/install pget
Description
Parallel file download and optional tar extraction using the pget CLI (single URL or multifile manifest). Use when you need high‑throughput downloads from HTTP(S)/S3/GCS, want to split a large file into chunks for speed, or want to download and extract a .tar/.tar.gz in one step.
Usage Guidance
This skill is an instruction-only wrapper for the pget CLI and looks internally consistent. Before installing or running the suggested curl command, verify the GitHub release/source (replicate/pget) and, if available, verify checksums or use Homebrew which is safer for macOS. Be aware that the "-x" in-memory extraction can consume large amounts of RAM for big archives, and manifest/STDIN input runs whatever URLs you provide — only download from trusted sources. If you plan to run install commands that write to /usr/local/bin with sudo, review the binary first or prefer a package manager.

Description: OpenClaw Agent Skill
The skill bundle is classified as suspicious due to its installation instructions in `references/pget.md`. It uses `sudo curl -L` to download a binary from `https://github.com/replicate/pget` and then `sudo chmod +x` to make it executable and install it system-wide. While this is a common method for installing CLI tools, it represents a significant risky capability involving downloading and executing external code with elevated privileges, which could be exploited if the source repository were compromised. There is no clear evidence of intentional malicious behavior or prompt injection attempts against the agent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the provided instructions: everything focuses on downloading files (single or manifest) and optional tar extraction. No unrelated environment variables, binaries, or config paths are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays on-topic: it instructs how to run pget, how to supply a manifest or stdin, and how to tune concurrency and extraction. The only file reads referenced are user-supplied manifests or destinations necessary for download; there are no instructions to read unrelated system files or secrets.
Install Mechanism
references/pget.md includes installation commands that download a binary from GitHub releases and a Homebrew tap (replicate/pget). Those are expected for a CLI tool and are standard. Note: the curl install uses sudo to write to /usr/local/bin — running such install commands requires privilege and you should verify the release source and checksums before running.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials. Options like --resolve are CLI flags for pget and do not imply hidden credential access. The lack of secrets or config-path requirements is proportionate for a downloader tool.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and is user-invocable. It does not attempt to modify other skills or system-wide settings. Autonomous model invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with any broad privileges here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pget - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pget - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
