/install ssh-tunnel
Description
SSH tunneling, port forwarding, and remote access patterns. Use when setting up local/remote/dynamic port forwards, configuring jump hosts, managing SSH keys, multiplexing connections, transferring files with scp/rsync, or debugging SSH connection issues.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears safe to install as an SSH reference, but review commands before running them. Be especially careful with 0.0.0.0 remote forwards, disabled host-key checking, passphrase-less keys, agent forwarding, and background tunnels.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: ssh-tunnel
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is a comprehensive guide for using SSH, covering tunneling, port forwarding, key management, and file transfers. All commands and instructions are directly related to the stated purpose of managing SSH connections. While SSH inherently involves high-risk capabilities like shell access, network communication, and sensitive file (e.g., ~/.ssh) manipulation, these are core to the skill's function and are explicitly declared as required. There is no evidence of prompt injection, data exfiltration to unauthorized endpoints, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation. The documentation even includes security warnings (e.g., agent forwarding risks), indicating a responsible approach.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The documented capabilities match the stated SSH tunneling, port forwarding, jump host, key management, and transfer purpose, but they are inherently powerful remote-access operations.
Instruction Scope
Most commands are visible, user-directed examples. Some examples, such as public remote binds and disabled host-key checking, should be reviewed carefully before copying.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files; this is an instruction-only skill requiring the ssh binary.
Credentials
Use of SSH, ~/.ssh configuration, SSH agents, and related command examples is proportionate to the skill purpose, but it touches sensitive remote-access configuration.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill documents background tunnels and SSH connection multiplexing, which can keep access paths open after the initial command unless the user stops them.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install ssh-tunnel - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/ssh-tunnel - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
