Description
Parse JSON, CSV, XML, and logs into structured output. Use when converting formats, validating structure, extracting fields, analyzing nested data.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: local parsing of files using jq/python/awk and caches results under a directory in your home. Before installing: (1) inspect the full scripts/script.sh (the file was partially shown) to confirm there are no network calls or unexpected commands in the truncated portion, (2) avoid running it on sensitive secrets/credential files since it will read those files and may cache outputs, and (3) note it will create ~/.local/share/parser-tool (SKILL.md mentions ~/.local/share/parser/ — a small path mismatch). If you need higher assurance, run the script in a sandbox or review the complete script content. If you don't want local caching, remove or modify the DATA_DIR usage in the script.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: parser
Version: 3.0.2
The 'parser' skill bundle is a functional utility for processing JSON, CSV, XML, and YAML files. The implementation in 'scripts/script.sh' uses standard tools (jq, awk, grep) and Python heredocs to perform data extraction and formatting. The script follows safe coding practices, such as using environment variables and sys.argv to pass data to Python, avoiding shell injection. While the XML parser uses the standard 'xml.etree.ElementTree' library (which has known theoretical vulnerabilities like XXE), there is no evidence of intentional malice, data exfiltration, or unauthorized network activity. The instructions in 'SKILL.md' are clear and align with the tool's stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (parse JSON/CSV/XML/logs/etc.) aligns with the included script and SKILL.md commands (json, csv, xml, yaml, lines, split, extract, stats). Required tooling (python3, optional jq) is appropriate for parsing tasks.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running scripts/script.sh with explicit parsing commands. The script only reads user-specified files, invokes jq/python/awk/awk-like logic for parsing, and prints results. It does not instruct reading unrelated system files or sending data to external endpoints in the provided content.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is present (instruction-only with bundled script). Nothing is downloaded or extracted from remote URLs.
Credentials
The skill requires no credentials or special environment variables. It does use HOME to create a cache directory. This is reasonable for a local parser, but users should note it writes data under the home directory.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no special privileges requested. The script creates a cache directory at ~/.local/share/parser-tool and stores parsed results; this persistent write to the user home is expected but worth noting.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install parser - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/parser - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
