Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent and doesn't ask for secrets or install code, but it delegates behavior to external skill.md files on the listed Lobster domains. Before installing, consider whether you trust those domains and the platform's safeguards: remote skill.md content can change and could instruct the agent to perform actions you wouldn't expect. Recommended mitigations: (1) restrict the agent from fetching arbitrary external instructions or require user approval before following external instructions; (2) review the actual content of the listed category skill.md pages to ensure they don't request credentials or ask the agent to transmit user data; (3) ensure the agent never collects payment details in-chat and always hands checkout to the merchant's native Shopify checkout as instructed. If you need higher assurance, request that the skill be converted to a static directory (embedded data) or that the platform sandbox/whitelist remote skill.md sources.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: shopify-directory
Version: 1.0.0
The skill acts as a directory that instructs the agent to fetch and follow instructions from external URLs (e.g., lobsterbrew.com/skill.md). While this behavior is aligned with the stated purpose of merchant discovery, the instruction to treat external, dynamically fetched content as the 'source of truth' creates a significant risk for indirect prompt injection. The skill explicitly advises against collecting payment information, suggesting no immediate malicious intent, but the architectural pattern of fetching remote instructions is inherently risky.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the instructions: the skill only maps buyer intents to a fixed list of Lobster category domains and tells the agent to read those category site skill.md files. No unrelated binaries, credentials, or installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md explicitly instructs the agent to re-fetch and treat remote https://<domain>/skill.md files from the listed Lobster domains as the source of truth and follow their instructions. That is coherent with a directory-style skill, but it means the agent will dynamically execute behavior driven by external text — a supply-chain/execution risk because those remote files could change or contain instructions that go beyond discovery (including asking for data or directing network actions).
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec, no code files, and no downloads. Nothing is written to disk by the skill package itself.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The lack of requested secrets is proportionate to the described directory/discovery function.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no claims of modifying other skills or persistent agent configuration. The skill does permit autonomous invocation (platform default) but does not request elevated persistence.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
