Description
Raspberry Pi system administration. Monitor resources, manage services, perform updates and maintenance.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: inspect and administer a Raspberry Pi. Before using it: (1) review the scripts yourself (they are included) and correct hard-coded paths (e.g., /home/srose/clawdis) and the port inconsistencies in restart-gateway; (2) run read-only commands or use the provided --dry-run flags to preview changes; (3) ensure pnpm/tailscale/docker expectations match your system; (4) be cautious granting sudo — maintenance actions (update, clean, optimize, reboot, restart-gateway) will modify services, write sysctl configs, or reboot the device; (5) if you want the agent to run autonomously, understand it could invoke these sudo-requiring scripts (the skill will still prompt for confirmation in many cases, but double-check behavior).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: pi-admin
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for Raspberry Pi administration is classified as benign. All scripts perform standard system information gathering and maintenance tasks (e.g., `update.sh`, `clean.sh`, `reboot.sh`, `optimize.sh`). Maintenance commands explicitly require sudo privileges, often prompt for user confirmation, and include `--dry-run` options for previewing changes. The `SKILL.md` documentation is transparent, clearly outlining the skill's purpose, collected information, and actions, without any evidence of prompt injection attempts against the agent. There is no indication of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or obfuscation across any of the analyzed files.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name and description match the included scripts: monitoring (overview, resources, storage, network, tailscale, hardware), maintenance (update, clean, optimize, reboot) and service management (services, restart-gateway). All required actions (system inspection, systemctl, apt, journalctl, docker, reboot, pnpm for a gateway) are proportional to Raspberry Pi administration. Minor oddities: several scripts reference a specific user path (/home/srose/clawdis) and the restart-gateway script contains inconsistent port numbers (scripts start port 18789 but some messages refer to 18790). Those are configuration issues, not indicators of hidden functionality.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the scripts are explicit about what to run and what they read: many /proc, /sys, /etc files, journalctl, /var/log/syslog, ip/ss outputs, docker lists, and tailscale commands. Maintenance commands require sudo and prompt for confirmation; dry-run flags exist. There is no instruction to send data to external endpoints or to harvest credentials, but the restart-gateway script does start a background pnpm process (silencing output) and prints local/Tailscale URLs — so running the skill will reveal local IPs and service ports. Review and adjust hard-coded paths before running.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only), and the package includes the actual shell scripts. Nothing is downloaded or executed from remote URLs by the skill itself. Risk is limited to running the included scripts on the host; there is no installer that pulls arbitrary code.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables or credentials and does not attempt to read secrets from environment variables. It operates on local system files and services only. The only external dependency implied is the presence of tools like pnpm, tailscale, docker, and systemctl — which are reasonable for the described tasks. No unrelated credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and default autonomous invocation are set (normal). The scripts legitimately require elevated privileges for maintenance operations (apt, systemctl, sysctl, reboot). Be aware these actions can be disruptive: optimize disables services and writes /etc/sysctl.d/99-swappiness.conf, restart-gateway pkills processes and starts a pnpm process, and reboot performs a system reboot. These are expected for an admin tool but require user consent and care.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pi-admin - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pi-admin - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
