Install in OpenClaw
/install skill-installer-usm
Description
Install, search, update, and manage skills from public registries like ClawHub using the clawhub CLI within the OpenClaw workspace.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a legitimate installer tool but has small inconsistencies and will cause filesystem-wide changes when used. Before installing or letting the agent run commands on your behalf: 1) Confirm which install location you want (workspace ~/ .openclaw/workspace vs global ~/.skills/) and reconcile the README vs SKILL.md. 2) Ensure the clawhub CLI is the official package (install it yourself or verify the npm package before use). 3) Do not allow agent-initiated installs from chat (WhatsApp) without explicit confirmation — run the CLI commands yourself. 4) Inspect the sync script (~/.skills/skill-manager/scripts/sync_skills.sh) and any skill-manager code before executing; it will create/update symlinks and can change other agents' behavior. 5) Verify provenance of 'skill-manager' (the README points to a GitHub repo; review that repository). 6) Back up existing skill directories and meta.yaml files before running sync/update operations. These checks will reduce risk and clarify the small mismatches noted above.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: skill-installer-usm
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle serves as a legitimate management tool for the OpenClaw ecosystem, providing instructions for an AI agent to search, install, and update skills using the 'clawhub' CLI. The logic in SKILL.md is transparent, aligns with the stated purpose in README.md, and includes explicit security warnings regarding the untrusted nature of third-party skills and the need for user confirmation before installing global dependencies.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (install/search/update skills from registries) aligns with the SKILL.md instructions to use the clawhub CLI. However there are inconsistent claims about install target: README.md describes a global hub (~/.skills/) while SKILL.md shows workspace installs (~/.openclaw/workspace -> ./skills/). meta.yaml scope is 'universal' which supports global installs, but the mismatch between workspace vs global paths is unexplained and worth verification.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md directs the agent/user to run clawhub CLI commands and to run a skill-manager sync script (~/.skills/skill-manager/scripts/sync_skills.sh) to configure meta.yaml scope and create symlinks across Agents. Running those commands changes filesystem state beyond a single skill (distributing symlinks to agent directories). This behavior is coherent for a universal installer, but it means the agent will modify other agent directories and should only be done with explicit user consent and after inspecting the sync script.
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only with no install spec and no code files to run. That lowers supply-chain risk from installs originating in this package. The SKILL.md asks user to ensure clawhub CLI is present and explicitly says not to auto-install without confirmation.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. The instructions reference standard user home paths only. There are no unexplained secret requests.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request credentials, but its intended workflow includes running a sync script that modifies symlinks for multiple agent platforms (global distribution). That confers filesystem-impacting privileges when executed; this is expected for a hub installer but the user should confirm and audit the script before allowing it to run.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install skill-installer-usm - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/skill-installer-usm - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
