3
The palaia skill bundle provides a comprehensive persistent memory system for OpenClaw agents using SQLite and semantic search. The SKILL.md documentation outlines legitimate features such as multi-agent synchronization, automated health checks via 'palaia doctor', and a local UI for memory management. Security-positive indicators include explicit warnings against storing secrets and instructions for the agent to seek user confirmation before performing destructive operations like data deletion.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (persistent agent memory) match the instructions and required binary: the SKILL.md purely installs/initializes the palaia CLI and the OpenClaw plugin and configures memory slots. Requested items (palaia binary, pip install) are appropriate for this purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions tell the agent to install packages, create a local .palaia store, run health checks, and enable an OpenClaw memory plugin. This is expected for a memory system, but it does explicitly enable auto-capture of conversations and recommends running doctor silently every load — users should be aware this will persist conversational context locally (and can be configured for team/public scopes).
Install Mechanism
No registry install spec in the package metadata, but the SKILL.md uses standard pip/pipx/uv commands (no unknown download hosts or archive extraction). This is a normal, low-risk install pattern for a Python CLI.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, no external credentials, and no config paths. The instructions create a local .palaia directory which is consistent with a local memory store and does not request unrelated secrets or cloud credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and model invocation is allowed (default). The skill asks to install/enable the memory plugin for OpenClaw, which is expected for persistent memory; it does not request elevated system-wide privileges or modify other skills' credentials.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install palaia - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/palaia - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
