Install in OpenClaw
/install payload-diff-explainer
Description
Compare two JSON payloads or API responses and explain the meaningful differences in plain English
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and narrowly scoped. Before pasting payloads, redact any sensitive data (API keys, session tokens, PII, internal hostnames). Although the skill states it won't call external services, avoid pasting full production logs or secrets into the prompt. If you need automated or repeated diffs in production, prefer running a local tool or script so data never leaves your environment. If you're concerned about autonomous invocation, confirm your agent/skill permissions on the platform before enabling it.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the runtime instructions: the skill asks the user to paste two payloads and describes only parsing and explaining differences. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md limits actions to parsing and explaining user-provided payloads, explicitly disclaims external API/system access, and warns not to request secrets. The instructions do not ask the agent to read files, environment variables, or send data to other endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, which minimizes disk/execution risk.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Inputs are provided by the user at runtime, which is appropriate for its purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (default) and no install means it does not request persistent presence. The SKILL.md does not instruct modifying agent config. Note: the platform default allows autonomous invocation, but that default alone is not concerning for this narrow, instruction-only skill.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install payload-diff-explainer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/payload-diff-explainer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
