Description
Paylocity integration. Manage data, records, and automate workflows. Use when the user wants to interact with Paylocity data.
Usage Guidance
Before installing or using this skill, note that the manifest does not declare the dependency that the instructions require: the Membrane CLI and a Membrane account. If you plan to use it:
- Verify the Membrane CLI package (@membranehq/cli) on npm and its GitHub repository (https://github.com/membranedev/application-skills) before running a global install; prefer a pinned version rather than `@latest`.
- Understand that authentication uses a browser-based flow that grants Membrane a connection to Paylocity on your behalf — review Membrane's privacy/security docs and the scopes requested when you create the connection.
- Because this skill relies on an external service, consider least-privilege: create connections with minimal scopes, test in a non-production Paylocity tenant first, and audit actions invoked by the agent.
- Ask the publisher to update the skill manifest to declare the required binary (membrane CLI) and the need for a Membrane account so the registry accurately reflects the runtime requirements.
- Treat the global npm install like any third-party binary: run it on a trusted host, or install locally in an isolated environment if possible.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: paylocity
Version: 1.0.1
The skill is a standard integration for Paylocity using the Membrane platform. It provides instructions for the agent to use the 'membrane' CLI to handle authentication and execute API actions (e.g., managing employee records and payroll data) through a centralized service. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to integrate with Paylocity (reasonable) and uses Membrane as a proxy/connector. However, the registry metadata lists no required binaries or credentials, while SKILL.md explicitly requires installing the Membrane CLI (npm global install) and a Membrane account/connection. The manifest therefore understates the capability footprint and dependencies.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays on-purpose: it documents using the Membrane CLI to authenticate, create a connection to Paylocity, discover and run actions. It does not instruct reading arbitrary local files or exfiltrating unrelated data. It does require interactive auth (browser-based code flow) and network access to Membrane and Paylocity.
Install Mechanism
There is no formal install spec in the package metadata, but the runtime docs tell the user to run `npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest`. Installing a global npm package is a moderate-risk action (third-party code written to disk). The package scope (@membranehq) and accompanying GitHub repo make this plausible, but the manifest should have declared the binary requirement and install expectations.
Credentials
The skill does not request API keys or local secrets and explicitly advises letting Membrane handle credentials server-side. Requiring a Membrane account and connection is proportional to a connector-style skill. No unexpected environment variables or config paths are requested in the docs.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is instruction-only with no install payload and does not request persistent agent privileges (always:false). It does rely on an external Membrane service and CLI; the skill itself does not request the ability to modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install paylocity - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/paylocity - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
