Description
Formats text according to specified style guidelines. A clean example skill with no security issues.
Usage Guidance
This appears to be a simple, local text formatter with no suspicious behavior. Before installing, confirm you have a suitable Python runtime available (SKILL.md expects you to run scripts/formatter.py) and that the agent's environment can import the utils module (the script uses a plain 'from utils import ...' which may require running from the scripts directory or adjusting PYTHONPATH). Also note the source/homepage is unknown and the files carry a Cisco copyright header — if provenance matters to you, verify the origin or run the skill in a sandbox before granting it broader access.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: simple-formatter
Version: 0.1.0
The skill bundle provides a simple text formatting utility. All files, including the SKILL.md instructions and the Python scripts (scripts/formatter.py, scripts/utils.py), operate purely on provided text input without any file system access, network communication, or external command execution. There are no indicators of prompt injection, data exfiltration, or other malicious behaviors, and the code aligns perfectly with its stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the included Python scripts that implement sentence capitalization, spacing fixes, and punctuation. One small inconsistency: SKILL.md instructs the agent to use the Python tool (scripts/formatter.py) but the registry metadata lists no required binaries — the skill should declare that a Python runtime is needed.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md restricts actions to formatting user-supplied text and explicitly prefers using the included Python script. The instructions do not ask for unrelated files, env vars, or external network endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only plus included scripts). No downloads, third-party package installs, or archive extraction are present.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths and the code does not reference any secrets or external services.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request persistent/always-on presence and contains no code that modifies other skills or system-wide configuration.

- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
